Maybe a little weathering, and maybe faded Klingon script on one of the wings?

I agree. Some weathering and you got yourself a real worthy Klingon ship.  :thumbsup:

Here is my first draft of weathering. I was thinking this one would be a bit cleaner since it seemed like a newer design when we saw it, but if the people want rust, I will make it rain. The one on the Bird's right is the rust added one.

I kind of like this texture. Even if you decide to rust it make a folder with these textures please. It's wonderful.

I like the rust idea, I have images of these ships landed on colonies and on the home world being left to fend off the elements until the warriors need them to fight glorious battles

A little something that someone challenged me to attempt. Any guesses?

Well, the enthusiasm is underwhelming, but I hope the product speaks better for itself.

So far only 7k triangles, but I think it is coming together nicely. I could really, really use some HQ resources, if anyone has a line on some. I have a screen cap archive and the basic stuff from google, but I am really struggling with the hind ventral kibble, and lower arms.

Wasn't expecting that...My first guess was Red Dwarf...

Probably the best reference out there aside from film screenshots (trekcore has a good gallery of those if you need them);


I'd ditch the giant rings floating on either side. They were in the concept art but never made it to the final model.

Good luck building that beast!

That is fraking awesome! This is exactly what I needed. I have to undo a day's work, but I think the end result will only be better. Thanks.

Good luck on this!  The Nerada is one of the most underdeveloped ships in Trek, seeing as the only things that anyone has to go by are screenshots from the film.

Fantastic work on your klingon Koph. I can throw a few tips your way with weathering and panel details if you want to "dirty" them up a bit (though I am no expert).

Shes a real beauty.
