Hi fellas

I remember seeing an Andorian ship being made before I left, so I am trying my hand at one.. any point me in a good direction for ref's?

Thanks.

The thread that had the Andrian ship is here, I posted a couple of pics there.

I assume you're looking for Shran's ship from Enterprise, since that's the only Andorian ship I can think of.  Doug Drexler has plenty of reference pics...

There is also this little guy which was reused multiple times on Enterprise.  She was an Andorian ship once, looking like she does here, but painted Blue like the larger Andorian ships.

John Eaves has some other concept drawings here as well if someone wishes to make an Andorian Fleet.

   Thanks fellas, just what I needed.

Never seen that second one either Nihilus, good find.

[Nihilus]

No problem  .  I also posted some concept art John Eaves drew of some other Andorian ships.  I don't know if you seen it since you responded before I finished Editing my post lol.

[MarkyD]

Thanks, very nice.. 

Can anyone shed any light on what goes on in here?

I have found plenty of ref's but all seem to cover areas of the mid / rear section..  I have outlined what I think is going on.

[Nebula]

Nihilus gave you the perfect ref links...

especially this one

Ohh that section... well think of it like a jet engine... the top, bottom and rear shots show a good outline of it.
Here are some more....




Maybe you could email drex to get a better view of it?

I don't see how more references would be of any worth after the orthos, especially official ones.

Cheers mate, should have the mesh finished in a few days if I get time to work on it, I am emailing Drex today to see if he would mind showing a render of the section we cannot see correctly.

I have a couple andorian concept models. I had intended to make them to round out the fleet. They are very rough and very low poly, but if you'd like to see them, I can arrange it.

Second one really interesting. Reminds me of a trek Viper.

I would like that mate.

[Furyofaseraph]

Here you are.
Let me know if you want more detailed shots or something.

[MarkyD]

Very nice mate, when I am done with this, I may take on a few of them with your permission, higher poly.  Nice designs.

[Lurok91]

Agreed.  Nice models.    Have a cookie.

[MarkyD]

I have got far enough now to show a wip, the mesh is 100% unified and sits at 4048 Polies. When its finished it will prob be just over 10k as the wings have allot of detail. I am fleshing out the thrusters you see in that problematic area at the minute, but I now have a good feeling about there shape etc.

[Furyofaseraph]

By all means - permission granted with my utmost blessings. Think I could convert them to SFC though?
