Love to see a longer version. Maybe with both ships coming out of warp, and then both ships going off into warp speed.

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

You'll definitely see more of both ships so I'll see what I can do!

[@nicoferguson1215]

This...wouldn't happen to be based on the Decatur class from the *Starship Design* magazine, would it?

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

Good eye! It's a mix of that and a TOS era Belknap inspiration. Honestly just wanted to see how it turned out.

[@nicoferguson1215]

@@thealbatrossstudio5859 considering i have that particular issue, and reread it every few months.... well, I would certainly recognize her

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

I don't know why but the underslung nacelles always tickled my fancy

[@nicoferguson1215]

@@thealbatrossstudio5859 agreed, along with the thicker neck

[@universaljoint]

Nice... I like the two styles. The Kelvin-esque ship goes well with the Prime Connie.
Can't say I cared for the 1960's radio pings a la JJ Trek, or the silly bobbing , weaving, focus, unfocus, focus camera shots, but that's obviously all subjective.
It DOES look good though. Kudos on the models!

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

I totally get what you're saying. I'm a huge fan of the TOS era stuff and the calm camera handling, but I also like the cinematography of the JJ Abrams stuff at times. I'm honestly just trying stuff out to see what happens. Thanks for the feedback!

[@steveday6671]

Camera work is a bit "battlestar" I prefer my trek more majestic. nice model tho. Try the Baton Rouge class from the Spaceflight Chronology. that makes an excellent precursor design to the Connie.

[@thealbatrossstudio5859]

I definitely agree about the camera work, going for more traditional trek style in the next one I think. I'll check out the Baton Rouge, thanks! I can almost picture her but I can't quite remember the details.
