Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

[JSnaith]

My thoughts: the bridge window is a necessity; mainly, it is the on-screen version, and secondly, it reimagines the WNMHGB exterior design. YMMV

In order to do it, I need to build a set to put in there. I can do that, I have the ability, but it adds a lot of polys to the mesh, especially when I am trying to keep it simple and download friendly. Eaves' early concept didn't have the bridge window and had straight pylons, rather than swept-back ones. Anyone who plays Star Trek Online and has the Legendary DSC Constitution can use that version. In fact I use it, so it is an option.

As I say, I can create the set, and have hold up real good under close inspection, but that is a project in of itself. So I am vetoing. We know that they move away from the window anyway eventually

you could do that thing where you find a good photo of the bridge from directly in front, and make a little box, in the bridge area, whatsit,

I did think of that, but to hold up to close inspection, it would still require some set pieces.

I know, people are disappointed, but to coin a phrase - "I'm building this ship..."

Anyways, more later

 

[JSnaith]

Updates - apart from the name and reg, the saucer is pretty much done -

More during the week.

 

[JSnaith]

Neck is done, moving on to the secondary hull. Will block out the nacelles and pylons soon -

More soon

 

[JSnaith]

Shaping of the secondary hull is coming along...

No more work on this today, hospital again. I may - or may not - be admitted. Will let you all know later.

More soon.

 

[Mage]

If you need to be admitted, take care!!!

They sent me home, with adjusted (and some new) medication. Options have been discussed, realities have been confronted...

I'll be back at the coal face later this week.

Realities confronted sounds pretty intense. Big hugs brother. If you need a talk...

I'm ok, I just need time to process all the info. I need surgery, but - it's complicated. Can they do it? Maybe - so they are having a meeting to decide if it can be done, and by who. And what happens if it can't be done, and when if they can do it should it be done, and where and... Yeah. Needed some downtime.

Thank you for the offer.

Updates, nacelles are blocked out. Yep, I've been studying the original design Eaves did for the DSC/SNW Constitution. Comments also welcome.

More soon.

I'm definitely a fan of the straight strut. Even the secondary strut, it looks like extra bracing similar to Enterprise era Klingons, which is removed when the structural integrity field gets better. Little details count in world building.

Good work!

Hi gang,

Sorry for the delay in posting.

Had a phone call from the Hospital, and yes, they are going to operate. It's complicated and risky - but would extend my life if it works. I'm meeting with the surgeon soon to have a chat about what will be done, and what I need to do to get ready.

The rest is in the hands of the fates.

As for 3D work, I have messed around with a few projects, but I am finding it hard to concentrate with all this going on. So, and with every intent - more soon :-)

 

[137th Gebirg]

Be well and good luck with all that.

 

[Michael]

Fingers crossed for everything that’s coming, @JSnaith! I hope everything will turn out alright.

 

[blssdwlf]

Wishing you the best outcome @JSnaith

 

[JSnaith]

Thank you

That's some beautiful work and I love how you are keeping the original concept for the nacelles.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

All the best Jayru may you come thru with great success.

I will meet with the surgical team soon, so we shall see what they have to say.

Went back to an older project and did some remedial work on it, the USS Ranger NCC-21179-A. She's been fully retextured with updated maps, some errors have been fixed, and the deflector dish rebuilt. As per the original, she still retains the shuttle bays and shuttles I built for her:

I may, someday, get around to sorting out the saucer sep business. But for now, I'm happy with her.

More soon.
