The Scorpion is a frigate intended to phase out the aging New Orleans class.
The Bray is a design from ravenstar Studios that I've modified somewhat.
The Eagle is a step between the Miranda nd Constalation classes.
The Hermes is a fast courier and scout.
Comments are, of course, welcome. :wink:

Wow. I really like that Scorpion. Really nice ship. The Eagle looks pretty interesting, but I'd like to see some more of it!

I'll dig up a ventral view on the eagle: she's got Constalation style lab bays under her and some of those Soyuz style antenna that every one loves so much.
Okay! I added a pic of the Eagle's ventral labs and antenna.

"Constellation".
Nice handywork, tho.

I actually really dig the Bray. I might've done something else with the nacelle struts, but I like the concept alot.

Very nicely done, Jason! I especially like the USS Bray! Nifty underside.

I can't take the credit for the Bray's design. Ravenstar Studios makes that particular ship although I modified it for 2500th scale by adding all the gray panels, phasers, windows, pannants and the Impulse engine. I didint want to change his actual model more than that: I was twmpted to replace his nacelle struts with something Soverign-ish but refrained. Posted by Axeman 3D (Member # 1050) on :
You got any drawings or plans for the Scorpion, it's a pretty tasty looking ship without being too overtly Trek in design? I haven't built a sizeable Trek ship for some time, just shuttles and small frieghters.

Nice! Particularly like the Eagle and Hermes.
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
I'm glad people like the Eagle and Hermes. Hermes' nacelles are meant to operate in two shifts: the ship can max-out two naceles and then switch to the other pair and max those out while the first pair recovers. Warp 9 for 24 hours would be possible that way to get a VIP somewhere fast without making some poor Excelsior play taxi.
I plan on making detailed schematics for the Los Angeles USS Scorpion once I get a new version of Illustrator. I'm making the Goodson design right now as well as a great orignal romulan cruiser from Ravenstar that I got in today's mail. I hope to have those pics up next week sometime.

I like all of them. Only one thing: why does a Sovvie-style ship have TOS-nacelles??

As always, looking good, Jason.

It's that retro look (like the Olympic is a dead ringer for the Deadalus). The Bray's nacelles are of the DS9 era, just in timeless packaging. ....and the model is able to be built in any era and in either 1400th or 2500th (like mine) scale.
Jeff, you could easily build the Eagle design: I know you've got a extra Miranda or three lying about your workbench.
