About the white color... I really want to differentiate it from the Federation ships. My Klingons have a Rust color, the Feds a Blue/White color. I'm going to try a few things...
how about the color of oxidized copper? Not saying thats what the ships are made of, but maybe that sort of greenish color really old pennys and church steeples turn?
Alright..... I've been working on this, and I think it's done. Some of you are going to like it, and I know some will hate it. It's different, sure enough. Here goes... So, what does everyone think? EDIT: I just realized that the vent covers on the bottom are untextured. I just fixed it.
Looks good but change the pannels to a gray or somewhat dark green now it kinda looks like a Cardassian/Romulan hybrid ship
Hmm... I think it would be too monochromatic, then. I was trying to make it flashy. Who knows what Cardassian ships look like in this time period, anyway?
Eh...I don't like it. There is way too much of that copper color, and it still looks like a brick wall.
I like it... Most of the ship looks wafer-thin, which would make it easy for the Federation to blow them into space dust... As it should be... All is right with the universe once again...
Can I make a request? If yes could you model it with the with the wings arcing up like a real bird of prey's wing does, or maybe a gentle upward arc? The reason I ask is the TOS Romulan crusier had upward angled nacelle struts. It differentiate more from a Klingon cruiser. I am also getting Cylon toaster kind of vibe from the bridge pod with grills or windows on the sides.
Well, this ship is done, so I won't be messing with it much more... but I am planning on building a Bird of Prey to go along with it. It'll be smaller, and look more like we're used to. The cylon thing is totally unintentional... and when I went back to compare, it seems like they aren't as similar as I rememember the shapes being.
it loses some of the art-deco promise of the unfinished model, but what do you expect from the romulans? cheap thieving knock-off bastards...
Hmm... Needs more green in the hue, and a 'bird of prey' design needs to be on the hull somehow. Also still think that it needs something in the central part of the 'wings' to add some heft, even if only to conceal the impulse chambers.
While I'm not that much of a hater of the copper, I'd say tone it down a little, maybe thin the strips/string a little? So it's not too overbearing on the main hull colour. Maybe it's just my perception of how the colours come out, but it looks like the copper overwhelms it when it doesn't seem like it's intended to do so. However, structurally and arrangement wise, I say you've nailed a very sweet design Come to think of it, the copper doesn't seem to look bad at all on the underside, but it might look weird having one facing have more copper than the other.
