Not quite sure why I picked this one next. We've only been able to see it in a couple of background shots, but I like how it was redesigned from the TOS version.

Wow.
Sweet- it's a great update of one of the OS's more clunky designs.

You DO realize that you should draw Blackbird as well, do you? [Big Grin]

Awesome job! Any chance of seeing a size comparison w/ a Viper or Colonial. 1? As to the remarks regarding the Blackbird, I like the idea but it just seems for, tobe a little retro in look. I was hoping for a 2 seater like the Cobra Fighter. I'm not sure if that was an official desin in TOS, but anyways...awesome job! I ask again though....Galactica maybe? I love your wok dude.

Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :

Very good chance of seeing a size comparison soon. I don't have an official length for this, but according to some highly detailed concept sketches, it's about 85 feet long.

If I had some decent references for the Blackbird, I might do it. It would be the easiest of the lot, being all straight lines! I'm kinda weary of doing the Galactica, since it's so big compared to everything else so far. I'm just not sure how much detail would end up in it. I may at least do one end of the hangar pod, since that would be a useful reference.

I'm not a big fan of the series. But this is awesome.

Apparently, "soon" means "after I've recovered enough from this !@#%!#$% cold to even *look* at a computer screen". I do have some other ideas for this shuttle, but it'll have to wait for now.

My thoughts exactly.

I had no idea the Winnebego was that large.

Can you make an Eagle 5 version for me?

Posted by Starbuck1978 (Member # 1703) on :

Thanks for size comparison BJ. I didn't think the Mk.II Shuttle was that big. This all reminds me of this old wallpaper I used to have w/ all the Enterprises on it. I take them apart, cut and past and build my own custom ship designs. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to try some things w/ these designs. Bear in mind that one of the ideas I had will most likely be a hand drawn traced version of the Mk.II Viper w/ a little Dark Knight Remix I've had floating in my head. But anyways I hope we see more of your work soon! Hope you're feeling better as well [Smile]

"sturn elevation"

(I sure like that Raptor, though.)

Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :

I dunno. Seeing it in schematic view like that, it looks like it ran into a wall or something.

Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :

A couple of different paint jobs...

"Sagittaron", no? [Smile]

Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :

No.

Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :

Yes.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Maybe.

Posted by Lee (Member # 393) on :

Looks like a shark with eyelashes.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Sagittaron = noun, Sagittarian = adjective?

Posted by Reverend (Member # 335) on :

Probably.

Posted by B.J. (Member # 858) on :

Pithy!

Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :

Unknown.

I'm guessing it's a designer flub. But to explain it in context, it's more than likely a proper noun using the colonial name as a base. Westjet, and all that.
