I thought I’d share a couple pictures of my latest project. This is a Vulcan designed Federation starliner. These are pictures of the master patterns for a 1/1000 kit. Let me know what you think.
Very nice start Woody. How many parts will it be?
Four, perhaps five if I make the tail piece seperate. I need to talk with the caster to see what way would be best. I’m leaning toward four. The main hull, a dorsal spine piece and two semi-annular warp rings.
Excellent work, Woody!
Regards, Dan
[#ditto] Can’t wait to see the finished model.

I’ve been in a bit of a modeling slump.[V] I need to get back to it.
Well, whattareyawaitin’ fer, Chris?!? Get to it! [:D]
Yeah we could use some more of those progress pics[:P] And some more inspiration.
hahaha, that is just the coolest… I like the Singapore Airlines logo on the tale… Did you put back to front for artistic licence sake?.. That is sweet!.. Great work!
Chris
I think it looks cool!
I like the smooth lines.
Don’t worry about the slump, Woody, we all have them. You’re making excellent progress. I put aside the scratchbuilds myself for a while. Bought me a few Tron light cycles from the SM store, simple to clean up and paint. Got my Jem Hadar cruiser coming and gonna order a Valdore from Ravenstar. Just diversions from racking my brain over finishing a design that’s only on paper.
Looks great so far Woody. Keep us posted.
Regards, Rick
Thanks Guys. The markings are the way the designer placed them. I doubt I’ll try to get Singapore Airlines on the kit decal sheet. I was thinking about markings for a “Federation One” type ship, a starliner in the era between TMP & TNG, and perhaps a Vulcan diplomatic vessel. What do you think? Anyone have ideas for the commercial starliner? I was thinking maybe Risa registry? If anyone has CG skills and would like to take a crack at ship markings, I’d like to see them.[;)]
I managed to get the semi-annular warp engines roughed out. I hope to have something photo worthy in a couple days.[;)]
As I mentioned before, I can help you out with markings. There are a lot of possibilities. You can go the modern “Euro white” route, a retro cheat-line look, or something with a lot of body color.
Here’s an old Pan-Am livery
These three were designs by some pro and amateur livery designers I modified by for my own ships.
These are some of my own designs:
Edited to add credits to livery designs!
Sweet! I like all these but this one is my favorite.
[#ditto] That one caught my eye. That would look so cool![8D]
That’s a sea serpent from an episode of the Animated Star Trek. I added a bit of alien script and some Chinese. I don’t think it would be appropriate for the Vulcans, though!
I recognized the critter and I remember the episode. Although a Vulcan design, I see it in wide use amoung Federation members. I would like to see how your designs look adapted to the Vulcan starliner.
I’ve got Galen’s original side view, so I’ll trace it and work up some liveries.
