Terran Empire TMP Era Kitbashes

[Wyrmshadow]

Hello there, new member here.

I'd just like to show off my kitbashes of Terran Empire Movie Era ships. This all started for me last December when I got a 3d resin printer and started looking for things to print. Then I found one guy that did a Miranda-Constitution kitbash... and then things started to snowball from there.

I don't make my own models, I don't have the talent for it. But I do get inspired by a lot of previous work and I can kitbash the hell out of things. With a little mesh tweeking here and there in a modeling program. I never claim to do my own work.

When I try to make a new Terran design, I take the basic Starfleet ship and try to cram as much mega phasers and rollbars as I can without making it look ugly or rediculous. My first attempt was of a Constitution dreadnought with too many torps. I've gotten better.

I do my own textures. I decided that TE ships should be a light rust color with heavy aztec'ing on the hull panels instead of the light blue/white pearlescent color on starfleet ships. I've had these 3d models for 15+ years but only recently have I started using them in my art.

That's a great variety, and I like a lot of them. I think the Nimitz is my favorite though. Hard to pick.

I made a TE version of the Ark Royal class carrier.

This started off as a very low-poly model I found, probably from some sort of game. So I went to work tripling the amount of facets and rounding off hard corners. Adding a grid on the saucer wasn't the most time consuming part, it was putting in the physical windows. My program wasn't doing booleans correctly, so I had to add the windows by hand, it took 3+ hours. The textures took the better part of a 2nd day of working. Not all the textures worked out right. There are some problems in the lower hull around the deflectors I couldn't fix without taking out the text on the spine. The last time I spent this much time on a ST model was fixing up a Enterprise-F a friend of mine made for a ST:O contest many years ago.

Size is 550m x 350m x 113m

She's a big bitch for a TMP era ship.
