I have another small model that I will need for "Axanar" resp. "Prelude to Axanar" - a Federation Rescue/Escape Pod.
It should not be particularly big, around 2x2 meters, 2-2.5 meters high.
Since its for the Pre-Tos Starfleet ships, the top surface has to be pretty smooth, and it has to have 4 sized sizes. The sides and bottom can have more detail, probably along the lines of a Defiant Escape Pod:

These are the ships they would originate from:

WeA’ll probably be getting pretty close to this one if the model allows for it, but only for a very short amount of time.
Textures would be nice, but not more then one texture sheet.
As with the Klingon Workbee, I canA’t offer any money compensation, but IA’ll try my best to get a modelling credit in the "Axanar" resp. "Prelude to Axanar" credits for the modeller of the chosen model.
I hope this finds some interested modellers and has similar cool results as the workbee thread.
Thanks & have fun!

No, the top side is basically part of the hull - the whole thing would be shot away.
Very nice - thank you for trying this! I think it is a good start, but it is too "square" at the bottom - maybe you could tweak that a bit more into the direction of the pod picture that I posted, make the thrusters a bigger element - at the moment, they are too tiny.
I would also break up the very linear shape of the main body a bit, making it more interesting - with some inset areas.
Also, it would be cool if the top had rounder edges. I guess railings at the edges could serve as a guide for the launch, but they would need to be open at the bottom and with a bit more profile. The side detail could be a little more detailed and clear - 2 cylinders with oxygen should be enough, with some cabling or wiring or stuff like that.
It would be great if you could work that in. Thanks a lot!

Excellent! That looks like just the right amount of detail.
Just two small adjustments - I would like to have the top corners a little rounder and the whole plate slightly bigger (it has to cover the railings at the side) and I would like to break up the large surface on the side with some indent.
I hope you can do that, then it is on to texturing. Would you do texturing as well? If not, I can take it from here.
Tobias
Indent on the large plate, or the main body of the pod?
Also, my texturing isn't that great, unfortunately.
The indent on the main body.
No problem with the texturing, I can do that.
Thanks

I could polish it even more, but itAâll have only 3-4 seconds screen time, so I think itAâll work just fine as it is.
Look out for "Prelude to Axanar" to see it...
That's pretty damn awesome! New desktop background!
