Hacked-together TOS ships?!?! All we ever saw on screen were Constitution-class ships. Do you mean you're doing some of the Franz Joseph ships from the Starfleet Technical Manual?!?!?! That would make much hapiness around here.

Note the key phrases "a Trek model" and "what ship" - note lack of plural there - so waht does someone do? Post an entire fucking list. And anytime someone asks a question like this it's the same. Jesus wept, it's no wonder you couldn't elect a President, probably ticked/crossed/punched/drew lines to all the potential candidates. . .

Well given he probably already had the saucers from Jupiter Station, I don't think it's really hard to slightly modify them to make Ambassador saucers. All he then has to do is make the secondary hull and nacelles.

Yes. That's all.
Federation starship?
Personally, I would have to vote for one of Masao's pre-fed Earth ships. I would love to see one of those matched up alongside the E-D or something similiarly familiar.

New Orleans would be my top choice but I'd also like to see more of the Centaur.
Mojo: Are you talking about the Defiant model made for "The Changing Face of Evil" or yet another new one? I thought the one from TCFoE was already pretty darn good.

Actually, one of the guys at Foundation made an Ambassador class ship from scratch, without ever seeing the Jupiter station.
As a matter of fact, I never even SAW the Jupiter space station until yesterday, when I was poking around online and found a few pictures of it. Very cool! I hope to include it in the book.
I hadn't seen ANY CG Defiant model that was any good. One was made for "Sacrafice of Angels" and Hutzel had his own made later on, but (in my opinion) neither were even close to the studio model. The new one I commissioned is one of the best CG models I have ever seen. You can stare at it with a magnifying glass and even *I* can't tell it's CG!
If there was a place I could show you a test render, I'd be happy to.
And yes, I have a few FJ ships built and rendered.
Oh, hot off the press: An Oberth class vessel has just been completed. It looks great and you should see a lot of it in the book. It's currently named USS PEGASUS, so make of that what you will :-)
Come to the GALLIFREY con in LA in February and you can see all!

Hey Mojo, where do you buy the tickets for the Gallifrey this Feb? My birthday is coming up and I might go as a birthday present to myself.
Oh, and did you get my private message?

Well, whoever dropped the model and whoever decided to keep the thing afterwards should be both punished. I have a lot of time before school and an assortment of sex toys that I've been dying to try...
I'd like to see the Voyager prototype be made into a CGI, perhaps to be a class never before seen only heard.
