Thanks all for the Liking of the ship! I'm usually hit or miss on my original designs So for those who would like it.. here's an Ortho of it. so you can see it better Thanks!
You've modeled and created some great ships here. I like what you're doing with the Galaxy-class captain's yacht - giving it a warp ring is inspired! Speaking of, the Vlar is pretty cool
SO... more fun! If I'm going to do Enterprise Era stuff.. guess I have to do an Intrepid Some nice ortho's available.. but that's almost it! few here or there perspectives.. But, getting along, referencing the NX alot. ( have to build one of those ..eventually..) So.. without further ado..
So, Doing some other Era, heading to the BoBw fleet from Wolfe 359, This time is the Challenger class! Ex Astris Scientia has it at 390 Meters, which does pretty well, gives it plenty of room, the Ent D nacelle is Almost the size it is on the Enterprise, maybe 10 meters short.. Forced me to make an Enterprise D nacelle.. which.. well.. was hard! So, here we go!
The best part of this design is how the Reliant-style raised superstructure becomes the warp nacelle support. That should look nice on a Discovery type secondary hull wedge... Now, I seem to remember an NX-era ship chart that had a flatter NX-01 saucer with no boxy runners or bow fish (it’s rump secondary hull had all that—but with the sec’ hull on top (ugh). That got me to thinking about the flat “runners” to either side of the TOS Enterprise’s secondary hull to either side of the dish...and how that might be a better place to put a gangway/double door set up than on the refit’s port saucer. I’d like to see you do a flat saucer with the NX-01 refit secondary hull...
Holy crap!! I'm in love with the Monarch.The Vlar is stunning as well. Really, all those designs are great!
Hello All! I really need to take a bit of time and do some WIP renders of what I'm doing.. Just my work computer is a wimp and crashes on renders.. ugh.. Okay, the Olympic class from All Good Things! I am done with it! Made this for printing so some details are abit exaggerated! This one was weird as in.. there are almost ( a side shot from a book or something) no orthographic references, found a Ton of good pics of the actual studio model, so its probably off in some ways, but is quite faithful mostly! So here we are! Thanks!
Thanks! Finished up an old file, was like 60% done, but wanting to get away from trek for abit.. This is the Tie Predator from the Star Wars Legacy Comics. Quite a good story, sadly got yanked when the Mouse bought it. ABY 130-138 I believe, so 100 years latter. This is he empire's latest Tie, has a hyperdrive, shields. Comes in 2 variants, the regular Tie front and the Slit windows. All done with it, next is going to be its companion, the X wing of that time. Stay Tuned!
More! now is the X-83 TwinTail star fighter from Star Wars Legacy Comic. Supposedly a successor to the venerable X-Wing from the Empire era. Linky: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/X-83_TwinTail_starfighter No much in references, some comic drawings and some rando's ortho's which were.. meh.. but a starting point. So , 5 hours in. at the point of figuring out details and "Greebling" it up! so finaly a Wip!
When an X-Wing and a Cloakshape love each other very much.... The Skipray Blastboat never got used on screen. It, not the souped up B-Wing, should have been a ship killer for REBELS
Okay, As said in another thread, I done some back of the napkin math and came up with 2 different lengths for the Cerritos. 1st is using the MSD from the first episode. Taking a 4 meter deck height comes to round about 450 Meters. 280m Saucer Length. 2nd one uses the windows from the exterior. Same 4 meter deck height, comes to 680 Meters in length. 420m Saucer length. 3rd one is the somewhat accepted 3.5 deck height, and that is 575m length Exterior one is well thought out with the windows lining up nicely on the outside. So untill someone "official" comes out as a length, then I'll err on the 575 Meter length for my 3d stuff. So.. Here it is! Going off the Msd that has a side and a mostly top view, and a whole lot of screen caps ( Happy animation is well lit! ) so this is my "Best Guess" at blocking it out. Saucer has all the bits on it, need to figure out the shield grid and sensors etc. rest is still working on. Any info or tidbits would be most appreciated! Thanks!
So! More! Okay, bit more details in the Warp, and the Navigational deflector area, and started placing the windows,.. the bridge window is 3 meters tall.. huh.. So without furthera ado
Ok.. While nerding my 3d cerritos model .. Took the time to count windows.. So 910 or so windows in the whole ship. Sweet! So, Almost done on the 3d printable version, odds and ends left but pretty much done.. i hope! so! Ack! forgot to turn on the lifeboats! owell, next render..
Your Cerritos looks awesome. I love how you subtly bring it more in line with the live action ships. Very good job!
