U.S.S. Salcombe - Star Trek Beyond

Now I REALLY want Eaglemoss to do a treatment of this one. Sadly, it’s probably not likely to ever happen at this point. They seem to have put the brakes on all NuTrek ships. And it probably wouldn’t be as good looking as this one, either.

 

This is looking fantastic.

How big is the Salcombe in comparison to the Enterprise?

 

They are roughly the same size.

 

That's fantastic!! I assume the bridge will have a window?

 

Yes. Indeed.

 

What font was used for the registry number?

 

I used "Airborne Pilot" but had to slightly modify the 7 and the 1 to look like what's seen on the Enterprise.

 

Really loving watching this ship come together. Looks absolutely great.

 

Outstanding work.

 

I really almost bit off more than I could chew with this this Salcombe, but I'm making it work. The Enterprise-A has a very sculptural form, where the secondary hull, pylons, and nacelles all blend as one piece. I am carrying that same aesthetic over to the Salcombe. This took me four attempts, but I think I have it.

 

Very graceful lines.

 

Well, as I draw to a stopping point for the weekend, I have completed modeling the entire upper side of the Salcombe except for the nacelles.

 

That's looking pretty amazing.

 

I really love how the bridge is not centered on the saucer.

 

Ah! You just reminded me I forgot to model the bridge window in!

 

This is fascinating to watch come together!

 

I agree wholeheartedly...

 

Long time no progress. However, a milestone. The topside modeling is now completely finished. I just gotta detail the bottom of the saucer and the secondary hull, and then modeling is finished.

 

Damn Daniel! A nice Saturday night surprise!

 

I like where this is headed. Can't wait to see the end result !
