old in two ways haven't touched this one over a year i think. now i wanted to finish it. it's an old trek ship, going to be in the era of the nx. i dunno if i'll add laser cannons or phase cannons to it though
somehow i can't decide which nacelle design to take...

Drool! Drool! (spelled right, too).
I love that ship! PosDef it belongs between the DY and NX series.
Suggestion: Go with the domed nacelle caps. And go red. Lettering should be the old USAF font (as per TOS).

Ohh that is nice for sure! I could use this for my bit of conjecture on the Earth-Kzin Wars.

i've thought about the bussard issue and have come to the conclusion that the first one is the best. the others just look too tmp-ish.
oh, and the ship missed something essential. it's added now

nice model... planning to do any textures?
if you want a more ENT look go for metallic panels, and for a TOSier version i suggest adding some wear & tear, scorching on engines, etc to cover for the lack of paneling detail
Posted by Aldiwahn Teerodi (Member # 931) on :
of course it will have textures
so, some updates
i think that only the bottom part is left for detailing, maybe also the fuel hatches.

It looks like and old type of 'Raven'.
Posted by Aldiwahn Teerodi (Member # 931) on :
now as you mention it i also see the similarities
Posted by Aldiwahn Teerodi (Member # 931) on :
thanks all for the repiles
a size comparison with my homer class
and a texture test
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Your Daedelus Class ship looks good - but the panelling looks a bit too... shiny. The new ship is looking better - give the panels a bit more of a weathered look?
Looking good though.

it's not dead, it's not dead. it survived the last year so some weeks won't hurt too much
didn't do much, except for maneuvering thrusters and new exhausts
and i'll see what i can do about the weathering

Awesome design, Aldiwahn! I can definitely see a ship like that in the Romulan War era...

I like this one!

This is a great ship, really nice design, and follows logical elements for the era that the NX lacks. Great work.
