Hi All
Just thought I'd show you some drawings I have been throwing around.
One is my take on the next Enterprise ...the Enterprise G. She is a mash of the Ent D and E.
Also is my idea for a Romulan Warbird. Tried to come up with a different variation to the Klingon BOP
positionable wing. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

also, the "bird of prey" wasnt even a klingon design, it originated as a Romulan design, i forget if they were allies or it was stolen tech.
btw, what was your inspiration for that one? it reminds me a lot of a toy my son used to have, but i just cant remember exactly what the thing looked like.
i'm also curious about how you plan to do engines? the wing pylons look more like weapons than warp nacelles, so i'm guessing some sort of engine like the original k-bops?
And yes the side vie is just an interior minus the nacelles and exterior shell. The shell is loosely based on the Rebel Transport. The wings close up yet still expose the main disruptor cannon on the nose. The nacelles are supposed to be like the talons of an eagle. They attach at the top and curve down so only the lower spike protrude below the protective shell.
I have to say though, it may be because of the perspective, but the start of the nacelle pylons on the secondary hull looks like a very weak spot.
TBH, the design of the G is weird. It seems TOO organic.
And the BoP is, while a nice merge between the TOS BoP and the Klingon B'Rel, somewhat odd looking.
Overall, I really, really like this Enterprise design. The organic aesthetic in the side view is beautiful, although it's odd how the same feel isn't there in the top view. That's not a bad thing in the lease, just a note. I'm not normally a fan of nacelles being spaced wider than the saucer is wide, but that's just personal preference and you've somehow made it a very appealing aspect of your design.
until more detail goes in, and it gets more "character" i couldnt really make any suggestions yet, aside from this one:
before you go any further, try to design it from the inside out. getting an idea of how it will work, and how to arrange things to fit will help you as you fill in details, and see "empty" spaces where you need to find something to fill them
Apparently I didn't fully understood the shape of the nacelles on the original drawing. They look amazing and are very original, the mix of Defiant-like plasma grills and a more traditional nacelle shape works really well, even if it doesn't make a lot of technical sense.
I've noticed something about a lot of future Trek designs. While the over-all look of many of them appear in Trek's future, the technology seems to be the same in that a lot of the same details of known devices and systems are used. The challenge is to advance the tech that impacts the design, and still maintain the Star Trek look. I know it's not easy because I've done a million damn doodles that all look like crap. The three main features of primary hull, secondary hull, and nacelles really lock you into a look.
Isn't the registry number on the bottom saucer inverted, or is it supposed to be like that?
Interested to see what you come up with Blue Neumann.
Here is the schematics without much touching up
It really has a Stargate SG-1 vibe going for it.
