Kyle Amasov: [qb]Here's a link, a really nice image of the Star Destroyer-McQuarrie-class. [URL=http://www.hash.com/users/meshula/Daystrom/mcqTO.html]You see what I mean[/URL] ?[/qb][/QUOTE]Funny. That looks nothing much like the Phase 2 designs McQuarrie painted. Only the secondary hull shape is vaguely reminiscent of it.[/qb][/QUOTE]As far as I remember, his drawings had very flat secondary hulls. As did the models built later. Maybe those guys thought that wouldn't work and modified it. The pictures are good, what I don't like is the fact that they Constitutionized them. The McQuarrie or Apollo or whatever you like to call it should have a unique design lineage. For all we know ST:III somehow canonized the design, as did BoBW and Reunion. As a matter of fact, the ships should be accepted with the shape they have been constructed. The problem is that I never saw a good schematic of them besides the concept sketches and some ugly little b/w-gifs.[/qb][/QUOTE]At one point I sort of reverse-engineered the "Titan" version of the Phase 2 ship from the photographs of the study model (the best ones I've seen are in The Art of Star Trek), with the intention of scratchbuilding a model based on it. A big problem was that the sketches of the design never quite gave anough detail on the bottom of the secondary hull, and I've never seen a photo of the underside of the study model. Some features I really liked was the big impulse pack that stuck out from under the ship and appeared to become the floor of the super-huge hangar deck. [/QB][/QUOTE]
