Its been a while since i last posted anything, but i have finally found some inspiration. Have decided to do retro version of a star trek ship, not sure which yet.
By Retro i do no t mean TOS or anything like that but rather like a 1950s Cadillac, with fishtails and lots of chrome.
Please see below of my attempt at the nacelle and Pylon arm. i did this in hot rod red and silver.
Please come with ideas and criticisms

Hope to see the ship complete soon !
Cheers, Stephan
Found you in my referral logs! There is a larger view at my DeviantArt page, http://mattwileyart.deviantart.com/art/Constitution-Luxury-Class-BIG-150635527
Good luck on your model!
My brother is working on a playable version of my ship for Star Trek Bridge Commander. So that'll be fun.
Flew even--not far though...
From the initial renders, this should be on sweet ride...
Lee????
Anyway thanks for the great support, really excited about his one, hopefully will finish it too.
Severus & mattwileyart thanks for the links exactly what i was thinking, loved what you did with the cockpit.
Looks good, Bemeup probably was a bit confused because I sent him the link to your project. I did a 2d drawing along time ago of the Retroprise as a joke on his boards. Keep up the good work this should be sweet.
Anyway, looking forward to more to the next update 'cause I love this stuff!
I had an idea for the saucer: you know how the Excelsior has a sort of "shelf" where the impulse engines stick out and the bridge sits on top of it? Maybe you could do something like that, but make the impulse engines look like the back of a big 50's car:

Just throwing it out there. Either way, a great start, and I'm looking forwars to your next update.
And by the way i would be very happy if others wanted to take a stab at this genre too.
*thumbs up*
@ Walkyrje - as i was only doing a test i did not save back copies, and the thought of fixing it feels like a nightmare, but i will take a satab at it again a little bit later.
The only things I'd suggest is more chrome on the nacelles, and a hood ornament for the saucer.
wait for more infos and pictures.
which program you are work?
trekki
I am using cinema 4d, and i promis more to come.
I agree needs more chrome and details, all in good time
You've done a great job imagineering this design.
