Author Topic: Masao's ships from 1974 Vanguard Member Member # 1780 posted                       Nah, it's more that I'm coming off a VERY difficult week, and really want to do stuff purely for the hell of it. Besides, I find it fun to revisit childhood designs from time to time. Anyway, we'll start with the easier one, which I dubbed the 'Blue Tsunami', NCC-F1875 (based on the larger number given). I pictured her as a bulk freighter of a largely-abandoned designed, more of a hold-over from an older era than a true Constitution class contemporary. wide image is wide [ November 08, 2008, 07:24 PM: Message edited by: Fabrux ] -------------------- www.pixelsagas.com www.jaynz.info - The Record of Star Fleet Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged Vanguard Member Member # 1780 posted                       This is the second. I shrunk down the scale to match the bridge, but it's still a pretty big monster. In a not-remote coincidence, many of Masao's lines matched the Victoria I had made (as a TOS Sydney) a few months back, so I used her to finish the design up. This is a 'super-transport', with volumetrics several time larger than a Constitution. wide image is wide [ November 08, 2008, 07:25 PM: Message edited by: Fabrux ] -------------------- www.pixelsagas.com www.jaynz.info - The Record of Star Fleet Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Watch your image sizes, plz. some of us are still in the dark ages of 1280*1024 or lower. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Masao doesn't like you either Member # 232 posted                       Surprisingly, the second one isn't too bad, although it resembles an acromegalic shuttle craft. -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged The Ginger Beacon Senior Member Member # 1585 posted                       I quite like them both. Good work Vanguard. -------------------- I have plenty of experience in biology. I bought a Tamagotchi in 1998... And... it's still alive. Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged Vanguard Member Member # 1780 posted                       Masao: Well, the later was basically meshing your drawing with the Victory I had already done, which, in turn, was basically a TOS version of the Sydney class... which was, in turn, a redress of the ST V shuttle flipped upside down. So, yeah, it'll look like a shuttle on steroids pretty much no matter what, but it does keep to your lines in the bow, in particular, so what ya gonna do? -------------------- www.pixelsagas.com www.jaynz.info - The Record of Star Fleet Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       The second one has legs- of you lose those lower nacelles, it'd look like a TOS Stdney class. -------------------- Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering. -Aeschylus, Agamemnon Registered: Aug 2002  |  IP: Logged Vanguard Member Member # 1780 posted                       As I said, I had drawn this already.. which -is- a TOS Sydney class... clicky EDIT: *grumble grumble image size grumble grumble* [ November 20, 2008, 05:46 AM: Message edited by: Fabrux ] -------------------- www.pixelsagas.com www.jaynz.info - The Record of Star Fleet Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged Mars Needs Women Sexy Funmobile Member # 1505 posted                       Ah the Sydney, the only Trek design that I legitimately hate. Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged Vanguard Member Member # 1780 posted                       I wouldn't have minded the Syndney so much if it wasn't so blatantly rushed. A bit more work on the detailing, and a more elegant nacelle connection, and she would have been passable as a transport. Besides, it wasn't the WORST of DS9's Starship Atrocities.

Just because it was transport, didn't mean it had to look so clunky. As for the DS9 kitbashes, well...at least they flew by quickly Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged Jason Abbadon Rolls with the punches. Member # 882 posted                       I sorta like the Sydney: at least it wasn't another Oberth re-use! I mean fuck's sake, they reused that damn model too many times.... -------------------- 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                       Wow. Long time no visit. I saw these designs only now. The upper cargo ship looks like a blend of a Trek ship and the Wright Flyer. Anyway, I have seen much worse artwork from people who are much older and who should know much better. -------------------- Bernd Schneider Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged
