[QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jim NCC1701A: [qb] Do you have any more floating around that you can show us?[/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, these are pretty much it. As I recall, there was at least one more design I played around with several years ago, but I do not seem to have kept any drawings of it. Basically, the design was simply a TOS/Franz Joseph style scout/destroyer with [i]two[/i] nacelles (one port and one starboard) attached at the bottom of the dorsal via horizontal pylons. I had put a deflector dish sandwiched in-between. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [qb] I think that to iron out the details of how the curves and straight lines intersect, you're going to have to try some front and rear views. Unless you do that, your ships are just sort of graphic exercises rather than realistic ships. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks for the tips, but bear in mind that I simply wanted to �recreate� in Photoshop the designs I drew so many years ago. I am certainly no engineer or graphic designer, but quite frankly, I always thought that the designs held up pretty well to scrutiny, with perhaps the exception of the last movie-era ship shown in the thread (1564-A). [QUOTE]Originally posted by Capt.Blair245: [qb] For the Horizon, you should just put the dual launchers inside the lower part of the saucer. when you put it on top it reminds om of the TOS concept of putting the torp launchers underneath the bridge. One good phaser shot in that area, and the entire top saucer section goes boom...[/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, I wasn�t going for practicality. The idea was, indeed, to pay �homage� to the Franz Joseph concept of placing the torpedo tubes just under the bridge. As stated before, this is an idea I gleaned from Starship Design. Once again, thanks for all the comments. If I can ever muster the energy, I will try to photoshop additional views, but don�t hold your breath... [/QB][/QUOTE]
