    Hi guys

    I'm currently working on some models for a dockyard scene and since I don't want do use the regular stuff that has been done to death and back again (Wokbee, NCC-1701, standard drydock) I'm planning to some designs often not known to the majority of viewers.

    Unfortunately some online sources don't provide the credits for some images on the pic itself. So it would be great if somebody could help me out so the designers can be credited in the final images.

    Thanks in advance for trying to help to identify those three.







    In case anybody's interested here's also a couple of preview shots of some related WIPs for this project:

    The second and third schematic (cargo shuttles based on TMP vulcan shuttle and TVH tractor tug) are from Eric Kristiansen (Jackill).

    The ship looks really nice so far. :)
    The (Vulcan) shuttle is really interesting.

    Thanks.

    Well, at least one of us has to build some models every once in a while. And since you're off god knows where, caring for your politically challenged boyfriend ... :p

    Your Phase II-esque pathfinder project looks a lot like Shaw's reconstruction of the three footer with the flatter saucer components. I always pictured the three footer as what the NCC-1700 looked like, so you might have the Pathfinder develop into the Constitution (II) that Aridas drew, only 'as built' perhaps.

    :lol: Yeah, it's full-time-job.

    But I must say, that Tobias Richter's dry-dock-project is filling my head with such thoughts and ideas... ;)

    I like the sound of that!!!
    And you still have to beat that animation of your DS3 you did ages ago. ;)

    Just fire up Lightwave and start digging through your reference folders, old man. :p

    ^^ Sorry, but that was so long ago. :p

    Remember that lighting experiment with the arriving shuttle? That's when you pretty much nailed the Voyager look.
