Does any one here remember some one showing Designs for TOS Era Excelsior starship I can't seem to find any drawings in vast Library of pictures but I thought some one had put some up at one time for Modeling purposes.

Atolm had made one from way back. I don't know where it went as I do not have a copy. You'd prolly be best off poking him for it.

Thanks FOAS I did a search in the WIP and Models section and found that Markyd was working on one Atheorhaven released one.
I'll check WZ forum to see if I can find Altom's there

I think I used to have the TOS Excelsior. I remember it was released, but not much of a fuss was made about it. It was released because it had been so long and it was too good of a mesh not to be released. I forgot when that was though.

I know over on BCC someone was making a TOS Excelsior. Actually, there were 2 people making them. One was recent, the other a few years old. Don't know what happened to either one.

That would would be atolm's

That's the same one I have. In fact, here are some renders. Mesh needs some updating to be honest. Wouldn't mind seeing someone do another TOS Excelsior.

Late to the party...

Yup, that was the one we did a long time back... and it could use a little updating.

Indeed..

The ship I refereed to earlier can be found here:
http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/58185-ascendence-class-tos-reimagined-excelsior.html

Now Both Cent and I thought that It's a bit too ST:XI style in places. But as we have 4 meshers willing to jump in. We can take Ideas we like and throw the rest away....
Also for those that don't want to trawl through over 30 pages..... And for probable future reference.

Great modeling on this one!!! It's a bit too curvy overall, I think. The best looking STXI design I've seen though, IMHO. Of course, considering I hate the STXI ships from the movie it's not too hard to make a better one from my point of view. LOL Still, it's really really nice. Plenty to work with there if someone wanted to do a truer TOS design.

Edit:

Maybe use some design aspects of I Mudd's Helena?

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2009, 11:32:06 pm »

CRAP!
I forgot that existed >.<

Magnum357 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 06, 2009, 04:22:52 pm »

I've seen that U.S.S. Helena model a while back aswell. It would have been a far better model concept for ST XI Enterprise ... oh well to late now.

Also, I like the TOS Excelcior model you guys are showing, along with the that "Acendance" model, but I still would change a few things on them. Just my opinon.

FoaS_XC · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2009, 10:00:31 pm »

What I would do with the design

I WOULD keep the JJ-style nacelles, but thats becuase of how im making X-Ships.

In FoaS-trek there is an involved lineage of design. There was the early early early stuff - ie: things from the Starfleet Museum, those led into Kelvin-esque and NX-esque ships. Those evolved into TOS ships. Then came the first definate generation of X-ships. When starfleet made its major overhaul after TOS, it took a few contractors to design a series of X-ships. The JJ-esque-style (for me) is going to be among them (by one designer), there were also things like Schtupp's monitor (which ultimately one the contract) thus giving you the TMP ships. Among those X-sihps would be the TOS excelsior, but the design was shelved.
After TMP, a second line of X-ships came out (these will be the X-ships from SFC). among them was the Excelsior, which was done by the same designer as the TOS excelsior. This time they won the contract over the designers (of the SFC X-ships), thus giving you the TMP excelsior, and even the Ambassador.

BTW: all the "-esques" (ie: jj-esque, NX-esque, Kelvin-esque) all have my own spin - as usual :-)

So which part of this model would you like me to build?

Furyofaseraph:- they are very good observations.

Magnum357 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2009, 04:26:04 am »

I thought you were going to shoot for the whole design??

joker · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2009, 05:43:20 am »

Really, I thought we where gonna build pieces together
