on a much happier note: Cool pics of the Hammond scootes, but why not do some work on it? :shiner: (kidding)
I did some work on her last night not much and mostly stuff on the main hull working on fixing and modding it, when I get that done i will be starting work on panels will b e using some pics from the deady to help with that.
I finally got the images saved, this new carrier is 3 times smaller but it can still pack as much of a punch in large groups. It's design is similar but it is only capable of repairing up to 3 Daedalus sized ships at once while the main deck serves as a landing area for much larger ships like scootes Hammond class:D when they are severely damaged or need help going some where far away really quickly. I'm going to work on this concurrently with my main ship, this ship should be the Earth built version of the one I'm building but with certain capabilities *couphsuperbeamcouph* missing. Unfortunately I can't get rid of the flat base like my other ship so I'll leave it be for now adn ray traced shadows take much longer then normal but they look much better then the normal shadow map. I'll give more details as I work through it. What do you think about the design?
Scootes- Thanks, I've fiddled about with the nose since posting them, Been a bit unhappy with the full cockpit canopy so i've done this...
I'll be champfering the lower edge in a min or two, ONce i get over the wacked out craziness of 'Shoot em up'
Actually, dude, i LIKED the "wrapunder" cockpit design(If you have ever flown in a helicopter with a lot of glass in the front, you appreciate the all round visibility it affords you!).
But i'd also like to see where you go with this one.
Bar.
Looking good Lantean_Canuck, look forward to seeing more.
Dr Lee, being completely honest I think I preferred the original cockpit design. But that of course is just my opinion.
Ok then, I have an update, but not a 3d one. Before christmas I mentioned an idea that RJB and myself had been talking about, having our own online gallery that we could post work on, somewhere to have our very own collection of works. Well, I had the opportunity yesterday to get a free .com domain name and as I didn't have anything else to use it for I decided to purchase callingallstargatefans.com. I have since installed both an online gallery and a forum as well. I've not begun properly modifying it (eg the themes and the categories/forums) but I have bridged it, meaning you register for the forum and you'll be able to use that same username and password to log into the gallery as well. I'd love for you all to join up there, it won't take long. I'm off out now but when I get back this evening I'll update them with various categories and forum names that I think we could use.
I'm guessing it's the CASF site under the name Scorpiusdesigns.co.uk? I'm not wanting to join up to the wrong site so i'll wait for the answer before i join.
I've modified the cockpit once again....
I've also, with help from my bro, started fiddling with Bump mapping and all it entails..

This is actually completely independent of my other sites, hosted on a different server. So just go here and sign up. There's no actual site yet so you'll be automatically redirected to the forum. Like I said before, once you've signed up on the forum you're signed up on both the forum and the gallery (if you try and register via the gallery you'll simply be redirected to the forum's registration page).
And as you can see I'm back now, so I'm gonna get to work adding the various bits and pieces I think we'll need.
not seeing it till later in the week *grumble grumble* Spoil it and i'll go all Ori on your a$$!!! :mad:

Dr Lee: Cute little ship :devil: What about sticking a helicopter like cockpit on the front? just my 2 cents
Te he he he! I think you'll love it. The best part was when Rodney gets slimed by the Wraith, that was funny. Ha ha, just kidding, that didn't happen. I just wanted to tease you a bit. LOL! :shiner::shiner:
It was a great episode! and what the hell is Weir up to O.o!! I'll tack on an image soon as well.
That's the question that seems to be looming ominously. It certainly was an exciting episode, one of those, "IT'S OVER ALREADY!" I think it could have gone on another half hour atleast and I would still have said "it's over already?"
I watched Be all my sins remembered on youtube (other wise I want see it till later this year or beginning of next year) & I thought it was great, easily the best episode to date. But it had a couple of what I call "to bad moments"
Definitely the most exciting and "Holy Crap!" episode this year. Makes you wonder how are they going to top this one.

