3DStar Trek: Horizon drydock

Hunter G

I've started working of creating a drydock for Star Trek: Horizon. (http://www.startrekhorizon.com/)

I'm modeling it after the Columbia drydock in ST: Enterprise, with a few modifications, as well as stealing some elements from the Enterprise drydock. So far, these are the only reference images I can find:

As you can see, I have a daunting task ahead of me. I've started by blocking in the major shapes, but it might take me a while to figure out what to do next.

If anyone has any better references, please send them my way.

Looks like you're off to a good start. I like the Columbia dock, good choice of inspiration.

Where's that second image from? It's not the show, is it?

That's looking good so far. I've got some orthos and perspective shots of the Columbia dock from Doug Drexler's old blog:

I will forever curse the people responsible for Doug ultimately taking down his blog. :mad: (fortunately, I saved a lot of stuff to use as reference images)

I just found it on Google images.

Those will help me a ton, thank you so much!

No problem. They're just sitting on my computer, waiting to be of use to somebody.

Looks a bit like Madman's 2010 PA DryDock design : ) which also followed NX01 / Columbia drydock in ST: Enterprise, but with modifications; as what might have come before TMP's massive Drydock with its seperate orbital drydock office...I think his design is the perfect predecessor for a dock design in service when the TOS Enterprise was built : ) here >
