Hello, this is actually my first post on this forum and i wanna show you my first selfmade model i have been working on for 1 1/2 week now and it?s not to be realesed yet, because there are at least a bunch of things i have to adjust. At the start i felt like i wanna do a klingon ship, but then it turned more and more the romulan style. So i thought, we dont know much about the romulan vessels between tos and tng :idk:, so maybe on the way from the bird of prey to the warbird, the romulans used the frame of the D7, which they know is a powerful design after having a few of the D6?s out of the short alliance with the klingons.
So i let you rate this and please be gentle ;)
-
the head itself needs an "aztec" (hull plating style texture) along with the windows. a bird badge wouldn't hurt either.
-
The leading edges of the "wings" are really flat, could you shape them to be more like the back end of the wings?
-
not bad for a first
-
I'll echo JTK, Good job, far better than my first ship.
-
Thanks alot for your comments on it. I sat down yesterday after the first response and put on the badge and realized it had no torpedolauncher/disrupterbeam. About the edges at the wings, thats a little bit more complicated, but i agree with it, it needs to be somehow more round. Has someone eventually any suggestions about details, i could add to the nacelles?
-
other than aztecing the actuall nacelles. leave the plasma vents and bussards as is.
also, does anyone else agree with me that the neck either needs a prop or thickened? it looks like it'd break off in a sharp or hard turn.
-
agree with the neck, or shrink the head of the ship, I think either way would look good. Maybe some distrupters on the wings? So far I like it over all. I have designs in my head, I just lack the ability to model lol
-
It?s the opposite on my side, i would be better, if i know what i am up to, so i can avoid some mistakes i make while modelling "free- hand". In fact my organic looking models have a more nice shape, because it seems more intuitive to me.
Maybe we could work on one or two of your ideas together? :dance
-
ditto on the lack of modeling ability (and I'm a Mechanical Draftsman!) I'm used to a CAD format, as that's what I trained in.
oh, shrink the bird badge a hair.
-
Nice start for sure!
The head looks a bit out of proportion with the rest of the ship.
I wonder what the nacells would look like if they were a bit more round versus rectanglular.
I can't tell much about the body of the birdie, what does it look like.
Impulse engines?
Weapons?
Keep up the good work. I am still learning mysel.
-
For your first ship :thumbsup: keep it up.
-
Some protruding weapons and IMHO getting rid of at least half the amount of windows you have in the nose may also not be a bad idea. Nor would the signature large plasma tube not be a bad idea.
