Hi,

I'm new here, but some of you might know me from Flare (under the name Harry). I've been an irregular lurker of these forums, but now I'm a member.

I'm no good at 3D work (tried it several times), I'm better in 2D :)
I've recently finished updating and correcting old fandom designs.

As my first 3D Gladiator post, here's the debute of my De Ruyter class. It's a small research vessel, with a powerful sensor package located in an Excelsior-like recess. I reckon it could be used for things like subspace research.

(the ACI was mentioned in "The Cage", the logo is my design)

An interesting design. What are the domes on top for?
And welcome to 3DG.

Nice drawing http://www.3dgladiators.net/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif.

At first glance, from the profile view, it reminds me a little of a Paris class as seen over at the Starfleet Museum. But the other views show a lot of unique qualities. I like to see new TOS / Pre-TOS stuff and that are not capital ships.

So, gonna see more?

Update: Some small changes in detail.

The domes are probably the deuterium fuel tanks.

And I'm not ashamed to say that this design is indeed somewhat inspired by Masao's Museum.

Go for it! I was considering doing it, but I want to finish the Cutlass first.

A little extra:
