If I go for the one as designed it looks from the side like its got a massive overbite with buck teeth. I've removed the cutout section on the underside and made the top cutout section slightly smaller and it looks not too bad now, I'll post a pic when I get home after work.

Yeah, I was afraid it might look a little bucktoothed. What if the lower protrusion is bent back, say 45 degrees from vertical?

It was at 45 degrees, but the fact that the sides were cut so far back made it stand out something chronic. Thats why I removed it entirely.

Ok, email me some low-res orthographic views and maybe a cross-section of the deflector as designed and as you have it now and I'll see if I can't cook up a solution.

Anyway, as for the compression coils, what do you think? Split ring, or double split?

That's a tough call.... I'd almost say the single split ring. Asymmetry is sexy.

I like the top version - it looks more like an experimental idea than a tried and tested one.

Agreed on the asymmetric coil. I love that bit of detail too.

You want the asymmetric one then? If I get a chance I'll do it tonight. No updates the past couple of days, been 'dahn sahf' on business.

Here you go, asymmetrical compression rings on the nacelles. Are they keepers or do we go with the previous versions?

They're keepers.

It may be 'dahn sahf' to you but it's still 'oop nauf' to me....ooharr. ;-)
Oh, watch out for chavs, they bite!

Oh, and I know it has nothing to do with the design, but I was bored.

I'll be flying down at Lyndhurst in the New Forest next week for a day or two, that sounded like "Ooh aar" country to my celtic ear'oles.

OK, we keep the nacelles with the altered compression coils. Tonight I'll work mainly on the deflector and begin cutting in the gross details on the saucer, nacelles and main body.

Just a note to say the deflector is being a biatch, the sodding thing doesn't want to cut in properly at all. Ah well, Rome wasn't built in a day.

"Lyndhurst"

"Ohh aar"

"Sodding"

"Deflector"

What strange, savage land do ye hail from, be ye using such alien tongue, ye temerous beastie?

But I like. Are you going to be detailing the lateral sensor array and other such greeblies?
