I looked at something similar. I still don't know where this is from but I couldn't find a place on the hull that big for the docking color to emerge from. There seems to be a sensor array down the middle of the nose. But this is a pretty good find because if scaled right he could be adapted to work at the very tip of the nose. This will go well with the archive. Thank you sir.

I can't help but notice though that you can clearly see the rim of the DS9 airlock hatch in that shot, they didn't bother to actually connect the ship to the airlock. If you look carefully, the ship isn't even lined up straight with the docking bay. personally, I prefer the canon four deck interpretation.

Only because of the MSD but that doesn't match the actual model and its windows ACES...

This shot of the mirror Defiant shows something interesting.

It closely matches my proposed airlock for the Defiant.

Yeah...ya know...I like it when an artist can show a designer another way to do things. That's a great idea Farshot I was also thinking of a rising panel or a slide-in panel.

Thing about that...the MESS HALL is where the supposed "Warhead Cockpit" is. Seems stupid, but it is where it is. Don't believe me? Watch "Starship Down".

Tobias has finished his Defiant. Mostly very Good. However I'm convinced he did not make the appropriate correction to deck one and it is too fat. Otherwise it's stunning

He got the angle of the nose wrong too. When looking up at Defiant it has the feeling of it looking down at you.
Farshot may not have gotten this amount of detail...but his is more Defiant than Tobias currently as a far low poly mesh.

shadow, i think that you think about this :

there are two different versions on the web, the most edited are with the mess...

saquist, pictures are stunning.

I don't know where Sean Tourangeau got his Terran Empire Logo but the Yellow Black Earth with the Sword is not it.

The Mirror Defiant is the normal Defiant mostly stripped down of it's red stripes, Registry and name and then using the Terran Logo as seen on Jenifer Sisko (mirror). The logo Here is black and silver. The Model sported a silver and violet blue logo in these locations.

I thought Sean Tourangeau's "mirror" ships are of his own designed "Dark Mirror" universe, and not the canon Mirror Universe that we know?

Actually I think the Yellow Black Earth came from the ENT Episode "In a Mirror Darkly"
In TOS "Mirror, Mirror" It was a (Blue) Uni- colour Earth + Sword
The Logo on Jenifer Sisko is from the Terran Slave Rebelion against the Klingon Cardassian Alliance.

On another Note: I've never Seen that the Mirror Defiant used the appropriate Markings.
Looks like i was too distracted by Worfs Giant NeghVar.

Tobias Richter's Defiant fly-by. Gotta say, as much as I love some of his stuff, he missed the mark quite a bit on this ship. It's too fat and the warp engines are angled completely wrong.

Agreed, there is something very off about it.

I've been thinking of doing this for a while but sketchup is making it difficult. It seems to start breaking up polygons when you cut into round surface I don't know how I'll get around it but this is the detail so far.

My hope is to put enough detail together to just array one feature to all four sides and the outter wall may be divided into 8 or 12 parts.
I guess we'll see. This will take awhile.

Saquist · « **Reply #136 on:** August 02, 2013, 07:55:22 PM »

Yes, I'm still on it...

I've been learning a new program for drafting with parametric modeling abilities. It's easier in someways than Sketchup...or easier to correct mistakes.
This is Inventor by Autodesk.

I have to say this was difficult to create the mutiface sides of the ships main hull.
