U.S.S. Nakamura (Ambassador class)

[ryo80]

Hi everybody!

I've been browsing around here for a while, but finally signed up and figured now was as good a time as any to start posting some of my artwork. I've been working on this Ambassador class ship for a bit over a year now, and though the exterior modeling is about done, I was planning to go back and texture the interior rooms. I'll post some renders of that version when it's done.

Beautiful work. I always liked the Ambassador-class better than the Galaxy-class.

 

[Blip]

Hey, me too! Loved watching this progress on SFM, ryo

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

Excellent work.

Also totally agree about the Ambassador being better than the Galaxy, a far better looking ship

 

[Starship]

Welcome abord Ryo!

She looks a beauty, you know. As I said you over SFM, I just feel the missing of the "lamps" inside the bussards.

Oh, and you have a pm there.

 

[Forbin]

Lovely!
I'd love to see the interior of all those rooms with windows in the ceilings.

 

[Patrickivan]

Ya- I really like this... All but the impulse engine... Looks cartoony against the rest of the ship.

 

[Albertese]

Yeah, my ONLY complaints would be the empty look of the Bussard collectors and the blue impulse exhaust. Elsewise this is a great looking build! That top image of the ship from, I'm guessing, the 7:00 position looking up at it slightly; really lends the ship a sense of scale and majesty.

This is beautiful!

This is really good. I look forward to seeing the interiors.

Best Ambassador class Renders I've ever seen

A true beauty. I always loved the design.
Great work.

 

[Unicron]

Nice.

 

[JJohnson]

Very well done on the 3D mesh here! I think the Ambassador originally had a red impulse engine, though; that aside, you've done a great job! Keep it up!

 

[FatherRob]

Great job on the renders...

One thing that they make me feel is that the Ambassador design would be better suited to angled pylons as opposed to proto-TNG ones. Something to raise the nacelles a bit higher and, at the same time, create an opposing line on the ship.

Nice work.

Maybe, maybe not. But I've never really seen the pylons as proto-TNG, more post-Excelsior.

The Enterprise-C, the first appearance of the Ambassador class ship, consistently had a blue impulse engine.

This is a beautiful model! I guess she was named after an ancestor of the Admiral Nakamura we saw. He'd have been a baby when this one was commissioned...

^ Yah. And looked as about as weird as those white-lit ones on the Ent-A in TFF.

Huh. I'll be damned.

That is some excellent modeling work. If you have a gallery where we can see any other work you have done, I'd suggest you post the link.

My only gripe is the apparent lack of aft launchers. OTH, I do like how you added aft phasers like those depicted in Gustavo's Enterprise-C schematics.
