Hey, can you PM me?  I'm curious as to who did up your banner as well, and would like to contact them.  I have an idea that may be of benefit to the people he did them for.  (But I don't want to hijack the thread)..

By banner, do you mean signature?

If so, that'd be me.

If not, I apologize in advance  :)

In regards to the sketched plan of the design, it looks like it could whup some serious ass. Good job guys!  8)

Wow,  I can't believe  I haven't commented on this design before now.  This is a fantastic schematic of a fantastic design.  I really hope someone will tackle this model.  Great job Azel and Old Buzzard!!

Since I did all that work on the reeve and its now probably gone... this time i will post screenies of development... still early days on this mesh... loads more detail to be added... and the underside of the hull hasnt even been started... one question.. what is that funnel thingy supposed to be on the back? Huge impulse engine perhaps?

i think its an extension of the hull probably housing the warp and impules drives

just look at the defiant rear it will be similar to that like an engineering deck if you like

great job sir ...

BTW.. those twin thingies are twin "scoops" if ya will that house the deflector dishes and one q-torp launcher on the out side edge of each.  They resemble that of a P-51 Mustang (which is where I got the idea from) and taper toward the impuse engines.   I thought about one single .. but the bridge / command area was in the way.  This seemed to be a possible solution.



again ..  great job !!
