Abramsprise revised

Post by McAvoy »

One thing I hated was how large the nacelles were and how 'skinny' the engineering hull was in the new Enterprise. I have no clue who made the original since I got it off of the internet almost two years ago.

I changed the markings to TOS, altered the nacelles and changed the bussard collectors to red. I fatten up the engineering hull as much I can and altered the front part of it and then changed the deflector dish to a goldish color. I am not completely happy with the bottom part of the engineering hull though.

It's like the Ford and Mercury versions... or Toyota and Lexus... etc...

I didnt care for the organic curves of the nacelles compared to the saucer. Your version straightens it a bit.

But the important question is, how long is it?! :)

I rather like your revisions, actually.

1,746 meters. :P They scaled it twice as big as it should be, so why not scale it twice as big as the Abramsprise?

Seriosuly, my version is about the same size as refit E-nil.

Currently I am working on a new project. Basically the refit Enterprise is a new ship because hardly anything would have survived intact during the refit. So I am working my way back from TMP Enterprise and giving it a TOS look. I am using the Phase II Enterprise as a starting point.

Wasn't Phase II the triangular-hulled one for the TV series that was never made?

Yes and no. The one I am using is what fans call the Constitution (II) class.

I like the changes to the engineering hull but I kinda prefer the blue colouring.

The whole purpose was to make it look TOS as possible while making it 'sexy, sleek'.

Photoshop CS3. I got the original picture off of the internet. I don't remember who made it but it does resemble Irishman's work though.

Sounds good. I like the actual modifications just not the colour.

I prefer the new red, stands out more. Looks good though :-)

Well I wanted it to look more TOS Enterprise as much as I could.
