| shipfisher: Thanks!  Since you asked, here's what I have for a shuttlepod: Bottom view:  It's a really small ship, so I figure any more than 2 shuttles is pushing it. Shuttle #2 is called the Rosenman. Or possibly the Giacchino. I'm not sure; ask me again in 2009.  |

| More sketches Sarvek, shipfinder: Glad you like it. Finally, here's the design for the main sphere, with the shuttlepod for scale:  And an aft view:  Ok, so the way I figure this thing was built is that the outer shell surrounds the actual living space, which is built in a sort of layer-cake fashion, and that the two are connected by some sort of bumpers or shock absorbers that would take the stress of an impact. Here's a quick sketch, along with a closeup of the window:  So now the next step is to produce something a bit more schematic-y looking. |

| Neat! Love the shuttle too, it's deliciously boxy. |

| This ship is getting to big for my computer ro handle the redering, so it's on hold currently.. But here is a tease of the shuttle, it's my take on it, so it's not perfect.. But the reference images are great, keep them coming.. |

| I've noted the Soran77 version of the shuttlepod seems scaled-up compared to the carlg original. You can sort of see it as perhaps a romulan war era tactical shuttle and even a predecessor of that winged, high-mounted nacelle shuttle that I think most of us have seen in those Trek XI spy photos that were posted a few weeks ago (and quickly removed) on AICN. Once again, a big to both of you carlg and Soran77 - great work has inspired still more great work here.It's also great to see you posting in this thread Aethernaut. Your beautiful take on the Daedalus and spot-on design Icarus class shuttlepod (I like to think of it as the type 1 shuttlecraft) are big favourites of mine from around the ENT era. |
