This is a study model based on one of Matt Jefferies’ original Star Trek TOS Enterprise concepts, particularly this one. Something about this concept really jumped out at me, so I wanted to whip up a quick 3D model to gauge its feasibility as a scale model project.
After making the 3D model, I’m unsure if I like how the forms translate into 3-dimensional space. It’s technically correct to the concept art, and it looks good from that one angle, but it’s clunky and goofy from other angles. I don’t want to add too many details or change too many lines and stray too far from the concept, but it needs a little more oompf. Maybe a smaller sphere and larger secondary hull? Longer nacelles? I do like how the small antenna mimic the sketchy lines, though!
