USS Sulu

[King Class Scout]

this idea was invoked by Baz.

Most of the OS characters have a Starship named after them in mods.  someone's missing, though.  Hikaru Sulu.  so, I've decided to skin a ship for his sake.
one thing I need, however, is a ship to skin that won't require major texture repair for creating a scratch registry.  i have P81's excelsior, but the textures are intimidating.  I also need a proper "color" to use that will acknowlege Sulu and George Takei without being offensive.  no, no rainbows (it's allready been done).

First piece of advice is: Don't use p81's Excelsior. There are far better models out there.

[King Class Scout]

P81's is the one I was talking about that would be too hard to repair.

[King Class Scout]

i was going over the models i DO have, and I think I might have found a way to do this tribute.
I also have Starforce's Enterprise B, and I believe that would be a lot easier to edit than the original P81.  who does those textures, anyways?

usually a thread made in this forum actually has a picture of some sort being posted in the first post

[King Class Scout]

okay, finally.

these looke a lot more garish in the MPE

I think some might find yellow offensive.

Shuold've stuck with rainbows. xD

[King Class Scout]

why do you think I haven't made this permanenet?  i was actually thinking Imperial yellow (the color used by asian royals), but, other than red (weddings), and Plain white (mourning), there's few colors you automatically associate with anywhere in asia.  any suggestions, people?

i wouldnt say its a bad model though, P81 had skill and alot of it, that ship dates back to 2000 if i remember correctly for SFC. I still use it myself as i love his work

On a suggestion from Baz, I have attempted a new color set.  here is the new scheme.

I have the registry number for the ship as well  NCC-20437.  once the colors are approved, I will go ahead and do the registry, wich will be a bigger challenge

note to Starforce: you forgot to put any speculars with this.

For the TNG/Titan-era, I'd love to see rengers' Ecclipse-Class being dubbed the U.S.S. Sulu, (in Trek Lit submitted-to/published by Pocket Books or on a Graphic Novel cover from someone @ Wild Storm.) 

[Nebula]

You mean "DJ Curtis" not "rengers."

[Hellsgate]

Right. DJ Curtis. My bad. I apologize.

why chnage the colours? blue was fine? ships dont get diferent colours cause of their registry...

[King Class Scout]

1. the model I used had allready been recolored once.  badly. the Type Two excelsiors should be teal colored.  this one had been dyed the same Ink Blue as the type one excel
2. I didn't have the werewithal to create a scratch ship at the time
3. needed the Practice.

I've since dropped the idea, as I agree with Hellsgate that it needs a scratch ship.
