AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
I've started with my version of the Terran SPACE ABOVE AND BEYOND carrier.
The first two renders shows the Mass-Cannon in transport-position - the last two renders in firing-position.
I've made some modifications to the original, because in the show the Mass-Cannon moves through massive objects (and I didn't like things like that). I set it also on a rail, because it should not "hover" over the flattop. So I made also the base of the superstructure a little bit smaller.
My goal is to create some different versions of the carrier.
- The (nearly) original 2800-Design (USS SARATOGA)
- The 2700-Design (An earlier version in my Fan-Fiction SPACE 2064)
- The 2900-Design (A newer version in my Fan-Fiction SPACE 2064)
The 2700 and the 2900 version will have different weapon-configurations. I hope it looks good in the end.
I've seen a few weeks ago, in the episode SUGAR DIRT that the USS EISENHOWER has two more hangar-bay-sections in the front-sector and also two mass-cannon and not one, like the USS SARATOGA. Aside from that the EISENHOWER has it's Rocket-Launchers both in front of the flattop, between the mass-cannons.
Maybe I create also this carrier later - so I've modified a downloaded top-view and side-view and found out, that the EISENHOWER must have a length of 576 Meters (round about). The SARATOGA has a length of 525,4 Meters.
Original Design:

Oh hell yeah!
The only other S-AaB models I know of are hosted right here at 3DG!

Yes, cool mesh - I've used it for a scene in 2008.
But for my Fan-Fiction SPACE 2064 I also use some versions with different modifications. The 2700-Design and the 2900-Design.
When this mesh is ready I plan to create two of the smaller vessels. There are no meshes to find in the WWW - just a few fan-side-views. I've made a bunch of Screenshots from the two cruisers (in the red and yellow frames).
From the SCHWARTZKOPF (green frame) I have the mesh from this site. Cooler than the original-design for my taste.

Yeah!
So - the mesh has over a million polygons now (and I have just started).

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
That series has to be one of the hardest to make meshes for, since the only sources I know of is screen shots, and that quality is lacking (ie, not HD).

Unfortunately true.
But - thank God - I've average skills in sketching...
It's not easy - but it's possible - to create usable orthos by myself with a pencil and scan it later, to build this both cruisers.

I have it on DVD.
The open end is a horror for fans of the show - but a great chance for fan-authors, like me.

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
Some more details.
I think, I have it for the flattop, aside the position lights (and maybe a few little details I have forgotten now).
Next step: The middle-part, the hangar-sections, the engines and the lower antenna.
Last step: The lower details, the position lights and the four pylons with lights and 50MW-Laserturrets.

Many thanx.
So - the color-textures are on the mesh. Spec-maps and bump-maps are missing jet. At last I will add the textures fot the Reg.-Number and the Name.
Some minor modifications in the end and 56 point-lights for the lamps in the Layout-Editor - and the SARATOGA can go into action.

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
More to drool...
I've made my own version of the Gunship-Class.
Without any canon-measures, I used this measures for the ship:
- length = 243 Meters (with antennas)
- width = 140 Meters
- height = 78 Meters
In the coffee break I 've made also my own Chig-Carrier.

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
Okay - two Renders with the complete Battlegroup.
The first pic is more a beauty-shot.
The second scene is from my Fan-Fiction, where the German Battlegroup arrives at Planet "2063-Yankee", two days after Vansen manages to land the cockpit of the troopship safely.

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
Another day - another mesh...
I've started with the ISSCV/APC Troop-Transporter.
At the editor-picture you can see that I've, unlike Jeff, used 4 different objects for the cockpit. Because I'm not a friend of UV-texturing. It's better for me to handle it for texturing in the end by creating it this way.

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
Details, details...
The FlaK will follow and also the two guns under the cockpit and some cockpit-details. Also some details at the wing-thruster are missing yet and some at the tail.
When I have the cargo-module I'll add the bulkhead at the rear part of the cockpit and the inner part of the tail. Also the cockpit-thruster and maybe the clamps.
The mesh so far...

Re: AEROTECH Design Project 2700, 2800 and 2900
The Transporter is nearly ready.
Now I'll create some cargo-modules.
I've turned the wing-thruster into flight position for this render.
