Author Topic: Defiant prototype model. Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Here's pics of my "Valiant" class starship, the USS Hornet. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p...7830&uid=657989 I added a few Defiant decals to her and gave her the style of registry shown on the concept art this design is from. I've got three more in the works- the Trojan, Hoplite and Seattle. Those should be completed by tomorrow! Ravenstar Studios makes/sells these lil' bueaties in a two-pack: the model is a one-piece, so it's just a matter of some minor clean up and then on to (the fun part) painting... I think the sketch design is faithfully reproduced. Your opinions? -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged David Sands Active Member Member # 132 posted                       Frankly, I think I like this better than the Defiant itself! I like the contrast between the panelling. Gives what is a flat design (for the Trek universe) more depth. -------------------- "Warfare is the greatest affair of state, the basis of life and death, the Tao to survivial or extinction.

I would've loved to have seen this version on screen. -------------------- "Nu ani anqueatas" Aban's Illustration The Official Website of Shannon McRandle Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Yeah...me too. Here's the concept art this stems from. I'd ;ike to see a model of this chunky version as well, but this is my favorite unrealized Trek design. Well....fuck. None of the directly linked images work! Just go look under the "concept art" section and look at the stuff on "designing the Defiant". -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Aban Rune Former ascended being Member # 226 posted                       The scale figure next to the concept art of the one you did makes the ship look really tiny. It wouldn't be a whole lot bigger than a runabout at that scale. I'm glad they bumped up the scale a tad. -------------------- "Nu ani anqueatas" Aban's Illustration The Official Website of Shannon McRandle Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       Yeah- the size of the model is about 2/3 that of a Defiant (probably has a crew of 30 or so, I'd guess). -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Bernd Guy from Old Europe Member # 6 posted                       I don't like this better than the Defiant. But it's a cute model. -------------------- Bernd Schneider Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Ravenstar Studios Junior Member Member # 1120 posted                       I've always like this version of the defiant better that the one on DS9 . The wing like structure seems to fit , but now it can be cousin of the defiant. -------------------- Chris Lynch www.Ravenstarstudios.com Registered: Sep 2003  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       I'll post new pics of the model tomorrow: I added a couple of decals to make the model match the sketch it's based on perfectly. Mainly just the circular docking thingie on the "nose" and some vents(?) on the raised part of the outer wings/nacelles. I still have three more to paint up though! -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Bones McCoy Member Member # 1480 posted                       Hey Jason... can I be the captian of one of your ships? -------------------- "Brave men are vertebrates: they have their softness on the outside, and their toughness in the middle" -Lewis Carrol Registered: Jan 2005  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches.
