Hey guys,
it's been a while since i posted my last vip here, so i'll give this one a try.
Not much to see, just roughed out the base shape and done some plating etc.
I'm not shure about the scale, so i added a tiny little viper i modeled some months ago *wich is hard to recognice, because it's very, very small compared to this ... hum... BS?!*
Have fun.
Cheers Stephan

I think the design would be better with the new style of engines instead of the big box ones at the back. But that just my opinion.
I cant wait to see more tho...keep at it mate.
Todays update is a really small one but it's an update. Enjoy. Added some mor armorplates to the flightpod section, reworked the main "anti-ship" guns etc...
Also there's a question i'll have to decide soon. Wich way should i go: the one way with three main engine pods or the other one with the newer designed engine pods and 4 of them. ... Help is needed in that way.
And, this is not a VIP Thread ... it's simple a WIP-thread .... sry for that mistake ^^
The design is very interesting, I like the engines pods of the pic on the left, the upper one, it is closer to engine poods from the new serie. As for the ship, it has flight pods, it has a big size, so it is definitely a battlestar:D.
It is nice to see more ships that looks from the First Cylon War era. Keep it up!
The viper is ....hum... to small / the BS to large ?
I haven't really made any thoughts about dimensions or something else bevor modeling, so the BS is about 2680m long now (!) compared to this viper *witch length is ~8.4m*
So maybe the whole thing is a little bit out off scale.
The Structures on the underside is .... i don't really know but it looks great to me.:p *the drawings, don'T know if i could match it if modeled !!*
Some days earlier i found that picture *see attached drawing* at www and i found that it would be nice to do a small mod of this. Don'T know who drawn it and to who the kredits have to be payed. So please be kind if i have done something wrong with posting this great work here^^
But on that drawing my model is based ... thats all.
Aslo i have to say thank you for your replies.
Actually i have reworked the ribs and the armorplates have to follow realy soon to.
I haven' done any decission of wich way i will go with these two versions. The "larg" one or the other one, so i will model them both at the same time.
Cheers,
S.
Your model seems considerably larger than any of the canon battlestar designs. Since you didn't have a plan for them... pointy little bits like those on the underside of the drawing are usually labeled as sensors or communications equipment of some sort, id est that's the usual explanation.
I added some more plating and reworked the ribs. Also added the Shuttle and "Colonial One" modeled by COXXON *both is available here at scifi-meshes.com included in the low-poly BSG flleet thank you for this great work!!* to the scene so some comparsion is much easier....
IMO, the lower structure is a nice addition, but it doesn't quite follow the streamline of the ship.
So you think we have seen all from BSG universe ? I don't think so ! But thanks for your reply.
@ Morpheus: Thanks for your reply too, but who cares for streamline designed spaceships ? :devil:
Anyway.
I made some minor thoughts myself about where these Battlestars would be built if they are built ^^. So i modeled the base of an constructionyard, called Hephaistos.
Here the first small stepps.
Have fun !
I must say that the ship is huge too, it is almosr a citystar or maybe a siegestar.
The drydock concept is very interesting, it is obvious that you followed some bits of the style of the Scorpion Fleetyards, and that is great because it gives an authentic feel to your station.
And those structures over the ship been build, I bet many people think that structures like those are the ones over the engines of some Valkyrie type ships seen in Razor and started the discussion about a version of the ship with rollbar (since some design concepts of Valkyrie show the ship with rollbar), but I'd rather say no more about that topic because it does not belong to this threat.
I like that you gave your ship a proper station
Keep it up! :thumb: .
