Federation Civil War

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Between all the stuff going on after my father’s death and playing Mass Effect 2 I haven’t felt much like doing any work. But instead of do another dresser for my house I thought I change things up for myself and go back to this station. I’ve started to add details to the new module. I decided I want it to look a little bit newer than the rest of the station since it’s just an add on to make more room. I should be getting a new computer in a few weeks. Either next month or the following month.

UPDATE...
Well I wanted to clear my head some and go back and work on one of the older ships that I blocked in and didn’t touch much after that.

I’ll probably rebuild the front of the warp engine. I’m not too happy with it the way it is now.

It’s a small ship but I haven’t decided on the size just yet. My original idea is that after the war this is the first ship that the federation sends out to explore and reconnect with it’s allies.

Spending too much time playing the new Star Trek game. Need to get more work done.
UPDATE...
More details added to the back of the engine.

A close up of the detail.

And I rebuilt the front of the engine.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I’ve started to work out the shape of the hull. I’ve also resized it to around 60 meters I might up to 80 meters. Ignore the possition of the engine it hasn’t been moved into place yet. I’m really happy with the way it’s turned out so far.

I’ve added a few more bits to the engine. Don’t know how much more I’ll add.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I realized I forgot one important thing. Impulse engines, so I added them to the belly.

I’ve also begun to work out ideas for the bridge.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Starting to block in the front end. It’s really rough for now.

A few more things under the ship.

And the start of the shuttlebay.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Added a few details to the Explorer Class. I’m not sure if I’ll keep that blue glowy strip.

That is a nice join between the bridge and the secondary (well--in this case main) hull.

One project I'd like to see is this Carver class secondary hull flipped upside down:

To make it somewhat similar to this:
http://www.jackill.com/Pages/MV-40_Sample_Page.htm
There, the bridge blister is on the bottom--but would be a 360 weapon mount.

Wow...never seen those before. I'm really behind on the Jackill schematics.

 

[XFozzboute]

I had never seen those before either.

UPDATE:
Here is another old ship I haven’t worked on since 2009. I kept haveing trouble with the warp pylon shape but now I’ve got it to a point that I’m happy. For now the ship is only about 150 meters long.

That inset would also look good on the Defiant--er, the Lief Erikson's intakes.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
A bit more done on this ship. I decided I didn’t want to cut a hole into the hull for the Nav Deflector so I added two small ones to the warp pylon. I think it turned out kind of nice.

I’ve also decided to try to flesh out another ship I haven’t touched since 6/23/2009. I just wasn’t sure how I was going to do it but now I have an idea.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I got a bit more detail added. I tried doing a little more of the ship with no luck, it looked really bad. It has some odd shapes to it and all I have is top view image of the ship. It’s kind of making loose interest in this ship for now.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Not much going on here. I’m playing with a few ideas for the bridge but I’m not convinced I like what I’ve come up with so far. I might do something closer to the one the Defiant had. I also added a few more minor details. Don’t know how much work I’ll be getting done. Between GTA5 and a new music program I just got opening Max isn’t that interesting to me right now.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I finally came up with a bridge that I’m happy with and added a few more new details.

 

[martok2112]

Very interesting design. Cool place to put the nav deflectors too.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I started to do alittle bit more work on another ship I haven’t touched since 4/20/2008.
Just getting more the warp engine shape figured out.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
I’ve re-built the warp pylons.

I’ve also decided to mess with a new saucer shape and added a part from another ship I was working but won’t finish now.

 

[XFozzboute]

UPDATE...
Ok. I’ve re-built the saucer section including the bottom. I alsod decided I’m far enough along to move into Mental Ray. There’s a few things that need to be fixed but they are minor. Only thing I need to do is come up with a secondary hull. Not sure what I’m gonna do about that.

Really reminds me of the USS Titan.
