The sketch was dated late 1994, so that couldn't be it. The date suggests it was for an episode in the second half of the third season, which is pretty soon after they introduced Defiant in the first place. A quick look at the episode guide suggests that the episode is either "The Die is Cast", where Sisko and company head to rescue Odo from the destructing Tal Shiar / Obsidian Order fleet, or the finale "The Adversary" where a newly minted Captain Sisko chases a founder around his ship. The sketch suggests additional doodads that would be part of the ship working out her kinks, but I guess THAT particular model upgrade was judged unnecessary so early on. Possibly fit for the Sao Paolo, but still...

Ok, nice pic, so what is it? the original from the artist or some fan-creation? And if original, do you have more?

1. It's the original ship from the opening credits of ENT.
2. No, I don't have any more pics.

Too bad. I would like to see more official orthos of the ships from "Enterprise".
We have so little, what do we have? 1. That top-side view of several ships, including the romulan BoP, klingon tanker(?) andorian 2. Two starfleet ships, what do we call them? starfleet delta and Intrepid?
What else? Isn't this pitiful compared to the other star trek shows? And yes, I know, they ran longer, books were published, magazines ran articles...

The Enterprise herself has also been shown in really big orthos. It's not quite as much as other series, but they've been off the air for longer, so there's been more time for it all to add up. And a lot more people get access to the physical models than the CGI ones, so there are bound to be more reference pics online.

re Defiant: I like the model as is just fine, sure, but it would kind of be nice, from certain points of view, if there were actual details on it that matched up to where the weapons seemed to come from.

Woo - I can't believe I haven't seen this before. A while back I got out a huge sheet of paper and tried extrapolating the front end of that ship. It actually looked like this!! Sweet!
I was going to scan it in for here, but it was accidently thrown out before I got around to it.

MattC, I now seem to recall that the Emmette pic was originally yours. I'm sorry I didn't ask permission to post it, but I couldn't remember where I got it from. Do you want me to remove it?
