3Dredesign of an old model

colbmista

well here is a redesign of a model i made for a custom stargate ship which i am now turning in to an original verse ship its only 3 decks

top deck being the bridge meeting room and captain cabin
('2nd deck being observation/mess and crew cabins
('3rd engine cargo bay armory/storage science labs and maybe a missile room not sure bout that yet

crew compliment 32 excluding the captian so 33
('8 crew cabins 4 crew in each
('1 astro metric style lab
('1 bio lab/medical
('1 armoury
('1 extra storage room
cargo bay
('1 obeseration deck/mess hall

Nice start. I like the design.

small update added 15 escape pods did some work on the back side added some engine detailredesign2.jpg

Interesting design, i like those not-so-streamlined ships

colbmista

i re worked the power core ejection area looks much better now also added a few more things in the back sensor pit nothing special tho just some filler items

added some mock up turrets for placement ideas
6 gattling turrets in the recesssed sections on the side
6 mid sized artillary turrets on the top
40 missle tubes
and 2 lrg artillary turrets are going to be placed on the underside havent decided on the placement under there tho
also is the armourment to much or?

I don't know if it's overarmed, it depends on it's mission. Is it meant to be a gunship, sort of like an apache attack helicopter or an A10 attack craft? If so they hang as many weapons on it as you can. With all those Gatling type weapons, is she meant to attack lots of light targets, like massacring infantry or is she meant to serve a defense role, shooting down missiles and such?

With a lot of weapons she might need several dedicated gunners, think on that too unless she has a hel of a lot of computer control. Could she be a heavily armed troop transport meant to carry a force of elite troops to the ground and support them with fire and defense?

Think on what the ship is meant to do and then ask yourself if she has too many guns.

colbmista

its more of an escort role and the gatling turrets are more of a defensive role shooting missles and fighters also this is space so no shooting at troops haha unnless they are in fighters

colbmista

k i think i have the dimentions

H=12m
L=105.5m
W= 46m
3.5 decks
40 missles
8 sml artillary turrets
6 gattling turret
and 2 lrg art turrets
15 escape pods

also is that to small for the dimentions or?

I like the engine exhaust ports, especially the lower ones. I don't care for the 90-degree plumbing, though.

(That's probably due to my run-ins with the 90-degree plumbing in my house.)

Nice detail work so far.

colbmista

made the location of the frontal airlock which is used for docking at stations it has a steel rolling door to cover it when not in use i did the mock up in in the mess/observation room remodelled the med art turrets added another gattling turret on either side making total to 8 and added some other details here and there still need to figure out some sensor pit details for the bridge section there are no windows it is all veiw screen type stuff.

Always liked this design of yours Colb....

colbmista

thanks dr lee me too, well heres not really an update but a wireframe of what i have so far.

colbmista

what color of engine glow should i use for my verse?

engineglow.jpg

Dr Lee

White or yellow...

Sanderlee

Jazz up the intensity and the green might be interesting! Not the blue, tho ... too bright and it'll read Trek, not bright enough and it'll read "window."

evil_genius_180

I like the yellow glow. Though, the green is nice too.

colbmista

i remodelled the engines to make em closer to what the original ships style was still not sure on the engine glow color tho

Choices choices....

First off, VERY interesting model. At first I thought it was some type of shuttle or maybe a tug or transport of sorts.

Second, engine glow thats a hard choice. Green or Red kinda reads as alien for some reason. Blue is a good choice, but it seems itll always be associative with Trek. Yellow and white can be read as light illuminating from windows.

My opinion, how about blue with some other colour as a sort of tint/noise to it?

Colbs, I kind of like the purple because it's a rarely seen color. Nice work on the model so far. :thumb:

colbmista

yeha the purple is nice and thank you

this is awful, just like you said about all my 3d warehouse models, "colbs". you should tear the whole design apart and start again, the general shape is unrealistic and the cahnces are that engines powerful enough to propel a starship may well be glowing most brightly in regions of the EM spectrum we cannot see. also you have an awful lot kore crew than would be needed on a starship as by the time technology like this is even remotely possible there will be a heck of a lot more automation. on top of that i am assuming that this brick of a craft is nto atmosphere capable but if so why bother to sort of keep everything within that shel, if it does not travel through air why would it matter if you equipped it better and bolted some of the stuff outside of the hull. if it is supposed to fly in the air then why does it have absolutely no aerodynamic features and look like a slightly angled box. if i could i would give this one star(in grahams number of stars)! remove the spam from my 3d warehouse models and i will remove this from your thread.

it is space based it doesnt go in atmosphere and what spam are you talking about? and 32 crew for a small 3 level ship is quite small carrieres have like 10 decks and 1500+ crew not to mention this isnt just a fight and flight vessel there are science labs for studying things it is very multi purpose so honestly there should be more crew then 32 but thats all it needs and honestly dont take other site issues to other sites its childish.

Colb, the design is coming along nicely

SF, if you are having a personal issue with Colb take it to PM or inform the mods, don't hijack his thread like a little brat.

rojren

I like the purple too.

colbmista

decided to change the detail on the back here is what i got so far

the 1 star ratings on every single model of mine on the 3d warehouse, if i could contact you there i would but i can't.
also it was you who took a disagreement on this ite about how i should model my own ship and used it as an excuse to give 1 star ratings to my models, now you go back and 1 star all of them.

Whoa, who took a dump in your cornflakes this morning?

What makes you think you can air dirty laundry from other sites over here? Take your silly feud somewhere else, or better yet, forget the whole dumb thing and concentrate all that energy on creating cool stuff.

@Colbs, don't be an asshole.

Judge Death.

guy, I get a little disappointed when my work gets ignored but I still don't get this pissy...

colbmista

redid some more of the back sensor pit detail and decided im going to go with the green engine glow sinse it isnt that commonly used.
