Hi everybody,
first I have to say sorry but I could not find the old Volantis thread so I start a new.
I have begun to refit some of my older ships.
I started with the Volantis class you might remember.

(I hope it's ok to link this URL from Bernd's site)

I am currently working on the side view of the ship. I made 2 vers. (just with little difference in the neck)

Actually I refit the most of the ships cause I discovered that some of them look pretty ugly ^^

Have a nice day

Are those grey strips alonf the secondary hull intended to be phasers?
I like them as phasers!

The phaser strips on the pylons and saucer seem a bit thin considering the ship's size- thinner than on the Sovvie even.

I presume this ship shall represent the original proposed design for the Ent-D which later was used to represent Ent-C on the lounge display, but was not used as Ambassador class?

Anyway... good art!

I just spent five minutes trying to figure out what the difference in the neck was. Man, you're picky. ;-)

I quite like the vessel, and agree that the new version is nicer-looking. The old version was basically the same, but the contrast between details was too high.

From a technological standpoint, though, the missing lifeboats on the underside of the secondary hull could be a bad thing. Just a thought.

That's a significant improvement of a design that was already great. I don't think the phaser strips are too thin. They may just not be as much raised as on the Sovereign class or Intrepid.
