Hello Atolm-Rising,

I really like your ship design do you have any more? I would really like to build this for sfc if you are happy for me to have a go at it.

Does he have anymore? Oh, one or two...










...thousand. ;)

atolm-rising I hope you do not disagree with me posting these in here.

I have started to make this ship, but will not release without your permission.
Can I ask some questions regarding the design?

Era seems to be JJ / TMP is this correct, as it looks that way. But to me looks like "Movie" enterprise tech with a "kelvin" texture feel.
What where you thinking for weapon layout and type?

I am very happy with the model so far, thanks to markyd and zephram for the rendering advice.

I was reading the comments regarding the bridge needing more detail, so I have tried to incorpirate that into the model. An observation deck and possibly a shuttle bay, but that would depend on the scale and I will wait to hear from atolm-rising.

I decided to make the impulses unique, and they now have a quad configuration, lower upper main bottom.

adds to the little details.

Now that's pretty damn cool.

Atolm has thousands of drawings scattered about the forums. I don't think even he has a consolidated collection of them all, lol. He's also pretty easy-going about his works. As far as I know he has a "Credit Me" policy. Of course, he'll step in and correct me if I am mistaken.

Thanks. have managed some more, and took some artistic licence on the mid centre neck / pylon. given it a jj feel to match the rest of the design of Atolm-rising's rockwell.

Thanks. I was looking at the warp engines today and noticed they did not seem to have any warp grills? I mean the blue glow area that eminates from the warp coil itself? Do you think it was upper mounted and is just not seen in the views availiable or it is just not seen and is under the hull panelling?

they are there, look on the nacelle towards the back and bottom of it, there should be six rectangles there - which should be what you are looking for

Man I go away for a few, and "bam!" there's a mesh on the boards. :D
Nice job thus far mate, I'm glad to see the shape works out in 3 dimensions the way I figured it would... in other words, you got it right!
