FarShot's Thread

First off, I want to kill my brother.  Why?  He has my scanner and he's 180 miles away!  Arg!

Second, some of you may know that I wasn't too happy with DJ Curtis's Eclipse.  More specifically, I thought and think it is a fabulous design.  But I just don't like seeing the name Enterprise on it.  The same with the Excalibur-fantastic, but just doesn't seem right to have Enterprise on it.  If I were to redesign the Eclipse so, in my opinion, it would be a better fit for the name Enterprise, I would lose the triangular look of the saucer, to something more like this...

Need some help.  Anyone have good references of the transporter thingies on the hulls of starships?  You know, those yellow-ish rectangles.

Thanks.  That'll work excellently. ;)

Here's a pic of a low-poly NX class refit I'm working on.  I have a feeling my buffers might be slightly too large...

No, yellow just contrasts well, not to mention it's the general "Caution" colour. Buffers have a set of grille style ridges along them, and escape pods tend to have either black, red, or brown decals around the borders.

Modern trek line-ish art.  I plan to do the rest of the Enterprise lineage.

This is gorgeous!
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
