Hallo,
a concept scrapyard for dumping concepts that didnt work out or werent finish

starting with some old models from my beginnings in modeling

Warthog Class, small craft augmented with borg technology

F.S.S. New Berlin, ballsy science ship :D

unnamed bug-like ship, couldnt make the pylons work and didnt like the nacelles

ill post some more bits going through my old files, if you too have pieces that you think go nowhere or you cant make work and want to share - maybe somebody else has ideas to fix it or can use it for inspiration

    I like the first one. It kind of reminds me of the bad guys' ship in Galaxy Quest, or at least what that ship would look like as a Federation starship.

    an old concept i couldnt work out, i think the saucer shape has some potential but i cant make the sec-hull work and the nacelles are not quite right

    Yeah, the saucer could definitely be worked with. I'm thinking, with the chunkiness of the design, maybe integrated nacelles would work better than ones on pylons. Just a thought.

    hmm that is an idea, maybe integrated bottom up ones in ones in those arches at the bottom back of the main, ill keep trying

    oh btw, ill make the meshes available if anybody else feels like having a try with it

    Interesting. It's kind of Oberth meets Defiant.

    yeah that was part of it, always wanted a new version of the oberth but its hard to live up to the original, afaik there are only one or two decent tries, someone here made an oberth excelsior cross that looked good

    I really like both of medjai's models that are updated versions of the Oberth.

    oh didnt have these on the radar, wow they are mindblowing indeed, he really perfected these, but they stick very close to the original, i thought more of a complete reinterpretation of the layout, but they are a great updated version no doubt

    Ironically, if I remember correctly, his first version started out as a canon Oberth. However, he wanted to improve some things, and he wound up creating a whole new successor to the class.

    ah, yup, thats what it looks like, only redesign ive found is this

    dont know who made this, not bad but i think its still an open design challenge with some good potential

    Actually, I like the nacelles. The small saucer and spindly pylons don't do a lot for me, though.

    yeah the pylons are indeed too spindly, tried to beef them up, not sure what to do with the sec hull so ill leave it at this for now, maybe not viable yet but i think i can use it for future concepts
