@Rory1707: Thanks!
This office came together quite nicely. I have not watched the show in some time but was the Defiant also blue on the inside?
Yes the Defiant also had blue accents on the interior.
It's really great. The angled walls and windows really are the standout feature, but all the details look great and make sense from a production-era standpoint.
It would be fun if you did up a little of the outer hull and did some images from the outside looking in.
Doing the exterior bits is a bit out of my wheelhouse, I'd love to get my hands on a good model of the Akira to add out there, just like I did with Chris Kuhn's Excelsior for the various Potemkin interiors.
Hmm, isn't it
Thunder Child not
Thunderchild in
War of the Worlds?
And on a related note, give any thought to making it a globe of Mars, only the fictional
Mars with canals?
Yes, on the original novel it was two words, however on First Contact the ship was called Thunderchild, no idea why it was changed.
As for the globe of Mars, that would've been a great suggestion before I called it done.
Still, I'll keep it in mind for another Thunderchild interior down the line.
Last month I was approached by Eric Campbell from The Streampunks to once again help them create interiors for their latest RPG campaign starship, like I had done back in 2020 with the
USS Ross bridge. While I'm no longer doing commissions, I volunteered my free time to help out as I do quite enjoy their campaigns.
This time the setting is an old ship, the refit Excelsior-class USS Pride, last of its class by 2382 which is when the campaign (appropriately titled
The Last Excelsior) takes place. The ship's last refit would've been during the Dominion War, and after said war was over the Pride was placed on the Reserve Fleet. Because of this, I went with a basic DS9-style for the interiors, though not as advanced as the Defiant or even the Lakota. Lots of ship-of-the-week black tape squares all over! I'm very happy with how this turned out, I was able to combine the old with the new in a way that works I think.
And here's the MSD, very heavily based on the one from the USS Righteous in 'Star Trek: Borg'. This was by far the piece that took the most time, and while it's not the most detailed of MSDs, I'm quite happy with it:
Didn't come across as helpful, it came across as condescending, since my post contained the corrected name of the ship, the work it was from and a suggestion to double-down on the fictional aspect by making the globe a fictional version of Mars complete with canals. Plus an emoji letting you know I was being facetious.
