Romulan SparrowHawk

I want to go foward with this design unless there is just a total explosion of hate from you guys, so be kind.

If only the boom was a little longer- that is all that it really needs.
As it is, the ship seems kinds 'squished' ATM. Of course, that could be the way that I associate with the need for the longer boom from the old-style mini and the SSD.

Now, the detail is EXQUISITE and the new rear hull has much nicer lines... so it's not like it's a big complaint. This ship is a beautiful interpretation of the Hawk series.

Perfect IMO.

Looks more Romulan and less Klingon or phalic.

Prefer this over the original art.

I'm all about it! I'm not really a Romulan player, but I love the Romulan ships. I have always wondered what the Sparrowhawk looked like and thought "meh". But this model is beautiful! I'm un-meh-ing even as we speak :D

Looks fantastic - should it be slightly (and I do mean slightly) larger? Won't die in a ditch if it isn't though.

I would have preferred the ront hull to be a bit longer, getting more toward the current official art work, but that's me.

The winged engines really show the Klingon influence too.

I have to echo Paul's sentiments here.

I would like a longer neck... and maybe a bit of a curved approach (althoughat that point you're approaching the Firefly look)

The wing/engine definitely shows how the Klignon tech obtained from the Kestrels influenced the design of hte hawks.
