[WIP] Walshicus' Ships

Walshicus · 15 Jul 2023

Wasn't planning on doing this one, but felt like the challenge. I don't really like organic shapes... but here's the Shrike from Picard Series 3:

That largest Xindi Reptilian ship looks very similar to a Protoss Carrier! HAHAHA it's now canon, yay. lol

I love the kitbrushing and all your work so far man. For the World Raiser do you know why they moved the deflector to the saucer and not keep it where it was in Prime? Do you know what is there in its place on the Engineering hull?

Do you do commissions Walshicus?

Great work on the Shrike, Walshicus. :thumbsup:

I'm also not sure whether I like the design or not. For the mystery of the first few episodes of season 3 to work, it needed to be an unrecognizable design.... but in retrospect, I wish it hinted at least slightly at the classic Dominion designs. Would have been a nice bit of foreshadowing as well.

Looks more Xindi-Reptilian to me, but a different kind of Dominion Bug Ships is possible (If I take off my glasses)

I think some off-screen stuff implies it's just a design that the villains purchased for deniability purposes.

Hah, yeah I think the original model for the Xindi ship - I'd purchased it to save some time with the set - was meant that way. Before I textured that is.

Tbh I'm half tempted to redo it now that I've got a good workflow in Substance.

I don't really do commissions at the moment. My stuff all goes into my Stellaris mod.

Would love to see your take on the Rakelli from SFC3. I have a couple kitbashes of their ships on here from when I was trying to flesh out their fleet about ten years ago.

Same here! The ones I've seen look more Star Wars-ey (while not a bag thing at all, I love me some Wars). They look out of place next to some classic Trek designs like BoPs and Fed Saucer-Stardrive-nacelle ships.

Zelph · 22 Jul 2023

I had a power outage that killed my computer earlier this week, otherwise I would try and dig through to find the concept art in the game files. At least I think there was some for them.

Walshicus · 31 Jul 2023

Someone showed me a picture of a ship from the latest Strange New Worlds (I'm not really watching it) and I thought it was interesting enough to have a go!

In the absence of anything but a single ship name (Kelcie Mae) I'm naming the class "colAndor" after the colAndor scrolls from beta canon, with it being a joint Starfleet/Tellarite/Andorian design.

Hello:
The ship is very much an oddball, but the modelling is awesome!

Where are these beauties getting relesed?

MarKenn · 5 Aug 2023

Nice rendition on the Shrike. Not my all time favorite design, but it's so good at what it does that you can't help but admire it.

I know how much you hate organic shapes, but have you ever considered the Etanian Order ship? You should be able to find the screencaps at ex astris scientia under an article that screams your name called "Obscure yet Interesting Ships". I'd link it but I don't remember our policy on external links

Huh, that is an interesting design. I looked it up and I totally don't remember that episode.

Walshicus · 8 Aug 2023

Yeah reminds me a bit of the Hierarchy designs...

admiral horton · 9 Aug 2023

r u going to release these models, would love to render orthographic views for my Devainart database

Walshicus · 9 Aug 2023

Right now they're only in my Stellaris mod:

Steam Workshop::Star Trek: New Civilisations

steamcommunity.com

Happy to share higher res renders of specific ships (with whatever lighting you'd prefer) if you have any requests. Can't guarantee speed though.

Terra_Inc · 10 Aug 2023

That's so cool.

I never really got into Stellaris, always looked like a fun game to me though.

dvatreknerd314 · 12 Aug 2023

Have you considered taking a crack at either the Alydian ships or Hotari ships from Resurgence?

Only the last one in this is Hotari, the rest are Alydian. All the ships in the last image I think are the same class, and there aren't any better images that I know of

Walshicus · 12 Aug 2023

I've been wanting to play it for a while now but just never got a free moment. I actually have some Tkon events in the mod but not sure how Resurgence might... Change them.

Thanks for posting the screens!

admiral horton · 14 Aug 2023

really all the Star Trek models large pics and good lighting pic size at least 3000x3000

Walshicus · 11 Sep 2023

Been a bit busy with RL stuff lately, but did manage to have a go at the new Romulan ship from Lower Decks. Scaling seems to suggest it's a bit smaller than the concept art design it's based on. I've named it the Heracis class Heavy Frigate.
