Gladius is on its way out, rendering the last texture now, plus I've got to rescale, make a break model and hardpoint her. I also decided to make the Hermes, which is the Saladin without the extra hull structure and the extra dishes (It will take but a few minutes to re-render the GI)

Tech week for Sweeney Todd starts tonight, so I don't know how much I'll be on for the next week. Depends on how rehersals go (ie: if I'm going to just be sitting on my ass most of the time, because then I can have my laptop out).

Btw,

I have opened up upload privileges to a new category on my site (Guest Real-time Models). If anyone wants to upload their models to my site instead of battleclinic they are free to do so. Once uploaded, you have to wait until I allow it, but at least it is somewhere else on the internets.
Make sure readme's are included.

I have to make a few changes to the site, in order to make it slightly more intuitive, but in the meantime, I'll fix anything that is off when I approve the downloads.

While dyna was down I released two more ships: The hermes-class destroyer and the romulan Gladius-class Frigate. Check my site.

Another TOS rom out the door. This time its Atolm's Imperium-class converted into DN duty (I felt we had enough CA/BoPs floating around and not enough early DNs).

Get her here

So I discovered some scaling issues. The gladius is way to big, the Imperium is way too small, etc. They will be fixed when I have time to breathe (meaning, tomorrow, unless im at the theatre at 10am since I am off work).

However, I did take 20 minutes to bash up this.

The Skyhawk/Seahawk


I took WZs sparrowhawk, took off the nacelle rollbar, bent the wings down, and I bent the command boom downwards so it doesn't rise up like the sparrowhawk.

Here's the original SFB design for the seahawk.

Quite ugly, if you ask me.

I like the design changes but may a make a small obsevation. As I recall the Hawk series romulan ships were supose to have a modular componet system at work for veriants and such. Would it be posible to add hard patches to the aft hull texturs to show the yard access points or is that beyond what you are attempting here?

That's a really interesting (in a good way ;)) take on the 'hawks.  I'm hoping you continue with this design

The Seahawk's a frigate, isn't it? Will you re-scale this seahawk accordingly?

Minor nit picks... Do all the SFB/TOS style Romulan ships shown here use the same warp engine design/type?

Also the texture set looks kind of plain and really contrast the designs you have already done for the other races you've done so far.

Again, as not a huge SFB fan I like the fleshed out Romulans you are doing over the stock SFB designs.

Thank you for sharing these with us.

SFB, like mainstream trek, is a general basis for me. I don't plan on keeping to their ship-design philosophies strictly. The particulars of the modular design, for example, aren't going to be strictly adhered to. The ship-size-classes are also liquidic for me. The sparrowhawk is going to end up being an early BCH (even though there is no such thing as an EARLY bch in SFB).

I will not be using the same nacelle design for all these ships, no.

Oh, point of clarification.
My TOS Rom fleet looks like this so far.

FF - Gladius
DD - Centurion, Warhawk
CL - Seahawk, Sunhawk
CA - Stormbird, Devilhawk
BC - Sparrowhawk
DN - Imperium

Edit: Changed my mind: Warhawk is now a DD, not a CL.

Looking nice! I was looking at the Seahawk/Skyhawk and its overall shape is kind of similar to the TNG Romulan scout/science ship . . . not hard to see the transition between TOS->TMP->TNG Roms if you are looking for that later down the road.

Yup, you're right. I hadn't spotted that. Good catch.

How does everyone feel about the bashes I've made? specifically WZ?

I love the bashes so far.they would definatly find a home in my OP install.It's hard to find really good Romulan ships usable for the TOS era.
