Mystery star trek ship

nah, comparing it to the other hull it's the same other than the cut out peice.  The filler they used looks like styrene sheet to me. 

Don't forget to add the racing stripes and to lower the nacelles.

It reminds of the list "Your Captain Might be a Redneck if..." and one of the points was if he paints flames on the nacelles.

As far as that hull is concerned, that's a common modification to Trek ships by bashers and GK'ers however, that hull looks like a solid piece of resin (is it?) which leads me to believe that it came from another modification kit.

It's cool either way.

On the front of the Warp nacelles!

Pimp My Starship, huh? I shoulda seen it coming!

One question..... where do you put the spinners on a starship?

Miranda class is already heavily armed but a set of aftermarket torpedo tubes or even the mega phaser tips from the roll bar added into that center notch would be cool. Imagine all those phasers firing foreward.

[EDIT: Left out half my post.lol]

There is a possibility that he was going for a Gregory (NCC7700) class Exploration Cruiser . The notch in the forward part of the primary hull would accomodate the three part navigation deflector, and sensor array. See: Jackill's Starfleet Reference Manual, Ships of the fleet, Vol. II.

Thanks, Agentg,  I couldnt remember the class name.  For some odd reason, Akira was screaming at me.  But you are correct.  Its tha Akyazi class.  The Akyazi, Akula, and Arbiter.  One of the variants actually used the torpedo bar from the Miranda class.  It was flipped and put on the lower hull.  The Akyiazi is really a combination of the Constitution and the Miranda.  It uses the roll bar, saucer, and nacells from the Miranda.  But depending on the version, you would have to either scratch the nacelle struts for the swept, arcing version, or use the Constitution ones for the primary version.

I worked on the franchise from 1999-2005. My work was primarily CGI in the video game side of it, but I did help out some friends with some CGI projects for the shows and Nemesis. And I do know that the ship in the opening credits is a full CGI model, however only the aft section is shown.  Looking at the pic again, it cant be the ship from the opening, as it features TMP warp nacelles, and the ship in the credits is round, pre-TOS nacelles.  But it looks like that is the ship the guy was going for when he began cutting up the Miranda.

However, he could also have been going for the Harakawa Class.  However this is more made from a Constitution class.

 

I'll see if anyof my old pals from back then have any more shots of it.

Are you talking about that one starship in the credits shown right before the final picture with the Enterprise? I'd always wondered which one that was...

I don't recognize the design. Maybe the builder was going to add a secondary sensor dish or some additional torpedo launchers....God knows, Trek builders love to add weapons to thier kitbash!
