1701b

Why Non-Canon?? Because i lack enough image references to make it Canon. To be honest, im not sure how far i can carry this either; as modelling is new to me and i know some parts of this ship will get really complicated. But im optimistic in it's outcome.

Why 1701B? Because i've always loved this ship [and the Excelsior despite the general consensus of her design]. I've seen many really well made models of this class but i've never seen any available. Besides, the ones out there leave much to be desired.

A couple of notes of these images, im in the very early stages of this build so there are going to be some segmenting.

If anyone notices something that is not part of the canon - please let me know and ideally have photos to show what is wrong.

On that note, if anyone knows of any good reference sites with detail pics of this ship please let me know or post a link. I would really appreciate that.

that, i think even those of us 2d bitmappers who view ships like this, lets just say, we agree, for we are frequently in the same boat, reference source wise, lol

Small update -

Some Hull lines, and some thrusters.

I also recommend this page:
Ex Astris Scientia - Starship Gallery - Excelsior

The images there also show some model pictures.

See the Shadows of Darkness, Hear the Scream of Cruelty...

decent site, though, those pics, are not what I'd call eye candy, gotta admit, they are useful for structure placement.
