Hi All!
Been.. ahwhile! I like the new look!

So, been busy on the 3d printing front, have a few to show right now, and am working on a few as well.
Last one I finished is the Engle class from Discovery, T Plana Hath!


Short update, but will be coming here more often in the future!
Thanks

2 months? What have I been up to!

So, I've been off and on on a number of things, and have given up for something else, but lately, have been working on the Merian class that is the USS Plank from the full circle fleet, designed by Mark Rademaker.

Started this 5 years ago, but abandoned it, but now came back to it. ALOT of detail, and not even close to being done.

So more coming soon!

Hello All!
I really need to take a bit of time and do some WIP renders of what I'm doing.. Just my work computer is a wimp and crashes on renders.. ugh..

Okay, the Olympic class from All Good Things!
I am done with it!
Made this for printing so some details are abit exaggerated!
This one was weird as in.. there are almost ( a side shot from a book or something) no orthographic references, found a Ton of good pics of the actual studio model, so its probably off in some ways, but is quite faithful mostly!
So here we are! Thanks!

Not the best fan either, but Had to do it!

So..
So, back to Star Wars for abit.
Have 2 ships here, the Tie Phantom from the old Star Wars game,

and the Tie Defender from star wars rebels, both the early and the final late version.

Done with both ( or all 3) and all up on shapeways! (Shameless plug!)

More Hoover!
Getting close to done, some details left to do, and all of the saucer windows to do, but coming along!

More!
now is the X-83 TwinTail star fighter from Star Wars Legacy Comic. Supposedly a successor to the venerable X-Wing from the Empire era.

Linky:

No much in references, some comic drawings and some rando's ortho's which were.. meh.. but a starting point.
So , 5 hours in. at the point of figuring out details and "Greebling" it up!
so finaly a Wip!

Thanks All!
Finished up an old file, was like 60% done, but wanting to get away from trek for abit..
This is the Tie Predator from the Star Wars Legacy Comics. Quite a good story, sadly got yanked when the Mouse bought it.
ABY 130-138 I believe, so 100 years latter.
This is he empire's latest Tie, has a hyperdrive, shields. Comes in 2 variants, the regular Tie front and the Slit windows.

All done with it, next is going to be its companion, the X wing of that time. Stay Tuned!

Been working more on the Emmet Till, more done on the saucer, small bit on the Eng hull.

Done a sizing, its about 740 meters, that is the saucer at about the same size as the Sovereign.

I'm pretty good at taking existing stuff and making it, even improving, but sometimes making it from new is a bit of struggle.. but sometimes have good ideas. This one is a bit of that, trying to figure out crap.. taking awhile

So more latter!

Thanks!

So next is the Frying Pan.. Err.. Freedom class from Wolf 359 Fleet.
Says 430 meters, so not a small ship, but not to big either.
Took some stuff from the Probert C model, Bridge area is a re fangled version, I think it looks good. Now the only thing is the Impulse deck.. No idea where it is on the model, so stuck it on the rear of the saucer.
Didn't follow the Eaglemoss version.. Sometimes there okay, other times its Meh. This is a Meh, i'll do my own details
My version, the bottom doohickey at the bottom of the nacelle is a hard point for pods, towing etc. .. Eh why not!

thanks all!

Hello all!
Continuing on my Enterprise era, and Early Federation ( I like that Era! So many possibilities!)
First is the Enterprise Era Cruiser.
Sort of not really based off of a John Eaves sketch.. Just took the concept of a saucer and pylon/nacelle placement.. So sort of like a "Reliant" version of an Nx.. sort of.. its smaller saucer than an Nx..
Wanted to do a Non ventral landing bay.. but had to think of a way for the pods to land Without tractor beams guiding them.. So.. Magnets!
Pod comes in to land and lands on an open area on a magnetic cradle/pad. then the pod is brought in on the pad/rails into the ship. There's enough room for the pod to rotate 360 in the bay. also made a cross rail for the pad to bring a pod to the other bay.
behind the launch bay though the garage doors, is a cargo bay with 2 more pods ( i put them hanging from the ceiling for room)

So this is done in the modeling phase, rooms and textures are next though, don't know when I'll get to them, my wimpy work computer doesn't do textures well without crashing.. ( Need a new more powerful one.. one day!)

So, thanks all!
