Slight tweak on the color pattern...

Dude, the bridge/grilles and the tail have the same color

the tail is the correct one, then downgrade it with that brown the bridge has afterwards ;)

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #262 on:** January 10, 2013, 06:09:52 PM »

I already made the changes.

Adonis · « **Reply #263 on:** January 10, 2013, 06:16:31 PM »

You misunderstood me. The bridge dome and tail have the same base paint color.

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #264 on:** January 10, 2013, 06:28:22 PM »

Actually, the tail from my ref pics is a bit redder.

You can add that reddish tint, and also the black "dirth" later on layers.

Ok, so then which one has the correct color background, the bridge or the tail?

Bridge. The added coloring is mostly lighter on the bridge than that base color, and darker on the tail.

Nice model.

The only thing that I can see that is off is that you have added mesh detail to smaller parts but its lacking in the larger smoother surfaces. Kinda looks funky that way.

Nice work though, the model looks great overall

Are you talking about the small rectangular pieces on the bridge module ?

No, about the darker (brown) colored bridge structure.

I guess I don't see it

Here's some updated pics of the textures on the wing, and some stuff on the bridge... mainly the grills (perhaps that's what you guys were talking about).

I have it in red on the pic below, and my own CGI Galor model for measure with the coloring. The Tail, Bridge structure and the grills left and right of it, and the grills on each side of the aft hull pod and the 6 that go around the aft of the hull have the same coloring to it. The difference is in the colors used to brake them up so they don't look dull. BTW, on the drexfiles renders, don't believe everything you see, some parts have screwed specularity (the white colored bits on the orthos are an example).

Wait, it's not supposed to be that smooth? I had spent a whole week pulling my hair out to get it that smooth. I know I've thing though, I'm going to fall in texturing this thing.

TheConstable6 · « **Reply #274 on:** January 14, 2013, 05:27:13 PM »

I don't care whether you succeed (though of course I hope you do!) I just love looking at your amazing mode!

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #275 on:** January 16, 2013, 07:45:04 PM »

Starting to get some work done on the head.

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #276 on:** January 18, 2013, 04:54:55 AM »

A little bit more work done on the head. Sorry for being so slow with this. I have a bit of a busy life due in part having an amazing girlfriend. I also want to point out that any future modeling work by me will be aimed mainly at the canon alien races in Star Trek. I want to flush out as much of the canon designs as possible before starting off with my own concepts, including TOS, TMP, and TLE (although, the Galor, mainly the Type - 1 and 2, were first built in the middle and later half of TLE).

Looking good, only think I would say is turn down the opacity on the Aztecing

Adonis · « **Reply #278 on:** January 18, 2013, 09:46:10 AM »

The thing which will eat you alive with this (goes for the studio version too) is the panel patterns. They are brushed color shades, which are hard to replicate, plus the dirt which I personally did in 3D painting mode in Photoshop on my one.

I hope that means Jem'Hadar Attack Ship, Hunter-Killer and the Ship Killer Battleship.
