I read some were one time that the TOS R. Bird Of Prey is not warp capable or I herd that in Balance of Terror. I like this recreation of the bird with the extra detail. I think the front of the engines could use more of a glow. I do like the animation. Keep up the good work.
In Fasa's ST:TRPG the Romulan BOP light cruiser had only 150 crew, could land, and could only go warp 4&6, but that's to make it more fairer in the game movement wise though :-/
AWESOME WORK SHOWN HERE!!!! I like the "space weathering" effects on the hull!!! Also, the Landing Gear Doors!!!! Many details shown here!!!! GREAT WORK!!!!
I doubt the Romulans would let one of their starships get "rusty". They do have pride in their fleet, after all. BTW: I have heard one of the Star Trek channels do an analysis of this ship, and they stated that they interpreted the line that the ship wasn't warp capable to mean it was damaged in the battle and so was not CURRENTLY warp capable. Otherwise, they could never have fought the Romulan-Federation War, nor could they have ever encountered the Enterprise. Even the Romulan blueprints show it has warp nacelles!
Good work, My videos are crap compare to yours... like this design, something that Earth should build that can land and take off instead of building ships in space
This ship was build for a planned StarTrek Of Gods and Men HD version, and therefor could have had warp. Also, the bird is capable of landing on a planet, so rust could/can form, especially if they are playing the "rebels" in STOGAM. Anyway, thanks to all for commenting.
Everyone bitching and moaning about how the Rom BOP wasn't warp-capable...I'm one of the biggest canon-geeks out there, but face it - if the ship hadn't been warp-capable, Balance of Terror could never have happened. If neither side had warp, the Romulan War could never have happened! I think the best course is to simply ignore those few lines of dialogue, rather than go through all sorts of mental and narrative gymnastics to "make it fit" as was done in the Star Trek: Enterprise Romulan War novels.
Of course the Romulans have warp drive or something equivalent to it. They are after all a branch of the Vulcanes that lost contact with the home world long ago and evolved slightly differently but are still immensely intelligent, but retaining the savage and brutal ways of ancient Volcan expansionism. Their primary home star systems are Romulus and Remus (why Remus became a planet in ST Nemesis still doesn't make sense...much like the movie) a multi star system empire who started out as formidable enemies of Klingons as well as the Federation. After all they did develop cloaking technology first and shared it with the Klingon after what ever truce of cooperation they made with each other.
In a number of books some authors have tried to address this. Best result is a low warp speed carrier. It carries the warbird/BOP to a location then drops them as patrol craft .. makes perfect sense given the romulans ideas on trust. Can't defect, can't attack the homeworld, can't run .. no speed .. till the warp carrier comes and picks them back up
Thank you! It is long past time someone did this and you did it so very well. The Romulan Warbird was Star Treks best alien ship. Fun fact. The only reason the Klingon D7 modal was used in the Episode ‘The Cobermite Maneuver was that they had lost the Original Warbird modal.
These ships have impulse power only - established in the show. Given the distances involved however, they must have some warp capabilities even taking into account Romulan longevity. Star Trek TMP showed us a Vulcan shuttle with a warp "sled". As Romulans and Vulcans share ancestry could the warp sled technology be common to both? There's a project for you!
The Andorian Battle Cruiser other wise known as the Kumari class is my number 1 favorite ship from "Star Trek: Enterprise!" It looks like the Battlestar Galactica mixed with a futuristic looking airplane!
I always bugged by the fact it had a earth Eagle drawing as it's Bird of Prey symbol? Would they not have a Native Romulan Bird used instead. I can't believe that they would have one which happened to look exactly the same as a earth bird.. even with the Idea of all beings the TOS lot happen to meet being all 2 legged 2 arms normal humanoids..
Um, correct if I'm wrong, the Romulan Bird of Prey from Balance of Terror wasn't warp capable. So there wouldn't be stars streaking by. Other than that, excellent graphics.
Unless the Romulan Empire is A LOT smaller than Star Trek claimed then there is no way the Enterprise could have defended the Federation from this ship unless Kirk was cruising around inside the RE , it would have taken the Romulans forever to get out of the Empire at impulse speeds . No my ears are not pointed .
They have to be warp capable or they will take years simply leaving their home system, and probably centuries in reaching The Federation. When Scotty says, "Their power is pure impulse" (or somesuch) he must have meant their reactor or powerplant.
Very true, but the program makers may have been more concerned with drama and storytelling than the realities of interstellar travel. If a planet is say 3.5 light years away it takes 3.5 years to get there at light-speed. Sublight is slower than light speed so it would take longer. If the Romulans want to cross interstellar distances they must either have some kind of faster than light drive or take years and years to get anywhere.
Beautiful show of a T'liss light warbird...
Beautiful. The aztec panels, the space corrosion on the hull. Can u imagine the Gal'gathong looking this good in Balance Of Terror.
Beautiful! My all time favorite Romulan ship!
Jeff Hallam
2 years ago The Romulan Bird of Prey is indeed a very beautiful and symbolic ship of the Romulan Star Empire's Navy.
this ship has defiantly seen action.
Well done. I love the weathering of the ship, as well as the landing gear covers. Excellent.
She's capable of planetary landings so yes rust is possible
This screams "FASA blueprints, 1980's"(that's a GOOD thing)!
@@gregsmall5939 Agreed.
I was looking for the landing gear as well. The Warbird was an atmospheric capable ship.
@@gregsmall5939
Also reminds me of my days playing Romulan in Star Fleet Battles
DAMN!!!! Absolutely magnificent!!!!

