Columbia Nacelle ideas

[agent036]

I was thinking that the columbia might do with diffent nacelles, here are some ideas:

What we have now, 1701-A style nacelles

Or I could go with custom nacelles (these are dodgy prototypes, finished ones will be more detailed and refined)

Or, and I like this idea, I could use Excelsior style nacelles turned on their sides. This ship was launched about 6 years after Excelsior.

personally, i prefer the 1701A nacelles, they look best at this kind of starship, just my opinion.

1701A's for me too. With the Excelsior style a close second.

1701A looks the best to me as well. You guys are brilliant!

Nicely done, especially using 3d Studio Max, Is it better than Swift 3D as I find it not the easiest of software yo use which importantantly can be exported into Flash?
