Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

I like the use of up-scaled Oberth nacelles and the Shangri-La saucer.

The looks are all there but with your own design flair to it. coming along nicely.
Thank you.

The Shangri-La is an interesting design, which has some nods to stuff Todd Guenther has done in the past. Hopefully, I won't tread on too many toes with this :-s
 
I've reached a point with the study model where I either put it to one side or build it fully;

I measure her at 289 meters dead on, with 17 decks. Probably crews around 300.

I'm thinking of going ahead and fleshing this one out: USS Challenger NX-1983 - Challenger Class Transwarp Prototype.

Thoughts and comments are very welcome. More later (most likely tomorrow).
 
Coming along nicely.
Thank you

Oh man, this definitely needs to be build now!

How's your health doing?
I'm on it. just reshaping a few things and then I shall start the detailing bit...

Health is ok, but the fluid is starting to build up again. I thought with the extra medication and fluid restriction I would have more time, but... *sigh* it is what it is.


is the Saucer dia same as the TMP Saucer ?
It is indeed :-) In fact the base is the same saucer I used for the Consititution Refit.


More soon.
 
Just to annoy Starfleet, they all succeeded...

But! It took years before anyone could figure why.
LOL.

I think it did ultimately succeed - just not in the way intended. But it paved the road for the new Warp Scale used in TNG. It may have been something as simple as the move away from Intermix Tech, to a newer integrated MAMR Core. Or maybe something more is going on under the hood of the nacelles. Food for thought.

Last image of the day, as I have to get the house ready for a viewing;

Fleshing her out.

More tomorrow!
 
Well, I have done my job for today. I made someone laugh...
It took years for some of us to cotton on to the idea that it may have worked and redefined things. Or maybe it's just the weird way my brain operates and sees things?

Scale images to help get an idea of the size of this ship;

The pylons on the Challenger are going to change. They're annoying me. But that's for another day.

Comments welcome, more soon :-)
 
Morning folks,

Neck, Nacelles and Pylons are complete:

Made a slight mistake - the reg should read NX-1983, but I've built in NCC-1983. I'm looking into whether I can change it with ease, or whether it will be a ball ache because I build text in. We shall find out!

Comments welcome, more later.
