[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Like Shik, I spend a lot of my time just looking around. I get ideas from a lot of different places: insects, airplanes, subs, trains, cars, household appliances, seafood, plants, etc. Early jets are a particularly good source for unusual ideas. I also spend a lot of time sketching, usually just studies of masses without worrying about surface details. I also try to sketch in perspective to avoid designs that look good only from one direction. Sometimes I abandon the sketch pad and do "physical sketching" with clay, dishes, pencils, and rolled up papers, holding them in different positions and looking at them from different angles. If you want to continue with pre-TOS Fed designs, try greatly varying the size and shape of the elements. For example, try a ship wih an extremely small or non circular saucer. For example, for Paris, I pushed the bridge to the very front of a pointed primary hull. Vary the number and placement of the nacelles: they don't always have to be long, paired, supported on long sticks, and at the back of the ship. [/QB][/QUOTE]
