Voyager refit!

[JoeP]

I believe it was mentioned in another thread that Clawhammer is working on modelling a refit of Voyager, as well as the other ships in the Voyager Fleet according to info in the books. And instead of posting updates in those, I thought it would be appropriate for it to have it's own thread.

There was an update a little bit ago that I don't remember being mentioned here.

I can't wait to see more progress; there's a list of some cool stuff he's considering...

Not sure that TrekLit is where you meant to put this?

 

[Christopher]

No, it is a Trek Lit topic because it's about the version of Voyager portrayed in the current series of novels, along with the fleet that accompanies it in those novels.

well as long it doesnt have 3 nacelles i love it. however i may look like. you cant make the intrepid ugly :-)

I've always thought Voyager was a fugly little ship with atrophied little nacelles, but do we really need the novels to move even further from the TV shows they're based on? I can't see an unrecognizable ship on the cover of an already Janeway-free Voyager novel grabbing the interest of casual fans. They'll say "that's not Voyager" and move on.

Who said this was for the covers? My impression is that Clawhammer is doing this as a personal art project.

Besides, the novels have already moved this far away. The books have already established that Voyager has been refitted for slipstream, and have already introduced the eight other ships of the Delta Quadrant fleet. Clawhammer's just creating visual interpretations of things that already exist in prose. It's no different in principle from when we propose actors to "play" novel characters or when Geoffrey Thorne and I did our respective illustrations of Titan characters.

No one did, my impression was that KingDaniel was speculating, no more, no less.
