Majestic's Low Poly Modelling Thread

Those are looking good... Almost makes me want to dust off my TOS stuff.

Thanks Syf.

I have now finished the Sherman and it's ready for hardpointing (not that I am going to do that).

Here are some screenshots along with a fleet scale picture to show you all the sizing of the ships against one another.

I've never liked the look of the TOS ships, but I gotta say, it still managed to look quite good.

Thanks Trekie, some TOS ships are quite bad but then again the series was done in the late 60's to early 70's so the technology wasn't as good as when the TNG and the TMP movies were made.

Hence why I am changing the designs slightly but trying to keep to the classic feel of TOS.

Well this weekend I have been spending nearly all my time of these models and thinking about them a fair bit and made some decisions.

For starters each variation of the Federation will have a different fleet with only the Constitution being standard in all three fleets.

Secondly I am making each race slightly different looking (and not just texture wise). For example the impulse and warp nacelles will all be different to one another. That is the Federation ships will have a different style of nacelles to the Terrans etc.

Some sides will have more than one style of nacelle to show the age of some of the vessels. For example the Federation Daedalus class has a different nacelle style to the rest of the fleet as it is the oldest ship they have still in service.

Here are some images of the 3 versions of the Constitution together to show you want I am trying to do. I still need to change the Terran's warp nacelles more and change either the Federation's or Galactic Orders impulse assembly as well as finishing the texturing of the Galactic Order's warp nacelles (no inside grill added yet).

Here are some x-era Romulans I have recently done, the nacelles are by Syf and as is the Bird of Prey just modified by me. The Skyhawk and Hlai are both designs I've seen for SFC 3. Textures by WickedZombie.

For anyone interested, the TOS Federation, Terran and Galactic Order models (ms3d only) are now available.
