That is truly kick ass

What era is that?

I love the overall shape, love the bird, but the porthole windows makes it look dated like TOS? The wings and nacels have a TMP or later vibe. That's just my impression.

LOL Thanks mate, I don't sell them...as I only make them on occasion, or am really in the mood...but most of the time I will just give them away as a gift to persons I know would appreciate them, rather than charge a price.

The ship is definately designed as for TOS... But possibly a late TOS era ship. I really just wanted to re-invent the TOS BoP for something that could be used in a JJverse

Groovy... How you going to seal the edges to smooth them out... if you choose to.

The ship is really just an elaborate maquette I used to help flesh out the idea a bit more... Although of I were, i would just use some wood putty, or just use elmer's glue.

Someone's been recycling. Wasn't the original single nacelle version of this the osprey or something...There's a ship where the pylons go up to a single nacelle and close completely over the top of the ship...I assume that's what this is a continuation of?

Roychipoqua_Mace · « **Reply #11 on:** April 26, 2009, 08:39:31 pm »

This is awesome work! It's neat how you got all the curves in there.

Have you tried matte board? The stuff might be stiff enough, but it isn't corrugated, just solid material.

In Klingon Academy it was called the Gladius-class if I recall, and it was in SFC as the later Rom frigates. That design was always cool, it could have easily fit into TOS.

Really really nice. I like the bird!

Must resist desire to 3D that...

I likes!

Something eles you can look at in future is plasty card. Also known as polystirene card it comes in alot of thickness and shapes. Its used by archatechs and effects people for making physical models and by tabel top gamers for the same purpose. The coustom Pylons on the New Orleans, Cheyenne, and Springfield models made for the Wolf 359 graveyard used this stuff.

Atolm-Rising · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:41:31 pm »

Thanks mates
The main reason I use fine corrugated cardboard is because it is lightweight and strong(used with the ribbing directioned accordingly)

and its CHEAP lol
