A few weeks ago, Doug Drexler contacted me to come up with some ideas for the upcoming SOTL calendar.

My immediate reaction was- "HOLY CRAP!" This guy worked on TNG, Battlestar Galactica, and other shows and movies! I am honored that my work is being seen by professionals of the business.

So I created a few rendered images, some with my custom ships, others with more familiar ships featuring the TOS Enterprise, etc. That process was daunting to say the least.

Doug liked 3 of the images I sent him. It looks like in the coming months I will be building a TV/Studio-quality TOS Enterprise!

Stay tuned!

Shapeways

I did some tweaking to my USS Argonaut mesh and had it uploaded to Shapeways. In a week or two, I should have the miniature in my hands. I really look forward to it.

You can see the mesh here: shpws.me/nnw2

Once I receive it, the ship will be for sale for the public.

...so he is using mine as reference. :D No joke. The original mesh as seen in the Ships of the Line calendar was lost in a hard drive crash, and Gabe had no backups. He noticed my Bridge Commander version looked 'spot on', and is using it as reference for building a new one. I guess mine is now accurate.

I should really comment on here more.

I'm currently designing a version of the USS Excelsior is it was built in the JJ Abrams' Trek XI universe. The original Excelsior was cool to look at on its own, and was first built to be really over-the-top with technology. Now, the ship is really streamlined and has dozens of decks (I haven't figured that out yet).

Schematic concept views are being created so I can eventually build it in 3d. I'm really looking forward to that.
