This is my tribute to one of my all time favourite people; Grace Dell Nichols, better known as Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed one of the most capable, and intelligent characters of Trek. I had the great pleasure of meeting her a few times, and was able to talk to her at some length on her career and my fandom of her body of works, especially Trek, that she spoke one of the greatest truths that I have lived by, "But why should I object to that term, sir? You see, in our century we've learned not to fear words." This was in response to Lincoln's terming her, "charming negress". I... We will miss you dearly.

I managed to kitbash a 3D Model of it. While I can't do starship designs on computer, or draw like atolm, I think your kitbash is off by quite a bit. Your plan view is the only one that's looks like it MIGHT fit atolm s' fore three-quarter view. In his drawing, I'm seeing an Intrepid primary and secondary main hull, with Defiant style cowled engines, and the triangular style mission pod from a Nebula class, but smaller. Plus upper and lower fins, similar to the Claymore/Carrera spy ship from the FASA Intelligence Manual covers. It MIGHT be shorter due to depth perception as your kitbash shows, but you've got the engines taller and narrower in cross section from the front, where the drawing has them shorter and wider. And the sensor/communication fins are just wrong. They both look in the drawing narrowing to their ends, and clearly not as long as the sensor pod. Your side views shows the bottom of the support for the sensor pod being about right, but the fins above and below are WAY too big front to back. Trying to be constructive, but I think you've just missed the mark trying to interpret this. Sorry dude. |
