Doing a Daedalus Class Variant :)

[floodcasso2]

LOL!! That's when the tractor beam is being installed too!

 

[Patrickivan]

The more I look at it, the more I like it... I have a couple of minor issues. The horizontal portion of the nacelle pylons that come out of the spine, and the bulbous keel of the secondary hull... But that's just me. It's a fine looking ship.

Starting detailing of the bottom of the sphere.

and some more

I like the two antenna in front of the dorsal. Perhaps this could be the Lovell after constant modifications.

 

[Kaiser]

Awesome

I was actually thinking of it as an experimental precursor to what eventually became the Daedalus class. But not a bad idea either.

 

[Chaos Descending]

As far as I've ever seen, the bridge is always at the top of the sphere in any of the blueprints and model photos of the daedalus class that I've ever seen.

I guess that goes to show how much attention I've been paying!

Nitpick duly retracted!

So does this mean that the Magellan is not actually a sub-class of the Daedalus, but a different, but related class?

It's definitely related to the Daedalus. My two theories are that it was either a pre-daedalus prototype, for what eventually became the Daedalus class, or it's a Daedalus class ship that has been heavily refitted over it's service life, and has now become an experimental testbed for new technologies.

 

[Santaman]

^^ Refit, it looks more modern than a Daedalus...

In any case its a great looking ship.

 

[floodcasso2]

I'd be okay with that. I'll consider it a Daedalus refit then.

Now back to modeling windows on the bottom of the sphere

 

[floodcasso2]

Just a bit of progress in motion for all of you! (click to play)

 

[Santaman]

Nice.

 

[Tiberius]

Very nicely done!

 

[Kaiser]

Awesome vid!

 

[Venardhi]

Ooh ooh, dogfight with the Roosevelt! Ooh Ooh!

 

[Blip]

Love it! The BSG-style camera motion video made me chuckle too

 

[Kemaiku]

Very impressive

 

[floodcasso2]

Ooh ooh, dogfight with the Roosevelt! Ooh Ooh!

haha, wouldn't that be something?! I wonder if I even still HAVE that mesh anymore.
