Azle sent me this for the Lost Era mod, along with a "painting" guide...really helps to know what the modeler wants.
Here's a lil look at what I have so far...What ya think?


-
Nice !
-
SWEET!!!
Thanks man!!
-
Thanx!!

Wasn't sure you'd like it...there's just enough difference between the guide you sent and the actual model to make me wonder if it was ok...glad you like!!
-
Looks like a winner to me. You guys got a really nice looking project going here. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
-
Thanx!!

I had the original thought (I think
), but Azel and a few others have shown an interest, so we went ahead and started it.
It will probably take awhile to get it going, but, going by the GaW mod, that's common. This way, when it's ready, people will be ready for a new mod.

The Roms, thanx to Azel, are done...just need to get the rest going, but that's in the works.
-
pretty good dude. I like the different markings around the registrey number.
-

She's looking real sweet man!!!
Thanks again
-
Where was that ship hiding at, I don't believe I ever saw that one.
-
It's one of Azels non-canon designs. Looks to me like a natural progression of the Excelsior style.

Did a little more this morning before football...can't work during football.
Anyway, here's a couple pics of what I have so far...the UFP symbol in the side of the bridge module is my idea...if you don't like, I can remove it. 


-
DUDE that is Awesome!!!
I love the UFP add on...it really gives her an authentisity to the design 
Thanks man
-
Das Boomp!!!
-
Thanx!!
Glad you like it. 
Not really happy with the observation windows...I'll probably re-work those as I go. Probably won't be until tomorow night...had a few brewskis and texturing and brewskis don't mix,lol.

Brewskis or no brewskis, I'm likin' what I see...
-
Thanx!!

I'm trying new things out, which is fun...probably only one here using both PSP and PS for texturing, but can't get the hang of everything in PS yet.
Oh well, whatever works, right?
-
-
back atcha!! 
Didn't do much yesterday, just did the glowies for the nacelles. Tonight and tomorrow I'll be doing alot more, but work unfortunately has to come 1st. Here's a look at it with the glowies:
-
bump...I get off work at 2:30, will be doing some and should have more pics.
-
Cool! She's lookin' mighty pretty!
-
SOOOO SWEEEET!!!!!
-
OK, added a few windows, wanted your opinion on 'em. What size do you see her as? I was thinking halfway between the Excelsior/Ent.B and the Ambassador/Ent.C....sound good?

-
Well, the windows seem to vertical to me. Maybe curve the ones on the left back of the saucer to the left and the right ones to the right. The light blue color h,,,,...try a darker shade perhaps?
But the size you propose sounds good to me.
Hope that helps...
-
I see what ya mean...not sure how to do it so it looks good though...I'll play with it some.
-
Looking forward to seeing more WIPs!

Good luck!
-
The windows look a little bit too big to me, IMO
-
Okay....those are shuttlebays on the back of the saucer :P
My bad if that was not clear...but the windows have got to go...sorry...
-
If you want to add to the mesh by cutting into the back part to make it seem more like shuttlebay doors...by all means man

and again sorry for the mix up
-
Okey-dokey-smokey.

Here's a pic of the saucer...added some escape pods. Hope that's ok...wasn't clearn the design you sent me. I'll get those windows out of there...actually, I was going to ask about putting something else there, cause it didn't look right, but shuttlebays sound good.
What I'll do is, throw the plans into Photoshop and highlight/circle the areas I'm not sure of and send it to you, that way you can let me know what's what. 
OK, here's the pic...
-
Esacape pods are a great add on...I would change 2 things though....First change the color of the Escape pods to a brownish grey...or just a darker grey than the HUll...and second take out the escape pods from the bow (frontish)sides...and just keep the ones on the sides of the saucer...

Thanks Man!!!

BTW...I like the size and color of the new widows 
do you think that windows could be added to the inner saucer wall on the top indent of the saucer too???
-
Thanx and NP on the inner windows and OKey-Doke on the pod color.

Here's a shot with the change to shuttlebays...looks much better! 
-
Looks good man!!!
Can you make the bay doors larger/wider???
and a little less pyramid shaped???
-
-
-
I like what you've done with the darker panels J.. looks excellent.

It's coming along nicely..
-
Aye!!!!
-
Yes! Looking quite nice there!
-

I needed to know
-
You know I gots to Know


-
SORRY!!!!!

Damn flu got me, laid me up in bed for days. I'll be doing more work on her today, sorry for the delay.
(Hey, I made poem,lol)

NP...Feel better man

OK, here's a few shots...made the shuttlebays more square and larger, started on the bottom of the saucer and did the "new experimental deflector dish". Still need to tweak that, but wanted you to see it as it is, see if I'm going in the right direction.
Sorry it took so long to get these up...this damn flu just hangs on and on...feel like I've been hocking up crap for months. 
Anyway, here's a couple looks...


-

Awesome.... 
ok now business 
increase the shuttlebay doors by 50% all around
And you should be good there
Now the Deflector is the right shape...but also must be larger bay about
75% and that should work....but the gold section in between the deflector dishes
is to be 2 vertically placed photon torpedo tubes(on on top of the other)
Thanks Man 
-
OK...was wondering about that part (the gold area)...that's an easy enough fix.
75% on the deflector...that's gonna be tough....the curve of the hull and such...but I'll work with it. The shuttle bay doors...really that big? Just seems a little big for the ship, but I'll do it up and see how it looks, maybe a side by side shot. Also, I'm working on adding the sensor array on the bottom...do you want it to be a 4 prong (cross shape), or a 6 prong (asterisk) sensor pod?
-
OK man...
6 should should be fine 
sorry on the head ach 
but that deflector size is paramount
-
NP man, it's your baby, I'm just the painter!

OK, now, the deflector dish is about 50% bigger here...maybe 60%
anyway, is this about right? I can work with the distortions, though I kinda like the look of it as is. 


Here is the shuttlebays...if this is the size you want, I'll fiddle with the mapping and get it straightened out. 

Also, notice the sensor pod...need to texture it still, but wanted your opinion...ok?
-

awesome 
check you PM man I sent you something that may help
-
just bumping for the awaiting update
