I know that my Star Trek nerdiness isn’t appreciated by everyone, but the heart loves what it loves. I recently came upon a fan-based starship design that is really striking and interesting. This is the Chariot Class – click the image to go over to a full post of renderings on the Trekazoid blog. This ship was designed by Chris Reyes and modeled by Howard Day over at Scifi-Meshes and appears to be connected to the USS Excalibur designed by concept artist Ryan Dening (see the Excalibur here). Reyes doesn’t have his own website, but his work is posted widely. Here is his original sketch for the Chariot Class from 2004, and below it a more recent digital model of the craft:
Trekazoid also features some nice renderings of schematics for the ship (version #1, version #2), as well as a master systems display. Cool stuff.
Though I’ve been working on new Lego Star Trek stuff, I’ve not got anything to post right now. But I’ve been so interested in the Chariot Class that I’ve done a few digital drawings of it and thought I’d post them here. They’re a variation on the overall design and very simple. Perhaps I’ll flesh them out with color later. Anyway, here they are:
These drawings were done using Sketchbook Pro and then vectorized in Adobe Illustrator. Perhaps if my friend Daniel Glosson ever gets tattoos like his brother he could use these designs.

Greetings, I printed a copy of your ship and would like to know the dimensions. Here’s my e-mail. galaxy65m1@gmail.com
Dimensions of the drawings or dimensions of the ship itself? I thought of the ship as being roughly the same as the original concept: https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php/Chariot_class
However, the profile of my saucer section and the placement and orientation of the nacelles would make mine a little different.
The drawings were drawn 300dpi at 2000×5000 pixels.
I found these dimensions online, this is what I was looking for. I printed a large version of the ship. the diameter of the primary hull is about 18 to 20 inches, so I’m trying to figure the scale. Do you agree with those dimensions? Can I use a larger version of your sketch to show on my facebook page and youtube with credits?
Sure! Go ahead – just link to the post if you would:)
Do you have a large image of your original sketch? I’ll post a link of facebook right now.
