It's been awhile since I've been active on these forums. I thought I would get back in the game. I may return to my
INTERCEPTOR CLASS and
ATLANTIS CLASS sometime in the near future. I thought I would start with something simple, like a shuttlecraft/runabout.
Here she is, the
AVATAR CLASS runabout!
Just some brief history about the design. She is suppose to be the captain's gig attached to my
ATLANTIS CLASS explorer. The
Avatar is larger that a shuttle, but somewhat smaller than a
DANUBE CLASS runabout.
Fictionally, she is a combined efforted form the R&D department at
WAYNE ENTERPRISES, and
STARK INDUSTRIES. WAYNE ENTERPRISES came up the with design of the vessel. While STARK INDUSTRIES designed the Avatar's warp and impulse systems. As well as here weapon and sensor systems.

Narsil nice to have you back. I think this is one you started back before you went offline? It looks decidedly familiar...
I wanted the design to be sleek, but also be bulkier than your standard Starfleet shuttlecraft. I wanted a "tough little ship".
I have added some more detailing to the dorsal view. Got a little more to do than I will started on the other views.

If only the Delta Flyer would've looked like this.
Thank you Starscream. Yes, I had posted an early design of the Avatar in my ATLANTIS CLASS thread.
I was afraid of that. Could you please post images of your model so I can make the corrections to my imimages. Thank you for taking the time to try and model my design. : )

You've really thought this out well. I'm digging it. The proportions so far seem balanced, and I'm loving the detailing.
The design is very good. I would prefer if it was a little more elongated. It seems cardassian to me.
I haven't had much time to work on this as I would like to. Work and life in general have kept me busy. Just added some more detailing. Been playing around with phaser placement. Please let me know if you guys have any other suggestions. Hope to get to do more this coming week. Cheers.
