This Matt Jeffries design was never built because of budgetary reasons

gods I love that design. Would love to see it in game, or maybe a TMP variant...

Indeed. It's beautiful.

I can't believe they couldn't afford TOS designs, let's be realistic, not very complex and pretty plain, don't get me wrong they are beautiful I love the era but to say it couldn't be built is hardly an excuse. Those ships are smooth with hardly anything coming out the hull plating, just paint. Lol

Anyways hopes someone builds this. It's remarkable. And a TMP version would be wonderful.

At that time that design would have cost alot of $ due to the shape. Thats why they went with with the plywood and pvc works of what is canon now! + other crap.

3d world its already made in several forms gameing included. This model is High poly not worthy in sfc 1/2/op
Tmp what new engine or warps? Tmp just warps or total remake ?

Add the nose cone and bring in the warps, It is the a Tos Defiant. Moders and trek tech have failed on this issue to prove the truth! Show me wrong ?

Kind of reminds me of the "orbital shuttle"

Ahh,

I made one of these last year, typical of me I never finished it, I'll see if I can dig it out.

markyd · « **Reply #6 on:** January 17, 2014, 02:46:38 pm »

Sorry gents, no luck finding it (did find things long forgotten and unfinished though

)

I decided to start another a few days ago, its about 70% modelled out and will post a WIP later.

Adam,

No probs mate.. Here is the current new model. Once its done let me know if you want a copy prior to conversion. I can deliver from max 3.1 up to 2014 so you will be able to open my model

I think SRS did a nice job bringing the concept to look like a TOS shuttle both inside and out

Thanks Bernard and thanks for the links, I think when this is ready for .mod conversion I will simplify the top to match that model for poly reasons. Both will be released though.

Mesh is finished, Ill map and start the textures tonight. Ill keep them simple as in the version shown by MP.

3746 Polies, I think the mesh MP showed was 70,000+ polies when I checked.

I have also started work on this shuttle designed by Jason Lee if you guys would like a .mod for it.

Mapping complete
