Yes Sir! I try but my studies take a lot of my spare free time. So I don't know when I can continue my work on the ship. But I try it as soon as possible. :-)
Btw: Actually you should be able to image how the other views would look like. *g* Just think of the views of an Ambassador/Excelsior mix

Wow! Great artwork (as always), and a fantastic detail work and color scheme.
Well, it took me a few seconds to get used to it, but I like it. Only the combination of nacelles and nacelle pylons is strange because it looks like the nacelles are pointing down although their centerline is horizontal.

Look at it this way: it will be the first ship in Star Trek with a good-looking engineering section after saucer separation.

It actually looks better then "The Titan" design the book company settled on.

And at last I have a few pictures of the design process (nothing special, just want to show you how I came to the final design): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 all side Me

Question - does the nav deflector extend up into the dorsal half of the secondary hull, or is that all we see of it? Also, is the saucer section circular or elliptical-wide?

Seems this wonderfull thread was forgot, though I can't begin to figure out why. Gorgeous images here. Is Lobo still around?

I am currently working on a new Starship. It's an early TNG ear ship.
Tell me what you think.

I like the front - but the nacelles have to be less... complicated. Too much going on. The back of them are very Sovereign-esque so that bucks the design lineage (This is why I don't subscribe to the First Contact ships being pre-TNG)
The nacelles need to be more rounded more Ambassador/Cheyenne/Galaxy esque. Stretched more maybe like you have done - to mirror an Excelsior influence or more probably an Enterprise-B Excelsior variant!
Otherwise very nice!

The 'USS Imaginus' got my attention. I think everything is perfect. I can see the evolution out of Excelsior design philosophy into a prerunner of Galaxy style design.
But the kilometer long....thing, seen here, keeps me comming back.

Hey, speaking of starships and Masao.... I so ripping you off, pallie! Sorta.
I'm making a nice little model of your Avenger design...updated for the DS9 era. I kept the ship the same size, figuring that miniaturization would allow the ship a crew of about 30 and still be able to kick ass as a cutter.
I'll post piccys as it finished up, but I wanted your permission/blessing just in case someone wants to cast it )you'd get one, of course).
Again, this is a departure from your work, but the infludence is clear.
