It's my impression that the most popular Chandley was the TMP variant. TOS versions exist, but for my part I like the TMP version :)

I would suggest the Destroyat to bulk out the TOS fleet (since it is one of the more recognizable, original, TOS ships) but it doesn't seem that there are any on Battleclinic. I wonder if anyone did this ship?

I understand that the chandley is a TMP ship, and its a popular one at that. However, if you go through the thread - you'll see that I have over two dozens TMP ships. Rather than just add yet another one, or not having a chandley at all, I'd rather work it into the TOS fleet. Its not its traditional home, but it will work.

I don't know how I feel about the detroyat - I'll let the thought fester.

Actually - does anyone have a backup of Desty Nova's works - i mean, the entire site?


Why, yes. Yes I do.

http://www.4shared.com/dir/2652637/8ef6259e/sharing.html

Eventually I'll get the site back up. In the meantime, here's the models. There are a couple of models that weren't part of the original site. The links weren't working for a while, but they seem to be fine now.

They are,
FCL_Akula - self explanatory
KaremmanTrader - A model that was made by request of Raven Night, IIRC
lpf_blk - a black retexture of Desty's Lyran PF that I did (in a previous life ;))
Orbiter_Class - a Fed tug with a CVA pod
zdn_tos_DN_092503 - Desty's original Kzinti DN. The zdn.rar above it on the page is the newer and official release.
If Romulans aren't cowards, then why do they taste like chicken?

Alright. Eventually I think I'll grab some of the SFb stuff to fill in the ranks of my TOS Stuff - but that'll be a while from now.


D7 is done :-). Probably going to go to the Gull next.

Before and after

 ;D I hope that you are talking about Terradyhne's upgraded FASA Klingon Gull with the torpedo tubes in the fore and aft...

Nice work so far!

She look sweet. On the subject if Terradhyne has don a version of a ship you want give his first consideration. That man has a special skill and his models always look higher poly then they are.

Yeah, I'm seeing that his model is much better than Korah's. I wonder if he has any plans to make all the FASA beasts.

That's something that has always bothered me about models, it often feels like things don't really fit with each other - things that are supposed to look uniform, don't. Thats what inspired me to make the retextured Fed fleet - and why I've moved on to the Klinks.

Yea I know the feeling. Before my PC quit one of the things I was doing was reworking the textures on all the cannon TNG feds of P81 to get a uniform and darker look for A2. not done yet but 2 of the Glaxies are suppose to be in the new fed comp mod as hero ships

Is the teal the texture that's being replaced? I dunno... you've 'dried' out the Klingons by taking out all the green and making them all warm colors. Somehow the level of teal you got now clashes with the orange.

I liked the D-18 being dainty in some ways compared to the D-7. Are you going to do anything about that huge honking photon tube/deflector out the front or are you going to keep it as-is? Even the L-9 model I got, which added a photorp to the command pod, had it recessed into the structure rather than jutting out the front. *shrug*

Love to see when this is finished. Also looking forward to the fleet shot that'll come eventually. What's after the D-18?

The teal is going to be replaced, yes. Here's a new shot with the other texture replaced with a "blank" texture.
I actually like the photon tube on it.

As far as "drying them out" I don't think thats the case. I don't think that even klingons should be afraid of a little colour - i mean hell, this is a color scheme that is already Canon - just not applied to anything but Qonos One.

well I meant 'drying out' in the sense of leeching out the 'wet' colors (green, purple, blue) and replacing them with 'dry' colors (orange, red, brown). I've got no complaints on that because, other than looking cool, it means the Romulans can be green again.

I too prefer my TMP Klingons in Grays, Browns and Reds. Hell the only reason the got green ships in the frist place is that the Bird of Prey was supose to be a Romulan ship and the model looked horide in white.(like the TOS BoP was) I figured that the Klingons started with the green after Nerindra III as a was to taunght the Romulans.  Kinda making it look like there ships were bathed in Romulan blood.

I just hope the Romulans and Klinks don't become indistinguishable from one another :\

Foas, I guess you decided to pass on the Destroyat?

The romulans are going to recieve a D2-pack-like look for the TMP era - Green with copper and greenish-teal glows (or possibly orange).

I'm undecided as far as the detroyat - I havent looked for a quality base model yet.

How good are you with bird drawings? THen again I suppose you could ask Atlom for help :D

As far as I know there isn't a Destroyat model in existence. It doesn't look hard to kitbash though, something I wanted to shoot for in my first foray of modeling.
