OFFICIAL Ambassadore class ORIGINAL concept - Scifi-Meshes.com

Official from the studio of Andrew Probert

YOU'VE BEEN ASKING FOR IT

We're in the initial phases of developing the Ambassador Class Starship, to be offered initially in 1:1400 scale.

With only two views of this ship ever drawn, I'm putting it together as originally intended from mostly undocumented ideas I had at the time.
These preview shots will be updated every few days (time allowing), and contain elements which will probably evolve as the project continues.

We're hoping this will be an interesting addition to everyone's Starfleet collection, filling that gap in Starship design lineage.

i wish i could say it was me but if you check out proberts designs he off the hook
basically the go to guy for star trek concept art

wow, that's look, finally this one gets done as well. Looking forward.

But which two views? I only know of the image (that is posted in the picture on the lower left hand corner).

Phoenix_56 · 01-18-2008, 09:59 AM

the second image was used to construct the confrence room display onboard the enterprise d for TNG

Isn't there also an old piece of concept art that has a side view of this version of the Ambassador, along with the Galaxy and Excelsior?

**Aethernaut** · 01-18-2008, 04:44 PM

Meh.

The model plays too much into blasé stock Trek design. It fits WAY TOO NEATLY into the middling look of Excelsior & Galaxy classes and does nothing innovative or fun. Those nacelle pylons as they look in his concept painting could have been a lot more interesting in the model and leaned toward a sort of Phase II delta body type secondary hull look. *yawn* The butt-ugly rush job on-screen Ambassador model has a more interesting things going on than this model.

I'm more than a little disappointed, as I really love Probert's concept painting. I guess it's safe to continue fleshing out my take on it.

He's leaning way to much on existent design. But hey, Probert can do whatever he wants with the model for his design.

EDIT (Hey Moderator): And shouldn't this be down in "General Discussions" as the actual artist isn't the one who posted it?
