[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] [b]Mr. Neutron[/b]: That was an intentional departure. I wanted to imply that the rollbar and nacelle strut were the same structure, but I didn't feel TOS era ship design allowed for the trek boomerang shape that so beautifully connects the nacelle, main hull and phaser on the movie era Miranda. I suppose this is my way of uglying it up a bit so the movie era is a marked improvement. [b]MMoM[/b]: The main reason I'm reluctant to raise the bar is to retain the sleek(ish) lines. I want it to look fast. That being said, I can't make up my mind about the original proud bridge vs. my 'adjustment'. Not surprisingly, the original implies TOS more than the changed one (at the cost of the bridge jutting up into the path of the deflector.) Rear detail (and windows) will come later, promise. I want to establish that shape before doing too much detail work. [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/bX-preTMP_Miranda-shadows.jpg[/IMG] I played around with some different configurations taking your comments into consideration. The first silhouette is the the 3rd iteration of the design posted above. The second is what I would consider a pretty straight emulation of the Miranda shape using TOS parts and includes a much higher bar to accomodate the big deflector and tall bridge. The third is an attempt to bridge those two and is the incarnation towards which I'm currently leaning. The size of the deflector has been reduced, and the roll-bar raised somewhat. The nacelles have also been brought in a bit (that front view was putting me off my original "wider-is-better" arrangement.) Everyone's comments (well, save Tim's) have been very useful so far and I'd certainly appreciate more. [/QB][/QUOTE]
