been a while folks (2 years, 8 Months 16 days) since i last posted a render here, but i did this for the release of Bob's Enterprise-Refit over on f3d so figured i may as well post it here for ya'll to enjoy aswell,
'Wake me When you Need me' - (See, it even comes with a soundtrack)
So the Inspiration for this was the Turner paining
The Fighting Temeraire my fav painting, and i really wanted to show the Enterprise in that kind a light, a proud noble warship being towed to the reserve fleet, and the music kinda sealed the deal with that sad melancholy
so anyway thats Me Picture choice of 2 res's One Nija (4k) one not so (2k), never know, might get hit by inspiration again at somepoint, but until then ttfn

I doubt they sit around in rocking drydocks watching Countdown for their remaining years.
Always how I thought an early TMP era Federation breakers yard would look, though it could use some barges hauling away hunks of hull plating.
Nice job, love the background colours too!
Seems the board compressed the images, the first is 2500 wide and the second 2077 - any chance you could upload the 4k one somewhere else and link back to it? I would love to have this spanning across both screens!

you can find the Full Ninja 4k version here
was going for more of a naval reserve fleet feel, like suisun bay in SF, but yeh i can see the whole Boneyard analogy working too, i cant imagine they'd just throw these ships away, they'd stick em in holding docks, its not like theres much corrosion in space after-all heh, iirc we kinda saw one once in TNG, but been a longtime since i watched any TNG heh
I've always found it hard to believe that they'd just stick them in a reserve fleetyard indefinately. The more obsolete designs wouldn't be all that useful if called up on emergencies like the Dominion War. They'd do far more good broken up and recycled into new designs.
That wouldn't happen to the Enterprise though, it's quite well known in Trek lore that Federation Flagships are destined for the fleet museums.
That image is perfect, and IAâm using it as the new background for my pc. Dammed cool!
About the mesh, Bob deserves much more than a "thank you" from us, as I said over F3D. The same goes to Jason, who helped in the end with the setup.
Thanks! So hard to find good wallpapers that are large enough
Was the Enterprise A,B or C flagships of the fleet?
Love the colors, always liked good, strong colors. I guess there is more to come then?
I am interested in the ship pulling the Constitution class - any more pictures of her?
All the ships in the image are from foundation3d.com iirc
the 'Tug' is this mesh http://www.foundation3d.com/index.php?categoryid=38&p13_sectionid=307&p13_fileid=554 but JasonT did a few texture tweeks to bring it upto snuff
sorry Darkness, i wouldnt count on it, but ya never know, i might consider requests, i rendered this as a promise to Bob more than anything else heh, i still have a itch to do another image with IRML's E-D sometime so ya never know
Thank you.
