On a Gorn Heavy-cruiser... I had based the design on a few sketches that I did for the TOS Gorn cruiser I designed earlier this year: This is the more finalized design based on those above sketches. Originally, I was talking to FoaS about some Gorn, and stated that I should just make some generic parts that would be good for bashing ship classes, but when I started this, it kinda took a life on to its own. So, I'll still probably do that parts-idea, but it will be later. This design in ways tries to hybridize details and styles of Gorn ship ideologies from KA/SFB, SFC, and FASA. I like to joke that she's a Bastard-child of their styles. Not entirely sure on where or what of the nacelles are (and yes, you would think that the designer would know, but I don't), but I feel it would be some convoluted design that would connect those dome-like structures on the aft sides, and those 2 pontoon-like structures on the ventral hull. Even commented to WZ, how that this FTL system would be something that Scotty would have cursed and been pissed off about, should he have had the opportunity to examine it personally. Oh, and I'd like to thank Rod O'Neal, for inspiring me to use his idea for the Gorn Plasma launchers to be a turret-like configuration. Anyway, thanks again to the Deadman for his renders. Enjoy:

Interesting, I'm getting the impression of some sort of frilled lizard - the mesh definitely beats the sketches.
I think I'd prefer those lower pontoons to be nacelles, but I'm inclined to think they look like some sort of weapon assembly... then again, so do those domes... The upper 'shoehorns' looks like they could be hangar/launch bays... or giant bussards?

I love that torpedo turret concept. If ever I learn to make models on my own, mind if I use that concept on a ship?
