Re: What Does This Look Like?
Elves have SPACESHIPS??? Geez, I never knew LOTR got THAT weird! 
BTW, the original design for the Romulan Warbird (the one seen on TNG, people always get that confused with the TOS Bird of Prey which looks completely different  ) was a vertical design; instead of the "wings" projecting outward, they were to project up and down. It got scrapped, IIRC, because a vertical ship is hard to get good shots of on a horizontal TV screen.

Re: What Does This Look Like?
well, they were never called 'spaceships'...
just magical elf ships
don't get me started about turning a flat plane universe into spheres (hint: read silmarillion)

Re: What Does This Look Like?
ok, to shorten it.
in lotr, some of the elves lived on a magical island. i think it's called valoran or something like that. at that time the world was flat. then there was mythylogical anger and the elves where kicked out and the world was made round. and the island was seperated from the world. but the elves can still get there on ships going flat.
it's magic.

prolly cuz the elf ships to fly off of middle earth reminded him about spaceships -> which might even look a bit minbari like
thats my guess at least
It is uncanny how much B5 seems to parallel LOTR
And yes, you are 100% correct. Minbari are the Elfs. Very perceptive.

Re: What Does This Look Like?
i thought there where just a generic 'mysterious' race.
well, when you read about 100 new books a year, some things get generic.

Re: What Does This Look Like?
I did this ship to see if I could do it. I did it, and yes I can make it even better now, but I can see no reason to. I have even made the White Star, and it looks brillant, but I will never make a B5 set. Not my interest.
Design is, and to have been able to use a program like DOGA to do this was rewarding. I would love to learn 3d Max, had the program once, but can't find my disks. In retrospect, I should have taken more time to learn that program.

Re: What Does This Look Like?
Hey ! At least release them so we can include them into "standard" Minbari shipset we have here !! Please... 
What Minbari shipset is really missing are transports - right now we are using Centauri ships

Re: What Does This Look Like?
Hey I have no problem making ships if people want them, but they might not be cannon or look spot on.
