Man, didn't even catch that. (Yes it was the original Nordie, scaled up so I could measure it). I've been doing too much of this, I think.. probably should switch to writing up the data points.

No worries. I've been in that boat before. I have a page here of ships that I've drawn from the TOS-TOS Movie era, but I only drew the ones that I liked, heh. The only one I've done a top view for so far is the Santee, never did get started on others.

hmmm...from the top view, the ipulse engines look like a box of chinese food. Maybe the ship's propelled by a fried rice drive.
Hella cool work there Fabrux.
I'd like to see someone make a version of this with NX-01-style components: lots of bare metal and details, the NX style nacelles, etc.

God... gosh darn it. Ass Hat .... I have to save that page, there's so much pics to clip...
*whips Fab for more overhead views* have you discussed the idea of adding some of those to Maso's stuff?
I still don't like the bigass intercoolers. But the thing I had in mind from the beginning -- that as launched, this was a much-more streamlined, proto-shuttlecarrier -- is much clearer now. I called them cruisers because, you know, aircraft carriers were originally called cruisers (CV="cruiser, aviation").

Well, Aridas, they can't all be the swans, ya know? I think the rather bizzare look of the Nordenskjold is what sets her apart from a lot of the other fandom designs out there.

Nice but I'm not a fan of grid lines on the hull. IIRC there were never grid lines on the model while the show was on the air. They seem to have been added later.

They were penciled in for the production version, but very lightly (and under Jefferies' protest). They DO show up on some rare shots, but not very often. (This is why the FJ manual has them, actually.)
Granted, they're pretty dark here, though nowhere near as dark as the Smithsonian had them for several years.
