I usually don't post much...just like to see the artist do their thing...but holy god that is insane work man. I was not too into the design until you started doing this model. Hats off to a stunning piece of work.
As the son of a 1st generation trekkie, I can say without a doubt that this is some of the finest renderings of the remixed Starship Enterprise that I have ever seen. Trust me, I've been scowering the net for great images through my 1st days on the Internet and all the books I have collected in my 25 years as a Star Trek fan.
I now have a 3 year old son, who never saw the JJ Abrams version of the Starship Enterprise. The only thing he's seen is the Star Trek: Remastered and Original Series, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise. However, when I put your 1st completed desktop image on my desktop on my Windows 7 Beta 1 machine, my son said this.
"Daddy, that's the Starship Enterprise."
You nailed it. Very awesome. I would love to add a blog post about your work to MySpace. Do you have a specific link or image that would be okay as long as I give you full credit? This has to be shared with other Star Trek fans.
My take on some of the thread hijacking debate:
About the JJ Abrams reboot. Cannonists vs New Blood, tradition versus the new. All of the answers can be found in the philosophy of Star Trek. In James Kirk's own words....
"Risk... Risk is our business. That's what this starship is all about. That's why we're aboard her."
"Now Mr. Scott! Young minds, fresh ideas. Be tolerant."
And of course, in Jim Kirk's final log entry.
"Captain's Log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before."
Star Trek was never about being traditional or conservative. Everything on the original series was done on the fly. It was embracing new ideas, challenging traditionalist ideas, embracing the taboo, and opening the minds to the unlimited possibilities of existence.
As Q would said, "If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid."
Does who have a logo/patch? Well, it's a version of the Enterprise, and in the TOS era the Enterprise badge was the "arrowhead." The U.S.S. Exeter logo was a rectangle, the Constellation was a pretzel-shaped thing, the Starfleet logo was a boomerang...is that was you were asking?
IAâm currently working on the animation of the E with the Kelvin, I hope to have that done by the end of march. As soon as I have a clip thatAâs worth looking at IAâll give you a sneak-peak

Public release like the Kelvin perhaps?
You took a design that a lot of folks really questioned, made it your own and, most importantly, made it WORK.
Nice job!
I mean, it's even spiffy! :thumb:
Thanks once again, Tobias !!!
Those pylons are awful. and the engines are so HUGE - and the thing was built on Earth?
the secondary hull looks silly, the neck is WAY massive, the topredo tube is a mere nipple!
BUT! BUT!
Hats off to Tobias for the hard labour, blurry eyes, and heart put into this - there has been a lot of work done to this. :thumb:
Respect sir!! DAMN GOOD WORK!!!
Why do I feel that they may take the P with this ship in the film?:mad:
Tobias your Enterprise is much better than anything I've seen anywhere on this website. Well done, bravo.
First post here and I've got to say Tobias YOU ROCK!!!!!!
These wallpapers are outstanding. I've saved them all! The Enterpise and the Nebula are my new background. DUDE, KEEP IT UP!!!!!

Great job Tobias.
The Institute of Food Technologists?!? Well hey, everyone needs a hobby I guess...
:thumb:Agreed... I'll do up some very cool CGI schematics for her!
Does she have a logo/patch?

Let's just say that it's a particular stand on the, er, spirited debate over various Trek series, films, books, etc. and leave it at that.
Now lets get back to the topic at hand- this awesome mesh.

I made some orthos, so here they are...
