Human Sci-fi design for a bright future.
(Mark Rademaker)
Tiny departure schedule for the dock.
(Basically the daily commuting runabout (Pleiades) and some weekly supply/cargo/material shipments by Starfleet.)
Still all work in progress but slowly creeping towards a completed dock.

Inspection of Venetia Starlight.
(Modeled in 2008 but recent renders.)
A star yacht with forward nacelles. Some ships in this class are outfitted with roll out solar sails for a calm (but slow) journey.

A still from "765874 - Memory Wall" by the Roddenberry Archive. (I only delivered the ringship model, they do this magic!) 🙂 youtu.be/fzeznWVQu5o

My design for an RC Crawler back in 2009 vs a DARPA concept vehicle in 2022. :) Convergent evolution. (Or so I hope. :D)

I keep chipping away at a new (friendlier and smaller) habitat for the shipyard. Made some new doors today.

In a way yes! The Curie (from the books) in my mind always had this config. The large Sato side pods would be different/smaller on the Curie. The version on the schematic was a proper conversion I did in 2022 for Picard. (unused) In 2012 I did this mock up: (1/2)

In an alternate timeline:
Shuttle IXL Galileo is (very) near and ready to dock after collecting some atmospheric samples from Proxima B.

A Borg cube I did in 2005. Maybe it was a cube still under construction.

Bussard diagnostics on a New Atlantic class runabout. (Somebody needs to do it!) :)

Diplomatic Star yacht (traditionally) docked at Laibok. (Andoria)

The livery is very Section 31. :)

This concept is dated Friday 31st of October 2008. A week or so before we settled on Probert's curved pylons. I did try out a few different configs. I personally liked this, but it would make the ship a bit shorter than was desired.

A Vesta class flyby test animation made a few years ago, during the conversion for Picard. I'm not an animator, I primarily do design and modeling and then I run out of will power. 😀 This exact mesh/model is 16 years old. (Finished January 2009.)

Fast mass production mainly, required after the events in Destiny. It has a central spine so that different pylon or module configurations can be used independent from the hull sections. My only problem with the Miranda is how the pylon "sticks" into the hull. This was my solution to that.

This was my proposed composition, as this was a new ship, I thought it would be better to show it on a more horizontal angle. Drexler liked the lower angle, so who am I to argue. :)

I like it, they look good on there. I did explore a similar direction in 2009. Design wise it sits much better. One of the first boxed out 3D versions was also having a more angulare/Excelsior like pylon too. Eventually we went with a sweep after Probert did various pylon sketches.

USS Ranger looking for things.

IXL Hawking undocked from the IXS Enterprise to do some system exploration.

HSY workbee prototype for 90% completed. Waiting for some final small bits, texture and decals.

Classic ship from a while back. :)

I will be back soon. Meanwhile:

In other non starship news: I finished building my new bicycle. Electronic gearbox but no motor, so I still have to do all the cycling, but that is how I like it. 😀 I designed a small feedtray so that I can snack while I cycle, making it a zero sum game. 🙂🍫 🍪
