TOS Dreadnought

[Shino Tenshi]

Hey guys.

This design just crossed my mind so I started to model it out.... 
What do you think?

[FarShot]

Nice!  Neat concept.

[Billz]

So far, it's not bad.

I can't imagine it having TOS nacelles on it though. I know it is intended as a TOS ship but it mihgt have more appeal if you put TMP nacelles on it instead of putting the starndard TOS nacelles.

I agree with the same general comment.  This doesn't feel like it would be in the TOS era, and might look better with TMP like nacelles.

However, then again, you could always say that the ship was built at the time where TOS and TMP meet.  Give her a few TMP features, including nacelles, and you could pull it off.

[FarShot]

Not all TOS nacelles have to look like Connie nacelles.  Why don't you try something Excelsior like with a TOS flair?

[Shino Tenshi]

I actually had some kind of "TOS-ish" Sovy nacelles in mind. 

[King Class Scout]

take a couple ideas from Wiley's Phase 2 enterprise, as well.  note that I said ideas.

[Dalek]

note that I said ideas.

I think Shino already got the idea.

VERY simple sketch of what I had in mind:



I'm not good at drawing... xD

[Darkthunder]

Revised version of your nacelle. Still quite a bit too much "TNG style", but definitely an improvement for a TOS-era ship.

[Shino Tenshi]

Well, I wantd to add 2 smaller bussards into one transparent housing.

[ACES_HIGH]

TOS era nacelles should be very simple shapes, remember a TNG style nacelle is supposed to be like two of them put together.  I would round it off more and maybe flip it upside down, or go with a more linear TMP style.

Actually I like where KCS is going, it would look good with Phase II nacelles.

[Shino Tenshi]

Alright folks.
Update time!
 

Those nacelles are a tad too small, don't you think?

[Dalek]

Yeah, just a bit. Make them bigger!

[Shadowknight1]

Yeah, just a bit. Make them bigger!

Yeah, what he said. 

[FarShot]

Slightly thicker, but much longer.  They need to have a dangly feel.

[mckinneyc]

I'd just lengthen them. They look good otherwise.

[captain_obvious]

Slightly thicker, but much longer.  

he's right though!
