Why does TMP and Romulan also seem to translate to chunky and awkward?

I think the chunkyness might be because it's not textured completely and lo poly. The wings egzagerate the parts not textured. I think it looks great. It wouldn't be a large ship anyways. 390m would probably be the upper end. The one thing I would change is the ancelles however. the wings sould attach to the top and bottom of the nacelle so it looks like it is clamped between them, right now it looks like a slightly oversized nacelle is attached to the ends which looks a little corny. The DV nacelle styling should be preserved as much as possible, imho. Could be used as a scale base...D7 engine matches this one's engine. It would make sense to have engines from a proven design or something absed on it on romulan vessels of tmp anyways.

yes your right the nacelles should go more to the inner to make it look that they are clamped between the top and bottom part of the secondary hull

I like it! SF2's suggestions sound good, too. I understand wanting to stick with the original design though. I'm looking forward to getting it when it's available. Your stuff always runs really well in game and looks good, man.

 ;D Looks Much better than I thought it would. Kind of like the post-TNG Kerchan meets TMP era.

Outstanding Terradyhne! Yet another Romulan to drool over.

I agree.  It's a well balanced design given the race, era, and class.  Given the TOS Rom BOP, one might suspect a ship like Terra's to look something like this.

Very nice. I would only use the bird pattern on the bottom though and use a different texture for the other 3 wing surfaces. I like the Klingonish nacelles too. Still has the Klingo-Romulan tech exchange look from TOS. This would, IMO, make a great design to supplant the "3rd" series SFB firehawk design (of course, we'd need the rest of the hull-classes ;)).
