Galor & Keldon class cruiser

[Comco]

Awesome work so far mate! Definitely shaping up to be one of the best Galors out there, released or not.

Disappointing that it's a C4D model though...I mean...Who on Earth is going to get any use out of that?

Me, when I import it into LW.

A Max user, laughing at strange file formats...?

Indeed, who knew James May could model so well.

you know, I've never known which way around this design goes, what's the front and what's the back?

The narrow end (the one with the spikes ) is the stern of this ship.

Although I dont think it was meant to be that way when they built it, the director just liked it better the other way around.

you see I thought that part was the front

Well whenever you see them 'flying' on screen they always travel wide end first. It's also where the bridge module is, on the top, near the front, which is traditionally where Trek puts it's bridges, so I suspect it's always meant to be the front. What is unusual of course is having the warp drive at the front, and of course what is the point of the tail, other thn making it look like a Cardassian symbol/cool shape?

They did mess up the direction of travel of Ruafo's ship in Insurrection, which is facing the other way than John Eaves originally drew it

Doesn´t exactly make it easier that the module on its tail follows the same lines as the head section of a Klingon Vor´Cha class.

Maybe I'm too pre-programmed by the images and VFX-sequences of the show, but I can't imagine this ship travelling any other way than it does without it looking... odd.
