I have been working on this mesh for a while now , I have detailed the ceiling as much as I can .. this mesh is for the Fan Film that the Celestra was built for..
this is my third model I have completed ..(almost)
as with all the details of the Classic show .. there are few, very few ..
I am keeping as close to the look of the show as possible .. and have added a few new details.
the textures on the deck are only temps .. the one in shot was for the Celestra
(for my own interests would you make the model as close as the original as possible or redesign ... keeping some features and adding to it ..
with detailed supports every 10 or 20 feet .. and give it a tougher look ..

No i have half way down .. where it meets a large hatch .. in a sense it will have compartments . I post a picture of what I have in my mind ..
i am redoing this again using the mesh as a guide
where there is a large Hatch .. (as the original Galactica does not have an opening at the far end..) so I am splitting into three parts ..
Area 1. The landing deck itself... on the Inner side close to the main Hull is a storage area .. Vipers can be parked here while waiting to be sent below to the main storage areas .. one deck below .
Area 2. after moving through the landing deck. Some Vipers and all shuttle craft
also any visiting ship (ie:Eastern alliance ship) Pass through a large Hanger Door ..where there are larger Elevators that can lift the larger shuttle craft and slightly bigger ships up into the upper
storage areas .. here you can find the LandRAMs . shuttles. spare parts etc.
Area 3. through a final large hanger Doors into a staging area .. here there are the Battlestar main support craft.. . for Fueling. repair. weaponry for Vipers there must be some form of heavy attack craft ..
what ahead of that you guess is as good as mine .
But if you have ideas the change or even better Improve on this . post it here
please
:flippy:
A minor up date on the plan
but I be interested in your thoughts ..
Great work Taranis. :thumb:
a friend researched the bay deck design and it need a little reworking
I estimate I am 80% done on the modeling .. texturing well that a bit to go yet ..
sorry about it been so dark .... I was in a hurry to get to work ,:mad:
I will post a closer view later
I am building the Laser cannon's and the surrounding area
as always I either locate reference after I have almost finished the design or cannot find any at all
I did have a landRAM from the show .. but lost that and others in a crash a long while ago .. have the build the mother again ..
In an attempt to give fans of the classic show views never planed or designed I want to fill the bay with "STUFF" to give a great sence of scale
..The two devices above the viper and the deck are heavy lifting gear .(needs work on the design)
I am not ready yet to tackle moveible arms..perhaps in the future
so I'm look for ideas ..
the new bsg has flythough though...
great job.. looking forward to your texturing
sorry about the size of the pic .. it was only a test render ..
The texture are by me ..apart from the deck its self . a friend did that a few weeks ago while i focused on the wall and supports .. the bay has gone through
a few refits as I was never happy with the look .. this one I more or less happy with to move on to the next stage . I have tried to capture the look seen in the matte painting used on the show ..
I hope some one can get some use from it.
as I have learn something from this one .. the next one will be better and hopefully quicker
at the moment I am building Landing Gear for the Vipers .. this is what I have so far ..
I wanted to address some issue of scale .. but I donAât want to rebuild this model .. I am working on other projects as some of you may know, but this was calling me to at least make some fix..
I am putting it in this thread as I will at times tweak and add or refine things now and then.
I reduce the windows in the control area .. and added a hatch below and reduced the control panel to the right....
also reduced the scale of the triangular shapes where the Vipers are stored before going to there pens (that's my idea)
yes no problem ...... you can use it or adapted it in any way to make it work in your project.
