Barricade

Is it me, or is the new USS Franklin look -exceedingly- like the classic TOS Loknar class?

That isn't a condemnation, but an actual compliment. In that the movie crew is just a tad bit more in tune then we expected them to be, about some of the various designs that were referenced in secondary materials, but never made fully canon.

Possible scale based on possible set piece used for filming
Along side the TOS Enterprise

USS Franklin
Length 133 meters
Width 69 meters

And yes @barricade it dose resemble the Lonknar class. Tho not sure what sorta secondary/engineering hull this might have
as with the TOS or TMP area of Locknar produce different styles.
I don't like how there is no secondary hull with the TOS version and the TMP one is more interesting to me

But might be nice to see what others might have in mind with a design for a secondary hull

Looks good. The last image in this post may help you out with the hull: http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/01/new-star-trek-beyond-concept-art-reveals-new-starship/

It doesn't look to add much. Hopefully a deflector dish at least. Possibly a small shuttlebay.

Sarvek

Very nicely done. I am looking forward to the movie. This is a familiar design that I have seen before in FASA and in fan designs.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of headroom for the decks, I wonder what the reasoning was for having a concave saucer top? Not much room for personnel in the saucer rim, are they just bunkrooms?

Well the scale was just quick estimate. It could be between the 133 meters Length, or scale the outer part of the saucer to match the high of the NX-01. Would put the length around 225m which oddly enough matches the length of the NX-01
And width would be around 117m, but also puts the main view screen/window at 3.6m in height compared to some thing like 2.2m on the smaller scale.
everything subject to change once more details are know about the ship and will make revisions

turtle

lower and rear hull design details with freedom
notes hanger is width 7m height 5m or if one wanted the NX-01 scale of 225m, the hanger end up being width 11m
height 9m

Any one know the dimensions of the kelvin type shuttle?

Hmm.. crescent wrenches.

The non-aztec patterns seem to be Voderberg tilings of some kind:

Plus these people can'T really use their windows the way we see other people use them (they're too low)....

JWWright

I like the shuttlepod-esque impulse engines, is that view from a model reference?

Are those shuttlebay clamshell doors between them?

Well thanks to Qmx we have some good images of the Franklin, they're showing off their 1:350 scale ship at their booth during comic con, still early but do hope that someone will get a few photos form underneath the ship as well a close image form behind. but you can be sure that Ill be slowing getting this model done and may get it printed at
the same scale.

as well a newer enterprise as well.

At about 25 minutes into this video, there are orthos of the Franklin from all angles. This interview is with the designer of the Franklin itself.

Nice stuff. Really liking your Enterprise.

I know it might be a bit late, but I found some orthos online today and thought they might help? These come from an online interview with the ship's designer, Sean Hargreaves. Excellent job so far btw.

Help full yes, tho worth knowing that it is still the concept version as the one in the film is still slightly different.

Awesome. I just got out of this movie. I LOVE the Franklin.

Vortex5972

Great work. Cool little ship.

turtle

So the model is almost done just a few things left to model most getting the windows in the right spot. and doing some thing with the torpedo tubs on the lower hull just needs some detail
up the poly count then some quick texture work.

Hunter G

Great work. I love little ships. I wish we could've seen more of this one.

evil_genius_180

Nice job on the plaque. The ship is looking fantastic so far too.

I saw the movie last week and really enjoyed it. I love the Franklin, it's a really sweet design.
