Man, didn't even catch that. (Yes it was the original Nordie, scaled up so I could measure it). I've been doing too much of this, I think.. probably should switch to writing up the data points.

No worries. I've been in that boat before. I have a page here of ships that I've drawn from the TOS-TOS Movie era, but I only drew the ones that I liked, heh. The only one I've done a top view for so far is the Santee, never did get started on others.

hmmm...from the top view, the ipulse engines look like a box of chinese food.
Maybe the ship's propelled by a fried rice drive. [Big Grin]

Hella cool work there Fabrux.

I'd like to see someone make a version of this with NX-01-style components: lots of bare metal and details, the NX style nacelles, etc.

God... gosh darn it. Ass Hat [Big Grin] .... I have to save that page, there's so much pics to clip...

*whips Fab for more overhead views* have you discussed the idea of adding some of those to Maso's stuff?

I hate that ship. I even hated it the way I really drew it. I went way overboard trying to show it was a kludgy retrofit of an older ship.

That's why

I had to

redesign

her.

I still don't like the bigass intercoolers. But the thing I had in mind from the beginning -- that as launched, this was a much-more streamlined, proto-shuttlecarrier -- is much clearer now. I called them cruisers because, you know, aircraft carriers were originally called cruisers (CV="cruiser, aviation").

You know, the secondary hull and nacelles would make a hell of a ship on its own. [Smile]

If you're using Firefox get the "DownThemAll" add-on. It is SWEET. It will download all the images in a couple of clicks.

Well, Aridas, they can't all be the swans, ya know? I think the rather bizzare look of the Nordenskjold is what sets her apart from a lot of the other fandom designs out there.

Looks really great with the exception of the giant christmas lights on at the saucer's edge.
In that scale they'd be over 10' across!

Make those smaller and she'd be nigh-perfect (at least in comparison with the source material). [Wink]

Nice but I'm not a fan of grid lines on the hull. IIRC there were never grid lines on the model while the show was on the air. They seem to have been added later.

They were penciled in for the production version, but very lightly (and under Jefferies' protest). They DO show up on some rare shots, but not very often. (This is why the FJ manual has them, actually.)

Granted, they're pretty dark here, though nowhere near as dark as the Smithsonian had them for several years.
