Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0  |  USS Ranier (Federation Ranier class Battlecruiser) Registry number NX-????? I need help with this ship. I have ideas, but they never seem to be able to come out right when I attempt a 3d model of them, or a paper drawing... although I know my problem with the paper is that I'm using a tiny sketchbook, with crappy pencils... but thats beside the point. As my intro thread says, Star Trek is a recent hobby of mine, so if I could get one of you uber-STgeeks to help, that would be great  So here is a few images... like I said, I cant seem to convey my ideas all that great in normal mediums, so these are made of images I found on the internet, edited together, so design isn't final, this is just a rough draft  The one with color is a beta test I did in MS Paint to see what some colored panels might do for the design. |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | ok, thanks guys! I dont like the front view either, but I dont have access to my own computer for a couple das, so its unlikely it will be changed very soon... it could be that the section I used for the body front view was a ful color picture that i black and whited, when all the rest were line art? i'll see if I can find a front view of the ship i used as a schematic. as for the era, this is about 50 yrs post TNG, but I prefer the TNG/TOS style, so I didn't make it as... weird, as I could have. As for the wide-ivity of the body, heres a few pics, and you tell me which one looks best: http://www.shipschematics.net/startr...er_alaska1.jpg http://www.shipschematics.net/startr..._firestone.jpg http://www.shipschematics.net/startr...uiser_hive.jpg which one? or if you dont like any of those ideas...
