I love this ship (it's now my official favourite, I got bored with the Akira), and I got tired of seeing the same scans from the Encyclopaedia everywhere, so. . .
If anyone wants me, I'll be hiding behind the door with a baseball bat for Sol to come in and say "you're just a tracer!" B)

You know First, there's another pic of the Steamrunner Class in the ST: TNG Skethcbook. It's a nifty one, just that too bad I can't post it.

It's on Pedro's site, I think.
BTW, Lee, it's Jaegar, not Yeager.

No, Mike, not that one. . . there's an actual photo of the CGI model, which looks crap - still images of CGI ships always do. It clears up a few things such as the howling difference between the navelle grilles on the two views above. . . but I didn't have that photo handy - and besides, it's so blurred it gives me a headache. One day I'll get around to incorporating some features of the photo into the diagram above.
And Jaeger-Schmaeger. He knows stuff all about designing Star Trek ships as Altair's pic shows - the deflector would kill everyone on the bridge the first time it was used. And he never responded to that email we sent, so f***'im. 8)

Do you mean this one? (Click on it to get a bigger one in a new window)
Note that the other pic I posted states: USS StReamrunner Revamp.

Wow, it was originally a Streamrunner Class starship.

Oh First, I actually have a CGI shot of the Akira Class made for First Contact. It's like the Steamrunner Class pic that is on Pedro's website.

Where did you get it? The omission of the Akira from the Sketchbook, when they'd included the other three FC Ships, never made sense.
As for the Streamrunner, it's a telling difference, and I wonder why it was changed. Surely the whole Encyclopaedia can't have been wrong? And besides, if I remember correctly someone had already revealed the names of the 4 ships long before the Encyclopedia came out. Mind you, we didn't know what a Steamrunner is, and we don't know what a Streamrunner!
Next up, I think I'll do the Norway. . . 8)

I just e-mailed a copy to Fabrux. And didn't I e-mail you also First? As for Federation Shipmaster, I'll e-mail him the pic since I have no clue on how to post it here. Oh, I found the pic on the Star Trek in Sound and Vision site.

Top notch work, Lee. If they had people like you working for them down there, there'd be a lot more consistency in the starships seen on the shows.

*blushes* Oh, heck, it's just tracing. It's thanks to The Vorlon that I can use PSP 5 at all. . .
As for this pic, I now know the one you mean. I do have it, and it's of far superior quality to the other three as featured in the Sketchbook. I have two versions, the one originally scanned by either IDC or Pedro, which needed a lot of cleaning up. . . but before I got ver far with it, the folks at STinSnV got there first.
And no, I haven't received any email. . . and now you mention it I haven't received any at all for a few days. Odd.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but look at the rim of the saucer and the phaser strip - its not actually a smooth circle - you can see its a polygon... I mean circles ARE polygons - but this one needs a few more sides to make it look more 'circular'.

I've nearly finished my version of the Norway - or the top view anyway. What I need is the corresponding CGI pic from the Movie Sketchbook for comparison purposes, see if there's anything I can add. I'd also like the side view from the Encyclopaedia if anyone has it - the one on Pedro's site is tiny.

I think the steamrunner looks better upside down, like on Altair's sketch!
