Some crude ART for Endeavour
« on: February 28, 2007, 10:35:20 pm »
You have all seen the bridge module design Endeavour was built with. First is the modified version after my Stardate of 9706.

Next is the Engine Room I mutilated a few years back before I had a PC. I copied a page from 'Mr. Scott's guide to the Enterprise' and then white-outed and modified certain goodies. I've since cleaned it a bit with Paint, though it still looks kinda crappy...

Thrid is the ship's dedication plaque. It is a gift to me from a friend here on Dyna, Mr. Scottish Andy. And I think you much, Andy!

Lastly is the cut away of the Endeavour herself. I put some work in on that one while watching this sunday's Nascar race. I had all my Excelsior-Class models out for reference, the Star Trek Encyclopedia and a to-scale model of the 1701-A for reference and comparison. What came about is a 21-deck version of the ship (Excelsior really seems no taller than the Conny-TMP era) I'm very happy with how it came out.

Hope y'all enjoy.

Nice work.  You already know what I think of the cutaway (it's still about perfect).  The new bridge is cool...I like the lack of a door between the ready/briefing room and the rest of the bridge.

Your drawing skills are much better than mine, Guv. I like your bridge and I absolutely love that cutaway. That must have been some piece of work. ;)

Well, a Nascar race is 3-4 hours long, so I guess that's how long it took.

I almost din't post the engine room because of its crude looks, but decided to do so anyway. I imagine a TNG warp core since that's what you see in the Ent-A engine room in ST VI and in the emergency door reflection aboard Excelsior. I also don't imaging the Endeavour's engine room as being nearly as antiseptic as the TMP example. I have her with grey and black coloring, but with darker hues. If anyone cares.

The original Endeavour bridge was just the Ent-B bridge with tactical replacing that free standing engineering console aft of the conn. Once Shiloah orders the bridge modified, then it takes on a shape more its own.

Anywho... Thank you for the replies. I'm glad my drawings are enjoyed.
