[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] A very early Eaves interview said, re: the design, that "fans of the Akira" will be impressed. Then cameth the show, and the bitching, and the whining, and the threats to hold one's breath until they turned blue unless the ship magically changed. Next up was the "Broken Bow" novelization, which had a small "making of" feaurette in it, in which there was the following quote from Herman Zimmerman: [QUOTE]"We found a ship that was in our archives - a minor vessel that had been used in a battle in one of the features that had been created by ILM. We did not use that ship, but we took ideas from it and from those ideas eventually - and this process took about four months, all week and weekend CGI work by a very talented Lightwave artist, Doug Drexler - we finally came up with a shape that everybody loves. I trust the fans will love it as well as the producers and the cast do."[/QUOTE]Then came Doug's famed "hush hush" email to Hobbes which got posted on the Enterprise forum <a href=http://flare.solareclipse.net/cgi2/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=000191&p=>here</a>. The Eaves/Drexler interview in the current ST:Communicator (partially transcribed <a href=http://www.trek5.com/ships/index.html>here</a>) mentions that the E-nil, E-refit and "other ships from the movies" were an influence, but the principal inspiration was the P-38 (which, IIRC, was also Jaeger's inspiration for the Akira).