Love it, music and all. A closer look
In Fasa's ST:TRPG the Romulan BOP light cruiser had only 150 crew, could land, and could only go warp 4&6, but that's to make it more fairer in the game movement wise though :-/
AWESOME WORK SHOWN HERE!!!! I like the "space weathering" effects on the hull!!! Also, the Landing Gear Doors!!!! Many details shown here!!!! GREAT WORK!!!!
Well done! My favorite Romulan ship ever!
Scary as hell. Great job.
Fantastic
The rust suggests this ship is capable of atmospheric flight.
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
Love the way you've textured the Romulan war bird.
love the reflective texturing
outstanding!!!!!!!

Excellent Work And Superb Music.
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
Great animation! But somehow I don't see the Romulan Star Empire allowing their ships to get that rusted and worn down.
Still one of my favorite ship designs.
their hull would sure like some
WD spray or breakcleaner
even in nonoxide space.
Look at that rust!
An impressive new look at a classic design. Always knew it was a rust bucket though.
The corrosion all over the ship is crazy because ocrrosioned parts on a spacecraft is fatal.
Notice that this Star Trek Romulan Bird Of Prey looks like a U.S. Civil War era Ironclad Battleship?
Granted my science is a little shaky but isn't oxygen required for rust to form ? Looks damn good but I had to ask .
She's capable of planetary landings so yes rust is possible
Ya, I was going to say that she looks capable of atmospheric flight... and there's clearly hatches for landing gear.
STNeish
Yes needs a respray - outstanding work mind.
There is particals of o2 in space.
Your assuming that she was constructed from ferris metal, and there are other things could cause corosion in space
awesome.
Fantastic!
There is an old saying from the 22nd - “Never trust a Romulan. Never turn your back on one.”
Well done great job, looks bad ass !.
Very nice!
They've definitely stolen our designs! 😆
Tribute is okay what doesnt mean life actually sucks on this starship
What is the song name? I've been looking for days now and can't seem to find it.
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
Pretty bad ass!!
.BEST PAINTING EVER!
Long live the romulan star empire
Now THAT was well done!
this is excellent work
Very very good animation.
I like it!
Very good work!!!
Peace.
I’m pretty sure the impulse engines are at the rear end of the warp nacelles on the Romulan BoP
Wow that is beautiful
Good work, My videos are crap compare to yours... like this design, something that Earth should build that can land and take off instead of building ships in space

Thank you for explaining the rust, did you make sure the rust patterns did not extend over the hull plate sections that move to extend landing gear?
according to tos, this particular ship did not have warp and only impulse.
Everyone bitching and moaning about how the Rom BOP wasn't warp-capable...I'm one of the biggest canon-geeks out there, but face it - if the ship hadn't been warp-capable, Balance of Terror could never have happened.

Christopher Nuzzi I agree
Of course the Romulans have warp drive or something equivalent to it.

After all they did develop cloaking technology first and shared it with the Klingon after what ever truce of cooperation they made with each other.
Yeah I like to take that line that they are sub-light while cloaking
In a number of books some authors have tried to address this. Best result is a low warp speed carrier. It carries the warbird/BOP to a location then drops them as patrol craft .. makes perfect sense given the romulans ideas on trust. Can't defect, can't attack the homeworld, can't run .. no speed .. till the warp carrier comes and picks them back up
I leave behind the technicalities and just ENJOY the show😏
wjaspers What is name of the epic music soundtrack that you used in this video?
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
Is this a JJ ABRAMS Romulan Bird of Prey?? If so, DAM FINE JOB !!!
I’ll try spinning that’s a good trick
I'm confused. I've always called that a warbird. Birds of prey were a very different animal --at least to my memory.
@ William West. War Bird in TNG. Bird Of Prey in TOS (Romulan)
Awesome :)
LONG LIVE THE ROMULAN STAR EMPIRE
Impressive!!
Thank you! It is long past time someone did this and you did it so very well.
The Romulan Warbird was Star Treks best alien ship.
Fun fact. The only reason the Klingon D7 modal was used in the Episode ‘The Cobermite Maneuver was that they had lost the Original Warbird modal.
what kind of surround sound system have they on board?
this is incredible... any chance of recreating the odyssey battle with the jem hadar?

Lightweight .
why is there rust? their is no way for the ship to oxidize in space.
Excellent work!!! Which is the name of the soundtrack?
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
lots of rust must been made of china steel.
music?
Siniša Kragulj
2 years ago I honestly don't know. Does anybody else out there know what's the name of the EPIC background music used in this video?
The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
@@jamieolberding7731 The music is called TWO STEPS FROM HELL - DOWN WITH THE ENTERPRISE
Can you do an Andorian ship

The Andorian Battle Cruiser other wise known as the Kumari class is my number 1 favorite ship from "Star Trek: Enterprise!" It looks like the Battlestar Galactica mixed with a futuristic looking airplane!
Jamie Olberding I agree might do a video on the ship sub to my channel

Now that makes sense.
Are those three landing pads/struts on the bottom?
Sure look like that's what they'd be there for in that triangular setup.
That's the idea behind those triangles on the bottom of the TOS Enterprise. The 2 triangles and whatever is hidden by the neck connection.
How....non-Newtonian.
why is it spinning
*tampering
I have seen space freighters fly/fight much better then Romulan Bird of Prey.
Warbird, Birds of Prey are DC.
Ever wonder why early Romulan ships had warp nacelles? They didn't have warp technology.
IGFA romulan ship of the 31st century. Circ 3073
Very nice!
