 I think I'll try one of the Tholians next.

Hey Cheese, how'd you like to texture a Tholian?    




Captain KoraH,

What do you have in mind for the Tholians?

The Tholians could use a new TMP era battlestation...

Qapla!

My first Tholian will probably be a ship, either a Battlecruiser or a Dreadnaught, not sure from the drawings.

Ok I tried my ideas and after seeing them in reality, I actually liked the Warbird knockoff idea better  hehe. Just goes to show you that while an open mind is good, ut should work both ways. You never know when something you don't like at first may grow on you.

So, without further ado, here are the latest WIP's.

I think that the underslung wing looks good and makes sense structurally.  It certainly, IMO, doesn't come off as a warbird knockoff.  This design is FAR more elegant than the warbird.  The only thing that is throwing things off alittle bit for me are the supports that run from the head to the underwing.  I don't know if it is their shape or what, but they seem strange to me.  Maybe something less rounded might look a little better.  I hope that my comments there come across as constructive( cuz that's how I intended them  =)  ).  She's shaping up beautifully Captain and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks,
Scott

  Yeah, its great to see a return to the Raptor school of Romulan design... way too many people focus on making a ship 'scary' and lose that Romulan feel.

Those supports look too klingon. Maybe if you removed the sudden size changes and had something of a more gradual tappering?

Ok folks, lets have a look at the final product. I'm going to post these as links instead of images because there's complete views from every angle. I'll be sending the mesh, already sized for SFC3 to TheBigCheese for texturing today, but he's had a lot of RL stuff to do so he might not get to it for some time. Anyway, I think I agree about the gantry struts, but I think it breaks up the flowing outlines of the wings along the axis of the ship, so it sort of draws your eye to the center, which is a good thing. They are not the only angular structure on this ship now either, so perhaps they fit a bit better now.

I agree with Alexander, it could have a tapering... but its geat already... as far as scary looking, I'll get sick if I have too look at anymore Taldren-looking Romulan ships... the Rihannasu came across to me as people who would desire predatory-looking vessels... nothing avian looking about a bunch of green blocks- thats Klingon design style.
Great work Capt Korh, we needed another Romulan vessel.. dont suppose you'd be interested in doing a P'vor someday?

Cheese, send me an email, I lost your address. I'll reply with the model attached. Would it help if I sent it to you in .max format with the various objects seperated already?

If I am guessing correctly, you meant the PKor, shown below in the link.........

I am hoping to convince him to work on this one before he moves on to the cardies. I can see I am going to have to unfurl my checkbook soon lol. Great job on this one, it looks fantastic. I am glad you approached the changes with an open mind.
