You may have on Sci-Fi meshes. I haven't read the posts there, just looked at the images. Great work on interpolating the rest of the ship!

XFozzboute · October 8 2011, 06:26 PM

Thanks.
UPDATE...
Trying to greeble out the cutouts on the side of the hull.

Decided to rough in the inside of the shuttlebay. At least I now know the shuttles will fit, kind of.

XFozzboute · October 10 2011, 03:06 AM

UPDATE...
Pretty much finished of the greebles in the cutout in the hull. Also added some detail to the back of the primary hull.

Added another transporter emitter to the front of the ship. I’m thinking I might be able to add a secondary Nav deflector to the nose of the hull. Added phasers and some panel lines.

Still thinking about the shuttlebay and what to do with it. Added a phaser strip and RCS to the back of the hull. I may want to change them and move them over to the left a little bit.

sojourner · October 10 2011, 04:18 AM

Yeah, I like RCS placed at extreme "corners" of models. Gives them more "leverage".

She is coming along well. I guessing that going by her registry that she was contemporary to classes such as the New Orleans, Challenger, and Steamrunner.

I saw your thread on the UEG on Subspace Coms, and was wondering if you were going to also going to post that work here too.

XFozzboute · October 11 2011, 02:01 AM

Thanks. I went with that registry only because that is Jack Pierce's birthday /5/5/1889.
I wasn't going to post my UEG work here since it appears to be primarily a Star Trek forum.

You can get fat escorts if you know where to look.

Very nice work! I like your attention to detail.

Hey Xfozzboute, I hadn't realized until now that the Pierce is based on an old concept for Voyager. Just found it here while poking around the web:

Yep. I thought I had mentioned that. And that one picture is the same one I have. Just a top down view so I have make everything else up myself.

I did know about that concept, but I thought I remembered seeing an angled concept drawing of that.

^ Are you sure you're not thinking about the preliminary design that they ended up building a study model of? (images dv-5 and dv-8 in the above link)

Fozz: Loving the Pierce, except for the areas around the rollbar connection points. This much solid black somehow looks wrong on a Federation Starfleet starship. But then again, this is about a civil war, so this class might have been commissioned after its start by one of the factions? Or have you even begun fleshing out the overall civil war backstory and how these different ship classes fit in, yet?

Plus, any updates on the Claymore would be greatly appreciated.

True, but so is Subspace Comms. Besides, OT threads aren't that uncommon here.

Just thought that members here might want to see and comment on them.

So, is the Pierce a one-off, or is she a member of a class, the name of which you just haven't thought of yet?

I don't personally mind the amount of black, but the way it is now makes the connection between the hull and the rollbar look a bit abrupt, IMO.

The only actual solid black parts are two small rectagles. It's actually a dark blue broken up will a honeycomb of dark grey and meduim grey. It's meant to be a very heavy armor. I have yet to give the story too much thought yet I'd like to get some more ships done or atleast close to done.

Well them maybe I will post my UEG stuff here. The Pierce is the class of this ship. I will also use the names Smith for Dick Smith. Winston for Stan Winston. Baker for Rick Baker and Savini for Tom Savini. All make up artists.

Well I'm happy with it since it turned out better than I thought it would so I won't be making any changes to it.

UPDATE...
I’ve placed a secondary deflector in the nose of the ship. Also an RCS thruster.

Add some small detail to the hull. I also moved the back RCS thruster to the side and moved the phaser strip over o the left a little bit. this is much better than how I first did it.

B.J. · October 14 2011, 03:15 PM

Nice updates! I really like how that black patch on either side looks right now. The only thing that bugs me is the cutout for the secondary deflector. I think it needs to be integrated better into the overall form rather than just a strict and obvious cutout.

XFozzboute · October 14 2011, 11:53 PM

The secondary deflector is still kind of in the rough stages right now. I just wanted to see if it would look ok and I think it does. I needed to do something to break up the tip of the nose because it was bugging me.

Gotta love the paint job, so far. It's a pretty interesting concept so far.
