That's wierd, damn browser lost my password after, like, a year? Almost couldn't remember it.
Sojourner, yes on the Vipers...I've always loved that Buck Rogers ship, and, I was inspired by this site:
http://www.13th-tribe.net/ , figured I'd try to play with something Not Trek for a change
Thing is, all those little sketches will probably be discarded, and the final will look totally different.
Axeman, yes, exactly, that ended up being my retake of Sternbach's old Patton-Marshall class from the old
SFC. I always liked the designs in that book, sort of a shame it's now non-canon.
Ricky, sorry about that
Anyway, that Catalina thing was inspired by something Publisher wrote a while back,
"...aircfraft-inspired....". So here it's the old PBY flying boat. One thing I wanted to do was to bring back that "impossibly fragile" future-tech look that the original E had, here with the tiny neck, and pylons projecting from that thin top spine...
And I know that abstract weird looking box-deck shuttle area is crap...I'll figure out something. And NOT rip off the old Metaluna nacelles.
Maurice, that Rommie fighter is great. For some reason I'm imagining all sorts of "missles" and ordinance slung under the wings.
Albertese, thanks. That thing actually started out (far differently) as my (attempted)-own-universe idea. To be honest, the main inspiration (straight rip-off?) was Mario Andretti's 1969 Indy car
As it evolved/devolved, it reminded me too much of Rick's Patton, so, back into the Trek world it went. Then of course I had to "StarWarz" it up with greeblie stuff and dirt.
