Wow. Wow. I've completely forgotten which ship that is. It's the Camelot isn't it...? The Camelot is a beaut Primey. I can't wait to see this alongside the USS Aeries.

The Aeries, what ship is that? Kidding Dalek, kidding. Looks very good Prime, love it so far. The Nacelles are yes, very Excaliburian (:P), I like them.

Thank Farshot for the design, all I'm doing is (poorly) bringing his vision into 3d. So far it's been a great exercise, I just keep learning more and more new tricks when I try to build the actual mesh (As opposed to the template I built as a reference that you see in the renders), and have to keep starting over. ;)

Here's a few more views.

Now that I see images from the back, I don't think the nacelles are big enough...the ship looks kinda weak.

Keep in mind it's a big ship, but I'll have a look at extending them to see how it fits.

I really like those nacelles!
I don't think they need to be bigger, seem to fit very well how they look atm.

Compared to the saucer, they look to small to me. One of the things I've noticed with a lot of Fed ships (not all of them but most) is that the nacelles are usually as long or longer than the saucer. The only exceptions that I see are the Defiant and Intrepid class. And for something of this size, it'll need really big guns engines to go far at a decent pace.

No no, I haven't done my own take on the Kelvin (yet, thank god), but with Baz' JJ-Verse Miranda, I figured why not try it the other way?

So here she is, in her retro glory, though still no match the the ship in the movie. Parts are from my latest Connie model, which I still need to get around to showing off at some point.

C&C requested as always :D


EDIT: I'm terrible at "Comfortable" renders.. I can't seem to get a similar colour layout like Max and Maya have when you render blank models with them. :(

That's pretty nifty, but are you going to do the semi-secondary hull just aft of the bridge?

Yes, I have an idea on how to TOS-ify it. This is just the parts cobbled together to see how it will look, saucer needs reworking, the spikes need to be redone (They didn't do well when I accidentally merge radius'd half of their verts together and turned them into god knows what), the Deck 1 extension and maybe one or two other things. She'll have a similar phaser layout but toned down to look TOS-ish.

EDIT: Just learned Stencilling (And damn, it seems so obvious now), maybe I'll do that plating style on a separate connie. :lol:

Can I suggest that you alter the bridge module at least so that it doesn't look like a Connie chopped up and put back together in a different way, lol.

You now, keep it TOS-styled but alter it slightly more then adding a visible warp grill so that it gets a little depth instead of being a Connie kitbash.

Small update, and a connie variant I started on, may use that bridge for the TOS Kelvin as a balance between eras.

EDIT: Added a version with the TMP bridge for comparison.

Right, tiny update time, please refer to image below. More soon to come as soon as I finish up a huge detail I haven't done yet.

The deflector, actually. The nacelle details are next, but I will probably stop working on this version for now as I've been working on them for almost 10 hours straight.

EDIT: A couple of images of the new models. I think these need to be the last versions or else I'll be rebuilding forever.
