I hope not. I'm sure they will trickle out and be posted each time Brez finishes one. The entire pack will be offered whole in SG4 perhaps with a few new releases. I'm probably like most and dont want to wait that long for these eye candy looking models. ;) Oh, and if you prefer one over the other, the blue and the red crystal textures will both be offered, one as default and one as an alternate.

The blue is really cool, the red just looks more SFB-like.

Perhaps it could be that the different colors are from different fleets? ;)

I never thought of red to be more SFB-like as much as brown or standard grey or something.  The blue, however, seems like a more-exotic feel with the other colors, giving new life to Tholian ships rather than being standardized hull and something unique that the Tholians truely needed (outside of the ships you see in Klingon Academy, which sort-of helped out with the idea of Tholians using a unique, strong crystal hull that is stronger than even Gorn hull), in which you'd rarely see in most interpretations of Tholian ships (my guess is).

I always thought the ones in TOS wer kinda copper colored. :-[ I may be wrong. That is why I said red made me think SFB-ish.

But the blue is unique indeed. I'll probably use both colors- one for the disruptor ships and one for the photon ships!

Brez,

I just did retexture your SFB Tholian BATS using mostly BLUE Klingon Academy Amythest TBCH textures. I kept the red [fumbles for proper terms and draws a complete blank] DS9 style power core for good contrast and I capped the very top with some of the green textures from the Sapphire. In game, SFC: OP that is,  the retextured TBATS now has a cool shimmer effect caused by the textures on the mesh when you rotate it. I bet it would look better in SFC3 with the glow effects. I have to get some pics that can do the retexture justice...

Qapla!

I still have the link to your old page Brezgonne, and possess almost all of your old Tholians, to which I still play to this day (privately, of course)... I beg of you to release these new Tholians, they are stependous. I loved your old fleet, but you've outdone yourself this time.
I was curious of you would make more of them, maybe another fleet like before... the NCA is my favorite so far... do you think you could make a DN sometime?
Its really nice to see you back again Brez!!!

I don't mind releasing them but the problem persists that I have no place to release them TO. I don't have access to my web page anymore and can't contact anyone there to fix it. So I need a new web space.

I finished a very odd looking ship this morning, a Hex cruiser.

Basicly unless I can find some web space you guys will have to wait till SG4 is up since the models should be part of that package.

good call KF...
whatcha think, Brez? Get an opprotunity to look at those site? C'mon,  I even waited 24 hours to post this! Ask Azel how small of an amount of time I used to be able to hold out without harassing him!  ;D

Sorta was hoping for somewhere I could set a web page up but I suppose those could work for the time being.

Which model do you guys want first?

Freewebs?

-=shrug=-

I dunno, dude. I wish I could help, because these models are too good to keep locked up.

Here's the latest completed model from Brez. The Arachno TCA. The rear shot isnt pictured, but it's the best looking.

Execellent! That's a great design... I like, personally, more single hull designs, but, that one above is simply fantastic! :notworthy:

Well, Dizzy, there's your darn green one! ;D
