Refit TOS Shuttle Craft

gmd3d · January 20th, 2009, 08:54 AM

After seen RAF-MX excellent Galileo redesign seen at Sci-fi meshes .
I am trying my hand it it too .. but my own version highlighting aspects of the design I like . This is in mind for MKF Enterprise redesign seen at Foundation3d ..

I will add an Image later

evil_genius_180 · January 20th, 2009, 10:14 AM

Oh, quit being lazy and upload some images over here.

Seriously, please don't link to a thread on another forum to show your work, that's asinine. (no offense)

gmd3d · January 20th, 2009, 10:30 AM

That's not my work..but work that has inspired what I will be doing.. but link removed

gmd3d · January 20th, 2009, 10:53 AM

Images Added

I will also be added the inner working too .. but I am not looking forward to the chairs .. one I have the shape as I want it /.. (this has taken me all day) I hope the engines will be quicker ..

Ah, gotcha. In that case, nevermind. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

(now I feel like a complete ass)

The shuttle looks great so far.

Thanks mate .. it took me all day yesterday to get it the way I want it .. I have loads of Ideas for the internal lay out ..

evil_genius_180 · January 21st, 2009, 12:12 AM

I built the type-F about 4 years ago and it's not easy to get that main hull to look right. In fact, I've been dreading ever doing it again. Unfortunately, I lost the old one in a HD crash.

So, I understand what you're saying about that body taking a while and you look like you've done a perfect job with it.

gmd3d · January 21st, 2009, 12:22 AM

Thanks .. I hate crashes when you in the middle of a project .. you can never face redoing it ..

I have a question for all you Trek fans .. where is the Bog ,, or in service the Head .. well I going to try to add something

Well, I was done but that's beside the point. I lost the thing because I didn't back up in those days. And the HD completely died, so there was little hope of salvaging it. It probably wasn't that good a model but I was pretty proud of myself.

That's a good question. You've gotta wonder that about all ST shuttles, especially the little pods on Enterprise (like when Trip and Malcolm spent days in one of those pods.) I'd guess they've got something like what astronauts use but I don't know where it's located.

gmd3d · January 21st, 2009, 04:06 AM

Oh a empty bottle will have to do ..

..........................very easy to model

gmd3d · January 22nd, 2009, 09:05 AM

Update .. the warp Engines

evil_genius_180 · January 22nd, 2009, 09:47 PM

That's pretty sweet so far, Ger. With that odd shape, are you going to work out some kind of landing pad that extends downward from the nacelles? Otherwise, I don't think the ship will land in a very level manner.

Yes I saw that yesterday .. I am giving it some thoughts too .. I may rework the main cabin ..too ..

gmd3d · February 7th, 2009, 04:08 PM

a update .. a complete reworking of the main cabin

gmd3d · February 10th, 2009, 02:10 PM

here is my internal layout so far .. it has 3 compartments .. the main Cabin for crew.. the next one has suits and a EVA hatch , the rear most one has the main hatch ,, the side hatch is a no on this .. (because I am to lazy to bother)

evil_genius_180 · February 10th, 2009, 09:40 PM

Hmmm... somehow, I missed that previous update. I like the Star Trek 5-ish shuttle shape you've got going there.

The interior looks great so far also.

gmd3d · February 11th, 2009, 01:48 AM

its a different approach from RAF-MX, and I wanted a more curved approach after looking at MKFs Enterprise .. the cockpit control area is next once I have that thinks should fall into place for the remainder

gmd3d · February 12th, 2009, 01:11 PM

I have been work on the internal look of the shuttle.. the seats are not mine , but a friend Rigel at foundation3d made them and I am using them to help me setting up the internal layout

evil_genius_180 · February 12th, 2009, 08:26 PM

Oh damn! It's the attack of the clones!!

Seriously, it looks good, dude.

gmd3d · February 13th, 2009, 09:44 AM

I have added the forward windows

evil_genius_180 · February 13th, 2009, 09:49 AM

Nice work. I like the different shape you came up with.

gmd3d · February 13th, 2009, 10:04 AM

Thanks

mdbruffy · February 18th, 2009, 09:03 AM

This is really looking good so far.

gmd3d · February 18th, 2009, 09:30 AM

Thanks

February 18th, 2009, 09:45 AM

I've got one word for ya...

HOLY FREAKIN' COW THATS COOL!

(yah, I live in the south and thus I cannot count! Thttttpt

)

Dude that is really cool looking.
I like the cut away shots with the crew - it really gives a great level of perspective to the ship as a whole.

I can't wait to see this mesh in some images.

Which leads me to the next and possibly the obvious question...
Are you planning on releasing it?

fulcrum · February 22nd, 2009, 08:59 AM

Great stuff

any more detail for the interior on its way ?

Beautiful work Ger, I'm bowled over. Your best yet I think.

Thanks Brian

your work has inspired me to take this direction by adding an interior to my models
