[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Irishman: [qb] I actually prefer the original version you made. The wider nacelle-base (pardon the automobile pun) makes it seem less boxy to me.[/qb][/QUOTE][b]Irishman[/b]: Yeah for me too. That was the problem I was having with a lot of the fan proto-Mirandas I was seeing. Spreading the nacelles lends a sense of stability. A matter of personal preference I expect. I've decided to embrace my original impulse (warp?) and bear the inevitable "Wide-Load" jokes. Incidentally, that's a great trick with the deflector. I tried it out and... yeah I didn't like the oval deflector. It looked too, I dunno. It didn't fit. I've opted for shrinking it and raising the rollbar slightly. [b]Mars needs Women[/b]: As I mention, I did try the oval deflector, but I just couldn't get a shape I liked. Something about the three circles of the nacelles and the deflector seems..right. I am a hippie. I started thinking about your proto-Excelsior, but then my brain blew up trying to imagine where those shapes would come from in TOS. I guess I've never been an Excelsior fan. I would be curious to see someone try... [b]Masao[/b]: I nudged it up a bit. It does give a better weapons arc for those phasers. But I've opted for a tiny deflector in the full-size pod. It's an interesting idea, but I fear moving the bridge foreward betrays the TOS aesthetic I was going for. I'm curious to learn more of this Oberth "sensor pod". If memory serves, the Oberth was pretty symmetric. I do like me some asymmetry... [b]Jason[/b]: Are you talking about the shoehorn-looking thing on the aft saucer of the Constitution? I don't think it adds nearly as much visual interest (the real reason). And maybe because it's bridging up into the movies it's justified (the excuse). I promise not to light it with blue. (Unless lighting it with blue makes it look incredibly cool, in which case all bets are off.) [b]Captain Boh[/b]: I actually don't do the black outline in the in-progress vector version (shapes moving and changing too often and I get confused easily). I use the magic wand in Photoshop as I am putting the jpg together and just stroke the selection with 2 or 3 pixels of black. So, er, wider [i]IS[/i] better: [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/bx-preTMP_Miranda-05.jpg[/IMG] Please to be making the comments... [/QB][/QUOTE]
