USS Enterprise in Drydock before Departure

[gmd3d]

This is my latest rendering with my reimagined Starfleet ships, I have worked on this scene a number of times and I am well pleased with "at the moment".

I really like the night background and the circular drydock, especially. Looks great.

gmd3d, this is spectacular work!

 

[Angry Fanboy]

Gorgeous. And I adore any picture of a starship where people are standing on the hull for scale!

 

[gmd3d]

Another angle

Amazing work.

Are those little vessels with the bubble domes based on the 'space taxi' design sketch in the Star Trek Sketchbook"?

Yes indeed the Space Tug by Matt Jefferies, I called it the Hutzel class at the time. he had recently passed away. though I later went on to name a Starship after him too.

I just noticed your nacelle mods. Very nice!

I've gotta ask, what's your take on the shuttlebay door mechanism?

 

[trynda1701]

Obviously, you've added phaser emitters, but where does this version fire torpedoes from?

 

[Santaman]

Really nice work.

Each segment of the hangar doors is layer one above another.

The other idea was they when closed are look seamless together, but when opening move/slide back and then are layered

That is absolutely beautiful work, Gerard! Well done!

@gmd3d - Very cool Gerard. Thanks for sharing that!

Here they are

 

[shapeshifter]

Seriously. Excellent.

 

[Santaman]

Another version of the 1701.. can't be too many of them so..

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Gerard I am just LOVING that spacedock. It works well with the “retro 23rd century” TOS vibe.

Troublemaker.

 

[Santaman]

I also really like seeing people walk around on top of the saucer..

 

[publiusr]

I love the secondary hull torps
