Another Romulan coming to life

Here is another of Atolm's designs that I am working on.  The textures are not finished but the model is coming along nicely.

Tried a modification to the rear of the ship.  Don't know if I will keep it or not.

I think it looks better without the whole. What time period does this ship belong too? Nacelles make it seem like an older ship.

I think it is a fantastic design, is this TMP era or TNG? It definitely shows his talent. I would say lose the hole, but I would like to hear what Atolm thinks.
Never let your ego think or act for you..........me.

I will let Atolm address the era question as I just modeled it based on the image he posted here a while back:

http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163370687.0.html

The hole was my idea.  I thought it looked rather plain so I was trying to see how it would look with a little twist.

Okay..okay...lost the hole.  :-[

How about some taper on the top with some curvature on the ventral side and limit the impulse engine to the top of the wings only?  Like this.

With those nacelles ........ it looks late TOS to TMP. And I'm not sure I like ANY sweep on the wings. But that's just me  ;)

I say downward definately...It has that subtle slope...you did it just right
The ship is actually supposed to be a TNG CA.  So i guess the Nacelles should be squared off some...or just more ovicular :/ :)

This model looks like it's coming along really well.  The necelles seem to indicate TMP era.  Keep up the good work.

Swept down, me thinks. Looks nice, man.
If Romulans aren't cowards, then why do they taste like chicken?
