Title: TOS-Stations W.I.P.
Post by: Shino Tenshi on May 09, 2009, 05:16:44 AM: Hey guys.

As they will most likely be available for BC too, I thought I could as well post them here:

I plan on doing these stations:

V-Type (http://s2b.directupload.net/images/090509/5h3egqly.png) (a.k.a. Watchtower) -done
G-Type (http://s11.directupload.net/images/090509/frx4rb2g.jpg) -currently under construction
A-Type (http://s11.directupload.net/images/090509/nmzd576m.jpg)
K-Type (http://s3b.directupload.net/images/090509/cx8ms2rh.jpg)
C-Type (http://s1b.directupload.net/images/090509/2qs96lgs.jpg)
F-Type (http://s11.directupload.net/images/090509/w925x8az.jpg)
Starbase-1 (http://s6b.directupload.net/images/090509/qa5nnsan.jpg)

Maybe I'll also give the new STXI base a shot.

Okay, now on to the real thing:
(no fixing/smoothing done, yet)

Post by: majormagna on May 11, 2009, 01:50:34 PM: Me likey! Always needed some more TOS stations.

One nitpick/observation, the V Type station looks very similar to the J Type station (AKA TOS Starbase Type on EAS)

Other than that, brilliant work!

Post by: Phaser on May 12, 2009, 09:14:18 PM: What's this? Someone else is making a TOS-era Federation station? Blasphemy! :P

Just kidding. Anyway, this looks pretty good! I wouldn't use an aztec pattern, since starfleet didn't have those during this era, but you definitely have the hull color scheme and font down. Nice job!

As an alternative to the aztec pattern, try subtly weathering the station--barely visible changes in tone from one hull panel to the next, coupled with subtle smears of varying hues does wonders for realism. Adding a couple minor scorch marks helps too. Just my two cents. ;)

Title: Re: TOS-Stations W.I.P.
Post by: strekship on May 20, 2009, 04:51:04 PM: I like the A-Type. Seems sort of like a TOS style Regula/Orbital Complex/whatever else they used that model for.
Title: Re: TOS-Stations W.I.P.
Post by: Shino Tenshi on May 24, 2009, 01:06:51 PM: I needed a break from the G-Type, so I decided to start with the C-Type.
I never thought this little bugger would be THAT easy! :D
And she will also serve as a base for the K- and A-Type bases.

The mesh is finished and polycount is 8.3k. 8)

Post by: Phaser on May 26, 2009, 09:00:17 PM: Nice K7 you got there. I see you're going for the more angular look for K7, as some people have interpreted K7. Looks good!

I also like the details on the X-Type. Keep it up!

Well, here's a shot of the Starfleet-HQ anyway:

not to mention a Ptolomy and a Saladin, this thing's huge. The inside is supposed to contain a complete biosphere, parks, malls apartments there's even an artificial cave complex. keep up the good work.

What do you mean with "more angular"?
As you probably know, shots of the original K-7 model are scarce. While many people have interpreted the design in the same fashion as you...
(http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/space-station-k7-sheet-3-s.jpg) (http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/space-station-k7-sheet-3.jpg)
...Greg Jein, the man who designed the new K-7 model for the DS9 episode 'Trials and Tribble-ations' went with a more rounded appearance:
(http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/k7.jpg)(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/5/5f/DeepSpaceK7-2267.jpg)
This is because, in addition to the original on-screen evidence...
(http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/9/9c/Deep_Space_K7%2C_TOS.jpg)
...it is believed that the original K-7 was based on a Douglas design for a modular space habitat, made of unfolding wedges:

(http://www.cloudster.com/RealHardware/SIVBStage/Models/Display09.jpg)

Anyway, as I commented in your bridge thread, that's a nice design. It fits well in the TOS era.
