What is with Earth Starships and Time Travel...look what showed up in the skies over Colorado Springs today.

Oh and I totally had the TOS episode Tomorrow is Yesterday in mind when I created this.

    I actually saw a physical model of the Titan at the Queen Mary a few years ago.

    That model was built by Gene Rizzardi based off of Ellery's Mesh and my schematics

    Very nice, and nice cover!

    rather cool but either the starship is VERY high up accounting for the difference in lighting compared to the aircraft( i can recognise the p 52 mustang and the b25 mitchell) or you need to make it slightly darker and less greyed out.

    She is higher up in the atmosphere I wanted her to be out of focus

    You can tell the ship is higher up because the planes appear to be larger, though we know that they could all fit inside the ship's shuttle bay with room to spare. That means there's considerable distance between them. Since it is so high up, atmospheric haze would account for what appears to be a difference in lighting.

    Nice work. The only thing I'd suggest is making the Titan a little grainier, to better match the planes. Then it will look less like a composite. Though, given that that's the only thing I could come up with nitpick wise, it's a great composition already. :)

    i'm not saying it's bad but having that of of focus greyed out look suggests it is really high up, it would have to be truly massive to be that high but still subtend such a large angle in the field of view.

    How much bigger is the ship than a 747?

    I see those go over all the time, and they a barely bigger than a dot.

    Well, a 747 is 70.6 meters long, the Titan is 454 meters long. It would also depend on exactly where in the atmosphere the Titan is. Remember, the Enterprise was very low in the atmosphere when it was flung back in time in Tomorrow is Yesterday.

    As luck would have it, a 747 did go over today, and I managed to get a picture of it.

    My human eyes were able to make out the wings and tail, unfortunately the best the camera on my phone could do is a dot, but at least the exhaust trail points to it!

    I like it, one of these days I'm going to finish texturing the Titan.
