well , start a new thread for all my various ships that i'll be cranking out, and to make it easy, slap them all in this 1 thread, unless its a major build (ambassador, galaxy etc.)
So first up, is a Akyazi class! I've been wanting to do for awhile (even have a resin model of it from.. oh.. a decade ago (and still unbuilt.. for shame) just haven't gotten round to it till now (and drooling over Basill's one... love the ones in the space dock I have that one as a Wallpaper at work!) .. had some time to kill at work and started on this thing.. spent a long time to get the saucer right (PITA!) and moveing from part to part
got the saucer, support struts, engineering pod, and pylons (still details and vents to put in, but smoothed out..) next is the ever chalenging naccelles.. especially the TMP era ones... textures are temp... not even uv'ed yet..
so.. Pictures! more latter..

Looking very good so far though!
so some pictures, and i'll continue slowly on this
Thanks for the comments!
so now, Pictures!
next is all the detals.. all the basics are modeled, now for all the bits and vents and panels on everything
for now
Pictures!!
Now that you have the basics out of the way, details really are the fun part.
Impressive.
yeah, allready built a TMP shuttle for another project, now i can put it in the "bat cave" part of the ship
The saucer and the naccelles were the hardest to do, getting the shape right.. now to build the variants of the saucer and nacelles! ( oh please not right now!)
haveing fun, and will continue.. Thanks for the Comments!
more work on it today, Enjoy!
moving along slowly, still have the back of the saucer and the shield grid to put in ( tuesday maybe...:flippy:) then the fun of decaling and texturing... need to build a space station for this thing.. tmp era one.. have a comunication/radio telescope station, but need something bigger maybe like the j class that the constitution class could ( barely) fit in from the starfleet musieum.. something of a home base for the akyazi ... and her sisters.. we'll see
for now Pictures!
I love that shuttle. Much further along than mine got. Interesting, the "dashy" deflector you have there.
details yes... finishing that darn pylon.. not so much.. that bottom vent was a pain due to the twist.. should have planned it out better in the begining.. live and learn!
I built the shuttle when i built my (now defunct) excellsior.. and use i when i'm modeling in this time period.. took my time on it, so turned out well
so left to do is the sheild grid on the saucer and a few here's and there's and then i'm down to texturings..! should be this week end finished.. ( might.. who knows...should have plenty of time on it..)
So now Pictures!
And Thanks for all the good comments!
The detailing on the underside aft of the saucer is especially top notch!
Lolana, Hawaiian for Hawk (appropriate for a perimeter action destroyer/frigate)
.. well docking ports are done, and added some more lights so ya'll can see the details of the ports, and the underside torpedo laucher
Some decaling, ncc and name decals on some places.. the dorsal saucer is next for the name.
other than that.. not much.. next is more text decaling, and then the shield grid (yes i'm delaying on purpose.. no love for the grid!)
for now Pictures! Enjoy!
so some name.. bout it.. most of whats left is the shield grid and thinking of a lounge window setup.. and thats bout it
for now Pictures!
yes.. i've already corrected the forward phaser bank.. its centered now love how you find out that you messed up on renders
Thanks for the Coments!
Pictures!
well, finished the shield grid for the ventral saucer.. looks good, went faster than i thought, learning from the top side how to speed it up..
sorry bout the quality, 1 i had burn overnight... and took hour 13 min to render.. while my work computer takes.... 15 minutes to render the same one... 2nd is just preview quality.. sorry for that.. gotta feed the gremlins sometimes... my home computer needs to be upgraded....whenever the hell i get some monies!
anyways..
just some here's and theres and texturing and she's done!
for now.. Pictures!
and added another, with the shuttle turned on to show it..
More latter!
whats done..
side cargo port is in
lifeboats are placed.. need to work on the color abit..
lounge windows are placed above docking port.. tried multipule versions of windows on top below the bridge docking port.. nothing really looked that good.. but this one has the simpleness to it and similar to the one in the TMP..
and finally, the phasers are updated.. using the JJprise as insperation.. got tired of the phaser nipples... (pun intended)
other than that... not much left (yes i know.. been saying that.. keep finding stuff to improve. which isn't bad )
so Pictures! and enjoy!
as for comments.... I can hear you breathing! Say Hi!
Have you thought about rounding the corners on the lower deck windows to match the upper deck? Maybe it's just me, but they seem to clash a little. Something tells me that if they went to the trouble to do one set like that they might do the same for the others, if not for structural reasons then for sheer aesthetics.
Either way, it's all coming together very well. I LOVE the shuttle and the little aft cargo details. But that is what my mindset tends to gravitate toward anyway. Great work!
not to much so far today, done some lighting, and added the lounge.. didn't have any trees or bushes on file,and that they would balloon the render to imposible right now... so the lower botanical garden is just another lounge right now.. but bigger than the upper lounge..
nice pic of looking out the upper lounge!
more latter!
EDIT: added an ortho for those of you that like those!
Is there any particular reason why the impulse deflection crystal is scaled like that, that you are aware of?
Oh also...just a tiny request...with the awfully deep looking docking port, would it be possible to make the walls of the lounge a bit, err thicker?
Right now they look oh so fragile that I wonder why they went through such trouble to make the docking port safe
