There have been quite a few TOS Defiant models made in the past, but I don't know where they are anymore.  Glad to see a new one being built.  Very clean mesh.  Can't wait for the final product.

It's looking good so far Gmunoz, great start(accurate to the sketch)however I do have a hard time swallowing the antenna's on the bussaric collectors though I think it makes the ship look like a toy model..but then again that's just me.   :P

Don't all cannon models from TOS look like toys?

o.O

*braces for the resounding echoes and pressure wave of purists to scream "how could you?!"

i know some fanboys are gonna try and hang you for this one, but it had to happen, eventually.  besides, I think your the ONLY person working on TOS style ships at all. (and they kick ass :P)

f9th:  the closest I've seen to a TOS defiant before this is the "CL Kestrel"

i made my copy a set of TOS style Bussards, the ones on it don't work right.

Hey, thats pretty nifty! I woulda never of thought of a TOS Defiant class. I can't wait till she is done because I am curious.

...hmm, with Connie - style Naceles and Pylons instead of the Defiant like Nacelles it would look like a Federation Bird of Prey...

There were at least 2 or 3 for SFC, and in 2008 someone over at Scifi Meshes.com was making one, but he's removed all images from his thread and the thread's been dead for a while.  I'm not surprised you're not aware of the other models.

Here is an update.

Debating on wether or not to add some windows.  What do you guys think?
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: Dalek on January 08, 2010, 01:55:10 PM
I think there could be some red stripes on the main hull, it looks kinda blank like that.
Title: Re: TOS Defiant

I hope it will have just as badass alpha strike as the TOS Constellation you made..

personally think u should go more TOS colours looks more tmp to me
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: GMunoz on January 08, 2010, 03:38:11 PM
I originally used my standard TOS texture for this model but it did not look right.  I gave those same textures a slightly darker tint wich made the paneling stand out more.  I'll retexture with the lighter hull and post an update to see what the consensus is.

Here is an update, gave her some teeth.

third, maybe you should start a poll

Don't think I need a poll, was thinking about it anyways and you guys convinced me anyways.

Here is the latest progress, will add the windows next:

What are you going to do for the ship history?

It getting harder and harder to tie TOS versions of TMP/TNG/DS9/VOY ships into the canon Trek prime time line.

Your TOS versions are still wicked awesome though.

Any thoughs of how the hardpoints will be? I'm hoping for tough hull..
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: deadthunder2_0 on January 09, 2010, 08:19:06 PM
I would recommend making the nacelle rear whiter.

....blue pulse phasers.  ;)
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: GMunoz on January 09, 2010, 10:52:10 PM
Hardpoints have already been done.  Hull is tough by TOS standards and yes the pulse phasers are blue.

Perfect! Damn Gmunoz she's a beauty.

Would it be alright to ask for a view of the ship from underneath?

Hey, GMunoz, if you want to use the pulse sfx from the Atraiu, go right ahead. :)
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: Centurus on January 10, 2010, 08:28:00 AM
For some reason she looks a little blank underneath.
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: FarShot on January 10, 2010, 02:36:11 PM
I'd add the same stuff on the underside of the Connie's secondary hull to this ship, behind the sensor dome.
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: GMunoz on January 10, 2010, 04:30:06 PM
what do you guys think about this?

Shuttle bay:
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: Dalek on January 10, 2010, 04:34:40 PM
I'd make the launch area more curved just in case a shuttle flies out a bit wonky.
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: CptBenSisko on January 10, 2010, 04:51:52 PM
Id actually move the shuttlebay back a little ways..as the way you have it..the shuttlebay intersects with the main computer core...i.e. the lower sensor dome is connected to the core which goes all the way up and connects to the helm console on the bridge....at least on the TOS and TMP Connies thats how it is..
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
Post by: Centurus on January 10, 2010, 06:11:44 PM
Agreed.  Move the bay back considerably.

This is just awesome. The changes you made are making her look like a beast. I bet she is fast :D
Title: Re: TOS Defiant
