3DRhino work in progress

sarabando

Just starting this thread to keep track of my progress and maybe get some feedback. Still working on my Blackships project that will be online for browsing soon (i hope XD)
for those of you who haven't seen my other threads its a project about humans exploring space relatively close to today's date.

tiny bit of info on the ship;
Class: Rhino Class combat cruiser
Length: Aprox 400m
crew: 45
role: standard combat and escort

The Rhino was built after the Odyssey class showed her major weakness in combat roles.

dark blue parts are place holders and sofar only the nose is in progress il have a basic shape up soon.
Front on mostly sensor and shield gubbins

breaking thrusters on the sides and the 2 sensor lances on the right. biped is a 6ft human for scale.

side shot showing forward docking clamps and thrusters ect with the armour plates in their raised state.

Might have to increase the scale of the model, for the crew compliment. Engines will take a load of space, plus crew compartments.
Modeling so far looks great!

sarabando

as i said this is litteraly just the "nose" of the ship

Bigd524

looks good... reminds me of the Deadalus a bit...

sarabando

shes getting bigger adding port side details including airlock and extending her on green bar is for scale (she will be 400m long)

Fre'dni

Looking nice, Sarabando. Sorry about missing "Front". In here, you never know.
I also overlooked cruiser class, read Escort. Nice to see new "near future " models here.

sarabando

i scaled her up so shes the correct scale and then put 45 2m tall bipeds next to it ....the crew seems small lol

sarabando

getting bigger and more painful
second airlock added
generators added
Main railgun added
and gubbinz ect

just under half length now.

sarabando

Nearly done just a few days worth of detailing then i may try and texture it (not looking forward to that :S)

Capt Dave

interesting.

Haturod

Love the impression on the scale of the ship It's what? 500m long?

sarabando

400m but in side shes quite cramped think more like a submarine then the Enterprise XD

Haturod

"I joined the navy to see more of the world! Little did I know they'd assign me to a submarine!"

sarabando

ive been deleting unneeded backfaces on the Rhino so nothing new from her but i thought id chuck up this test render of an alien raider ( the same ones that the rhino was built to fight) also a test for some weapon effects.
