Fanmade Trek Ships

[MR_7]

Hello all

I'm starting this thread for anyone who'd like to show off there own designs of Trek ships, and hopefully we might be able to pull all our ideas together to come up with some great fanmade designs. If i can grasp modeling aswell i might build some 

Don't mind how its done as long as there is some good input and plenty of designs.

I'll start off with this one....

[Matt]

do you have a side view?

Rather than re-post, I'll just link this.

Maybe I'll make something new.

[Matt]

Well here is my design, the Mantis class refit

Well here is my design, the Mantis class refit

Kaww blimey thats nice, I can see a lethal first volley from that

do you have a side view?

And yeah it took a while but i have completed the side view. I'm not happy with some bits, and i still have to do the front back and bottom view. And i've changed bits form the first.

i'll decide the name when i'm done

EDIT: I'm not sure to have the nacelles above or below the saucer ( last image )

[Josh]

A kinda USS Premonition B

Was a *joint venture* design, its my model though.

@MR_7: Could we have a pic, if it's not to much trouble, with the ships nacelles parallel to the secondary hull, if I could be really cheeky 

[MajorD]

EDIT: I'm not sure to have the nacelles above or below the saucer ( last image )

Above, but if you go below I think they should be just barely below the saucer rather than way down.

ahhh ST Armada memories. I've been wondering if someone would make an updated version Although why is the registry modelled in? nice one

The nacelles are parrellel to the secondary hull  , do you mean level with the secondary hull.

Above, but if you go below I think they should be just barely below the saucer rather than way down.

yeah i did that straight after i posted it lol, only by abit. I've put it on this attachment

Right this one is full of variants and possible continuing points. And just so you know these are just very basic layouts. After i have composed all views i'll start adding details ...a texturing of sort.

Forgive my use of colour...i love colour

Thats it, I knew parallel didnt seem the right word, if it's not to much trouble?

[MajorD]

I like B and D. I don't think Voyager style nacelle placement will look balanced.

[Aresius]

I like version D quite much actually.

[MR_7]

No trouble at all, just some quick changes....

So with that i throw F into the mix, Gave the nacelles abit of a rotate aswell

A few of my ones not shown publicly ever so far (note: these aren't for excal itself):

...and another one. This was never released publicly. The Cousteau is a ship that was spread around the cream of Trek modders as a "thank you" and to learn from:

[11001001]

I like it MR_7, the only thing is people I think would see it as to similar to the intrepid class, so I go with the top-bottom nacelle variant. Or the two nacelle above saucer variant.

[Matt]

Also I like to add my design is not for Excal

I love that klingon concept ship

I like it MR_7, the only thing is people I think would see it as to similar to the intrepid class, so I go with the top-bottom nacelle variant. Or the two nacelle above saucer variant.

well i'm gonna throw together all of them and see from there. Heres the first Front view. I used the above nacelle variant as it looks better than the below

[MajorD]

That throat conduit on the Klingon ship is really interesting.

[MR_7]

Started on the details

Any pointers on what would make it look better?
