Description "There's a story I heard as a child, a parable, and I never forgot it. A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly, he saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said 'No. If I do that, you'll sting me and I'll drown.' The scorpion assured him, 'If I did that, we'd both drown.' So, the fox thought about it, and finally said no again. So, the scorpion turned around and said, 'Screw you! I'll just use that bridge over there'."

You wouldn't happen to know if this story is actually a thing would you?

I have to say that the beginning of Scorpion was one of the most epic openers ever. Seeing those cubes get wasted always sends a chill down my spine. You have a beautifully rendered Borg cube here, my friend.

thefirstfleet In reply to Klingon8088 [2014-03-22 15:56:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it was a shocker. The Borg was usually dealt with suicide runs or Picard-level strategy. Seeing that someone can finish them off with brute force...shocking.

Beautiful work, great recreation from an awesome scene. If I wasn't in the mood for Babylon 5, this would be my new wallpaper. I love Voyager still my favourite series despite it's flaws.

A Borg cube must be one of the hardest things to model for it to look right. All those little bits and bobs on the hull must be a pain.

Fantastic job.

Let's just say it was the model I had the most iterations of. Version 8 is the current one.
