Which version would look better on my desk?
The
Melbourne look, or the
Sutherland look?
Keep in mind that I'll be doing a kit-bash, so the model will only resemble the Nebula sub-type in shape and not in the details.

"Blocked - no hotlinking" is quite a decent look too.

Sutherland. The other one looks like some fanboy's abortion.

All right, I'll try to come up with a nice trapezoidal pod...
The Melbourne might be easier considering it really was just a kitbash of similar kits to the one I have, but the little nacelles are kind of weird, anyway.

Wasn't the Nebula class a kitbash to begin with, made with pieces from other props?
And put me down for another Sutherland vote. Those extra warp nacelles just look silly.

Well, I wouldn't actually be able to use smaller GCS nacelles since I don't have any more GCS models, but more like modified missile tubes or some rectangular plasticard tubes for nacelles, or little "Hiliter" looking things.
The Sutherland-style pod I make will be mostly made out of model airplane control surfaces with tank treads as details/grills/whatever.

Why the hell is that crappy variant called a 'Melbourne'? The USS Melbourne was an Excelsior class vessel. EDIT: nevermind, Memory Alpha has the answer.
Put me down +1 for the Sutherland.

The Melbourne and Phoenix models were, but the Sutherland/Farragut was made with much more distinct parts, including a differently-shaped engineering hull, deflector dish, impulse engines, and some strange bits on the warp engines. So my model won't be accurate.

You want me to save this thread or do you want to start a new one in AMP?

I hadn't even thought about AMP. That's probably a good idea, because then I'll have to post some pictures. And then I'll get some nice, quality feedback.

I meant "Yeah, save it." Sorry. No sleep.

Done.
Also renamed it.

Thanks. Now, I have some pieces ready to assemble, and then I'll get some pics up, hopefully. Does anybody know a good, free pic hosting service?

Photobucket is pretty decent, and free.