Oh no! I've created a monster!!! LOL! This has got to be a first, a forum thread inspiring the creation of an entirely new site. Alright, maybe not. But still....Anyways, got it bookmarked and am going to register ASAP.
Here's some work I did during class, looks like it'll be slow going for me while I make this T_T, oh well. I added the section thats going to house the engines, still needs to be worked on but I think it's a good add-on and the only structure on the deck is also the hanger for any ships Daedalus size and smaller, I'm not going to change the base design but I'll add on the vital areas after the main layout is done. Also I like this design better then my main one:) and the top section is the best part of it:D and about the similarity to a boat.....well thats only from any angled top view also ironically enough this ships isn't designed for swift movement through water or similar substances XD . Also I'll sign up when people start signing up at scorpius's site, since I want to be sure and that means double posting any updates that are made -.-
Cool beans, dude.
Is there a reason it holds 304s?(Or is a repair and refit station too?)
Guys, i have more news on the Daedalus model kit.
It is expected to sell for about $50(Price hasn't been nailed down yet, but will be in the next couple of weeks).
I got permission from a cg modeller to use a Daedalus render from his mesh on the box art.
Here is what it will look like:

Looks really nice:thumb:. The new ship that I'm making can basically do what the larger version can but at a really limited scale, like the super carriers ability to repair any (well hopefully) ship that lands in the main bay for this one it can only repair ships similar to the 304's and the F-302's and their offshoots or upgrades but at a very limited capacity. It can repair only 2 304's completely if they're severely damaged to the point of falling apart otherwise a decent amount in normal circumstances. So to achieve a decent repair rate on the move it will have to dock with the special (and movable) dry dock (designed for the super carrier) to pick up supplies. How much more should I explain about both ships abilities? And maybe just maybe I may get one of the model kits, what type of glue do I need? And couldn't a version thats already put together be sold as well?
$50 bucks? If i send you $100 will you do the paint work for me? It has been to long since I had to use an airbrush and would hate to screw it up. So if your making a list count me in. even if i have to screw up the paint myself. Assembly is easy Painting not so much.

As i said above, dude, the cost of someone building and painting a model for you is expensive.
You'd be looking at a minimum of $200 extra, and more if extra details are required.
Great news Ive been watching for these since forever, hopefully Tadz wont be able to buy them all as soon as they are out and give the rest of us a chance:D
I am not sure how many there are going to be in this first run of kits, but i expect it will be somewhere in the region of between 20 and 40, going on info i have gleaned about other kits.
If i post it is available, anybody wanting one had better get their backside in gear sharpish!
Bar.
Well, as shown in the boxart, it is being manufactured by Saltyre Technologies(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Haddon industries), but the kit will be sold through the Starshipmodeler store.

Hate to be a nitpicker but the canon name is DSC-304, DSC standing for Deep Space Carrier.
That's ok dude. Your just not remembering it right...
Well the Daedalus was originally the X-304, in the same way the F-302 was the X-302 to begin with and the Prometheus was the X-303.
Geddit?

Yeah I guess it just depends on when the model is set, whether it was before or after they went into full production.
But I also hate to be a nitpicker (actually I don't, hence why I'm proof reading choo's fan-fic lol) but helpful only has the 1 l on the end

and omg @ the fleet all meeting and moving out, then all the fighting its orgasmic
I did some work on her last night not much and mostly stuff on the main hull working on fixing and modding it, when I get that done i will be starting work on panels will b e using some pics from the deady to help with that.
ya know I think that would work, it might look good on it aswell.

I think this version is probably my favourite, somewhere in between the full on one and the smaller one. Yup, definitely my favourite.
Dr. Lee - I like it. . . but are quite confused. Are there going to be blades or something sweet-looking in their place?
the rotor spot on the top of the helo
Any ideas?

You could put a small gun turret there, like a dual .50 cal. Would be a good spot for defensive and off center fire.
Yeah, guns or like a radar/ sensor thingy

It would add to the cost by as much as 400%, perhaps more. A good quality pantjob is not a cheap undertaking.

I didn't make the cover up myself, but i did tell the guy who did about it.
Thanks for that though.
