Very good, Baz! That will be an awesome ship! Have a cookie

Only thing I notice is the main cutout in the saucer being too wide. Can't wait to see more!

Obviously this isn't to scale with the diagram of the enterprise, but it gives a good top down profile of the vengeance to work from;

Interestingly, it looks like the nacelles are angled towards each other at the rear a bit.

Phoenix Bondi · « **Reply #4909 on:** August 02, 2013, 08:41:09 AM »

oh yes oh yes!

baz1701 · « **Reply #4910 on:** August 02, 2013, 06:17:20 PM »

Heres some more.

Nice work! The only thing that irks me is the large gap in the saucer- it should be more triangular.

Concur with Wiley. I made a rough edit superimposing the top view with your model:

Holy hell thats quick work, are you pumped up on caffine?

Agreed on the cut out, and I think either the saucer is a little small or the nacelles are a little too far apart now (based on the top down diagram).

Edit: Actually it might be that the nacelles are too big in relation to the rest of the ship

Since I own the Hot Wheels USS Vengeance, here are some pics I took of it. It may not be as accurate as the QMX version, but they are good for general reference.

Thanks guys, I've revised the top now, still have a few things to fix mostly the bottom.

Looking at these, I'd say ignore the diagram I posted regarding the nacelles. they don't seem to correspond with the side on shots from the film. The models are closer I think.

Those little nubs you have running around the saucer don't seem to be on the qmx model

That was one the things I forgot to mention. Maybe Mattell/Hot Wheels got an earlier concept of the ship?

I like the updates on the saucer. Though there are a few things I would change, but they are minor enough not to notice. I would suggest adding detail to the upper-saucer's guns if you want to remain true to the Hot Wheels version.

The top "nubs" will be removed. I have rebuilt the underside, and I have yet to recut the triangles back in.
