[Phoenix Bondi]

ha ha ha, after fighting it out on my warp nacel's i think i got them how i want, finally onto the neck and head, shes nearly done boys

The hull lines on here, WILL be faded a bit more


Still love the rear end of my nacels my favorit bit me thinks


Ok comments and suggestion time again pls guys

[Shadowknight1]

Beyond fading the hull lines, I can't think of anything.

[Billz]

Excellent. I can't wait for this 'bird to take flight', lol.

Finally! Perfect TOS romulan nacelles. They look awesome. They would look equally as awesome on another well known TOS romulan ship *NUDGE* NUDGE* *WINK* *WINK* *HINT* *HINT*  8)

[Phoenix Bondi]

Sorry mate, im a bit simple, your have to be more percific, im quite dumb really


In good old fasion BLUE PETER STYLE, HERES ONE I MADE EARLYER!!!! lol

[Dalek]

AWESOME! I like the Battle Bird too!

[FarShot]

Both are da bomb.

However, I think you should make an alternate version with more Romulan looking nacelles.  These look too Federation-y, like many of the ships in TOS.
Yes, I know the First Federation's Fesarius and the Doomsday Machine.  Shut up.

[Dalek]

Those "are" romulan nacelles. http://images.google.co.uk/images?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4GGLD_enGB310&q=TOS%20Romulan%20Bird%20of%20Prey&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

[FarShot]

I know.  I'm saying an uncanon version that takes some artistic license.

[Dalek]

Ah. Saying "make them more Romulan" when they're striving for accuracy isn't the best thing to say. But how can you make TOS Nacelles look more Romulan? We've never really seen much in the way of TOS Romulan ships or even TMP ones. And you barely notice they have anything approaching nacelles in TNG-ST-VIII onwards. Just green curves and lights.

I love you.
 :shock:

Make those bussards a dark blue, wings a bit thinner and hollow out the back of the nacelles like in this pic (http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cloudster.com/sets%26vehicles/STromulanBirdOfPrey/TOS_Romulan_BOP_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cloudster.com/sets%26vehicles/STromulanBirdOfPrey/RomulanBirdOfPreyTop.htm&usg=__AiW3kUx7p41uKOqnDKmDYYFxLIg=&h=1181&w=1500&sz=263&hl=en&start=4&um=1&tbnid=29m7-KQOdMqx5M:&tbnh=118&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3DTOS%2BRomulan%2BBird%2Bof%2BPrey%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26rlz%3D1T4GGLD_enGB310%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1) and it'll be perfect.


And the Battle Bird 2.0 is awesome too.

That's why I asked him to make two versions.

No can do on them changes bro, coz the back is hollowed out like u asked, and also if u watch the show the buzzards are red not blue, i had some real tos inside help on this one, i can promise you she is the most cannon out there

[Billz]

and also if u watch the show the buzzards are red not blue,

I beg to differ.
http://www.cloudster.com/sets&vehicles/STromulanBirdOfPrey/RomulanBirdOfPreyTop.htm

Those are screenshots from the episode in question. Okay so they aren't high res, but on the ones with the bussards seen, they are clearly not red.

[Phaser]

Billz is right, the Romulan Bird of Prey did have blue bussard collectors.  Pale blue, but blue none the less. ;)

I like this ship!  While's it's mostly a fairly simple kitbash, it just seems to go together well.  Plus, your texturing job is pretty nice, especially the bird on the belly.

[Phoenix Bondi]

Kitbash?? where u get that idea from??

on another note, i can most deffently be 100% possative that the BOP has red buzzards well oringe or red one of the two, this comes from a sorce that know's TOS personal a 1 Derek Chester, and 2 look at all the other media, toys pictures models Red not blue red.

[Billz]

No. They are blue. I have seen the episode enough times to know that for sure.
And Derek Chester only wrote 4 games, 2 of which dont have a TOS romulan BOP. I don't remember whether Legacy or Tactical Assault have them, but if they did, then Derek Chester had nothing to do with how they were designed for those games meaning the games were wrong. We've seen enough evidence of that with the stock Legacy version of the Galaxy class.

[Phoenix Bondi]

We've seen enough evidence of that with the stock Legacy version of the Galaxy class.

lol not defending that one lol BUT it unfortunatly was best stock galaxy ever , now thats saying somthing lol

[Kirk]

Can we keep Legacy out of this and focus on the ship? I personally won't mind whether the bussards are blue or red.

[gdata]

C'mon....is it really that important what color these bussards are? If Phoenix says he wants them pink, he can make 'em pink. And you can still change the color easily yourself, when you download the mod.
