I may be biting off more than I can chew but hopefully I can complete this project I have just started.  Trying to model a Sci Fi (Trek based) engineering section for a Trek/Klingon hybrid ship i am doing. Here is the beginings of it. Starting with the Warp Core. It is at this moment very much a work in progress.  Modeled in wings 3D. I still have to detail the mesh and muck about with texturing. But when completed I will put it up in the freebie section.

That should be nice for scene building.  It will be great to check it out.  thanks.

I don't remember ever seeing a Klingon warp drive (but then there's whole years of DS9 I missed; they played that and Voyager in the same time slot ot 2 different channels...why, I'll never know...;)
I'm impressed, any time I try something like this in Wings, it comes out looking like a Lava lamp...;)

Looking forward to more...

Looks great.  Maybe include a red core interior for the Klingons.

 Looks good!

I'll second a red core for the Klingons. And perhaps some .. Jaggy parts to the rail supports or something. Something more .. Klingon. This is still soft and human ;)

 Maybe make the railing a hexagon, instead of round, and put some angled braces on it with shock-absorbers. Viola, then you have a Klingon Warp-core.

Thanks for the feedback.

When I was typing this I made a huge Blunder. instead of saying 'Trek/Klingon hybrid ship' What I meant to type was a Federation/Klingon hybrid. 
The ship is a Federation and Klingon joint project, simular to the Defiant where the romulans had a hand in it.
I posted a WIP of the sled part of the ship in the gallery a few weeks back.

Sorry for the confusion due to my bad typing and consuming way to many alcholic beverages whilst modeling/rendering and typing.

Looks good so far, I'd be interested to see this one develop.

Your attempt is laughable.  That is an unrealistic warp core.  The ratio between the height and diameter is all wrong.  With that ratio, the matter/anti-matter reaction would be uncontrollable.

(That was written in the voice of the comic book shop guy Simpsons.)

Thanks though for your input.

My appologies. I must be the only person on the planet who has not watched the Simpsons.
I misinterpretted fibbits post. 

@Fibbits sorry for the mis-interpretation.

Appropriate response to Comic Book Guy's complaints about inaccuracies is "Wizards!"
(In that unspecified "wizards" supply the Applied Phlebotinum required to make your warp core stable. See http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AppliedPhlebotinum)

Pretty good Comic Book Guy... made me laugh and I seldom laugh.
