Came up with an idea for a ship. Though my idea was for a specific ship, I thought I shoud design the base template first. After I'm done, I will modify it into a few 'custom' versions.

Reminds me of the Republic Cruiser from Episode I.

Not bad though.

Do all TOS ships have to be so simplistic though - I'd like to see more TOS ships done with more detail - like we couldn't see it normally due to the quality of the film at the time

I mean the Enterprise still painted white - but maybe more detailing somehow. I don't know.

Maybe a faint aztec pattern UNDER the white paint.

thats how I see it. The original series was an approximation of what the ships actually looked like. Im almost positive the Enterprise had more then a few windows and features then it appeared to have.

Blegh. The original Enterprise was clean and un-cluttered, with all the important bits carefully placed on the inside of the hull. No need to hang your expensive equipment outside in cold space.

Yeah, all those toggle switches and blinking lights might have looked dorky otherwise. [Wink]

I think I might like the design better if the nacelle struts connected to the mail body rather than the upper part. I'd like to see this in 3-d though to see what you do with the forward area.

Looks kinda Romulan to me. But I'm glad you haven't abandoned this. Keep going!

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I like it. For some reason, it reminds of the Jupiter from err.. that classic sci-fi movie the name escapes me for the moment.
