Well I'm going to have a go a making a ship for BC and it's one that needs a bit of love. I have the basic shape down at the moment needs detail and smoothing though I reckon I have a good base to work off. Here's some shots.

The nacelles are place holders.

You are right the New Orleans class is one that needs some lovin and if it comes out as good as your Colony Wars Meshes this is going to rock

Nice start, always liked this ship.

Yes! Thank you Mr Ewoks!

Ok i'm having quite a bit of trouble of getting the Engineering section to look 'right'. Any ideas of how it could be done?

Vortex · « **Reply #5 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:18:26 AM »

Looks to be needing more polies. Sub-divide?

Killallewoks · « **Reply #6 on:** July 23, 2013, 11:59:43 AM »

I had a go Vortex though it seems there's a few too many issues with it. I may have to rebuild it in attempt number 3.

Ok so attempt number 3, this time I've kept the two hulls separate until I model the neck for them to join. I've also added some detail to the Saucer such as the Bridge module and impulse engines. Any idea how I could do the deflector housing?

Killallewoks · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2013, 04:31:51 PM »

Apologies for the triple post but it's an update, deflector housing done, neck just needs connecting to the two hulls. There are also some rouge vertices but I can reign them in.

She is looking great

Well done Kill, coming along nicely!

Killallewoks · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2013, 02:46:05 PM »

Thank you gentleman, anyone know the best way to start on a Galaxy style nacelle? I have a rough idea but I just can't seem to get anything that looks right.

Vortex · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2013, 03:21:58 PM »

Damn that looks good. How did you go about building the neck? I'm having trouble figuring that out for one of my ships.

Killallewoks · « **Reply #15 on:** July 25, 2013, 03:57:53 PM »

It was a 5x5x5 box with lots of scaling of different polies until I got the shape right. Basicly I squished it all until it was the right shape.

Vortex · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2013, 12:54:36 AM »

Sounds like a plan. Thankyou.

Killallewoks · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2013, 06:44:15 AM »

Quick update.

mckinneyc · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2013, 07:02:57 AM »

She is coming along well Mr Ewoks

nxadam1701 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2013, 07:48:44 AM »

I agree, I think it's coming along nicely.
If you can't get it identical to what's seen on TV I still think your creative talents will produce a fine unique ship. But something tells me you will get it, your skills are improving model after model.
