Azel...

My apologies for waiting so long getting to ya on this one...  ( work related stuff again!)

.... bud as always ... one heck of a job !!  I think that the primary hull looks a bit "stubby" from the side ..  but other wise it is a "super job" for the man who we know as "super" !!

excellent !!!

Wonder if Mrs. Reeves and Jane Seymour would like to see this.... anyone got a contact address for either? I know they'd absolutely love it.

I'm not a big TNG/Post TNG fan any more but let me tell you what I have been thinking about this design:

I can see it as the USS Reeves and it rendered with the Earth below her and the sun at her back. The dedication plaque would read: "..faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive..."

Sister ships could have the names of the other actors who have played Superman and even Supergirl but the prototype of this class should be the creator of the man from Krypton (name escapes me at the moment) with the red 'S' instead of the starfleet emblem.

This is my odd way of saying: "Nice job Azel."

Superman was created in 1933 by
Writer: Jerry Siegel http://theages.superman.ws/Creators/siegelBio.php
and
Artist: Joe Shuster http://www.stta.nu/Creators/shusterBio.php

Clayton "Bud" Collyer - The voice of Superman for radio during the 1940's.And later for cartoons during the late 1960's

George Reeves - Superman on TV 1951,1953,1954-1957

Hope that helps

you know,  it's too bad you couldn't have taken the superman "diamond" and incorperated that as a  major design feature on the ship,  such as  a bridge.  Obviosuly it wouldn't look right on the above design, and I doubt you'd want to  redesign it (we don't need another titan...lol). Perhaps life pod hatches being that shape? Doesn't need to have the S on it too that'd look too cheezy, but life  pod hatches would be a nice touch. Some  of superman in the ship itself.

well the Escape pods on the Sovie are already shaped like that...so that can work as the ship is Sovie era-esq

That is the best looking post-TNG work to come out in a long time...

Worthy to bear the name, without a doubt.

This looks exactly like LordBiles Scorpian with texture alterations. Another design rip off

Never seen the ship you are refering to before...

Post it and I'm sure that credit will be given if it is due. People around here don't 'rip off' designs.

dont be such an arse, Atolm aka Azel has a few designs similar to this... but ill give you that, the resemblence is something that can be seen. going by your "logic" every fed ship is a rip off of the other.
