Nice ships, eh? Too bad we still can't see the underside of the Sabre and Steamrunner...

Holy Crap! That's awesome! You can see a deflector on the Saber though...

359: Not really. You can see the Steamrunner's deflector, but not the Sabre's...

Even though that is very pretty... it STILL looks fake!?! What seasons of DS9 did DM do? Who did this picture... what is it about CGI and reflected light - it just looks SO fake... I guess the more detail/time = realism? I guess it was just for the fun of it so it wasn't to be... worked on too long.
Nice though.
P.S. See Margret Clark - there is nothing too hard about commissioning new artwork for your releases... I personally wont buy any calendar but the new starships one - it looks like the only 2001 calendar with new artwork... I just bought the 2000 TNG and TOS calendars for $2 each... lucky I only paid $4 all up - cause there was NOTHING new in them AT ALL!

P.P.S. That poster DOES look lovely though - I'd love it up in my room, we haven't had any new Trek posters for a LONG time.

P.P.P.S. here I fixed up the gamma on the picture - and you can see a bit more detail...
enjoy:

Okay, now you can see the Sabre's deflector... *L*
And I think the reason it doesn't necessarily look "real" is that it isn't supposed to. It's supposed to look like a poster.

The Sabre's deflector was already visible in one scene in FC, IIRC the one where a Saber flies straight towards the Enterprise viewscreen and is destroyed. I only think it should be blue.

Well, I'm guessing that the Sabre deflector is akin to the Sovereign and Galaxy deflectors - more gold than blue... sometimes though, we've seen the E-D deflector very blue... and the Akira's deflector looks more akin to the Excelsior deflector?
