Topic: Hydran HMS Heroic for download

[James Formo]

um early pic- Havn't started on textures- but at least its purple.   I have about 16 mini projects so this won't be done for awhile.

Its my 1st non-Fed ship from scratch.

Editing this so the d/l link and latest pics are on the 1st page as well as at the end.

Ships in pics available at my Yahoo club.     http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sfcmodels/    look under files.

Thats a wonderful place to start James... I always like the Hydrans, they always had class with ship design. You reflect said class perfectly- keep up the good work!!  

[James Formo]

Thanks Reverend. Well I am  still working on this cause its kinda fun.  I did up 4 different base textures. This pic may be the one I will use. It is darker and gives the ship more attitude than the others.

If all goes well I intend to replace all the stock ones with a fleet based on this 1st one here.

   

[James Formo]

This is pretty much done. I am not happy with the impulse engines in back though. It looked better orange. Only that does not fit the Hydran color scheme.  This is meant to be TNG era btw.

So minor tweaking, hardpoints and attempt at I-maps and the release not far off

Wonderful work!

What a great design for TNG Hydrans.. Kudos for adding another fine non-Federation ship to the arsenal of non-Federation players.

Nice textures too!

Qapla!

Man, it's coming along really nice. The "small tweaks" made a huge difference  

[Bubba91873]

I look forward to the release!

[Azel]

Very nice Hydran, dude! One question though? Why are nacelles on that Ambassador on sideways?
Back to you Hydran...very good job, wish I had the cajones to do a non-fed...everyone gets so uptight about feds and whether it looks canon, I've been afraid of doing something that would get a "WTF!?!?" response...but no more I say! Next pre-TOS I do will be either Klink or Rommy!
 

[Azel]

That my friend is a Renessaince class(ambassador variant)  

[Azel]

Hey sandman

"wish I had the cajones to do a non-fed..."
"Forgetabout'it"....I love to create non-canon stuff...feds, Roms, Klings...whatever

just remeber the words of Arnold Swarzenegger in Predator "Do IT!!!   Do It Now!!!"
When you feel uptight about a design  

[James Formo]

Thanks Sandman. I like your pre TOS stuff.  Bring on the Klinks and Romulans

Ok- 2nd ship in the TNG Hydran fleet. A fast destroyer.  The hull is new. Same basic textures.  Its not quite ready yet.

My idea is to replace the stock ff,dd,cl,ca,cva and dn. So I need 6 ships.  I want at least 3 different designs, then 3 kitbashes.
1 bash of each design. This dd is a bash of the Heroic. So may be a while before the next one, but look for them to all be released to my yahoo club. Then maybe later I might send them to SFU.

Sweet!

[starforce2]

anyone else unable to download from fromo's group? Can't figure out if it's me or yahoo.

[E_Look]

I got it using the link on this thread.  In my opinion, it's probably Yahoo.  Maybe in a couple of hours, it'll clear up and you can d/l again.

[James Formo]

Yup E_Look is right, its yahoo. I tested it a bit ago and it was fine. One thing. I was d/l ships from another yahoo club. I got 4 zips, then it send something like max download used up. So Yahoo may limit how many megs can be d/l per 24 hours on a site. I want to get some of these over to SFU. But that will be about 2 weeks away still.

Oh and E_Look I will get the Hydran up for SFC1- may need to start a new club for that

Did up the hff ship. It follows the stock ship very close. The weapons pods will be readded higher poly. The grey texture on the side will be traditional Hydran blue.  I will also be able to tweak this for a fighter and a shuttle as it is real low poly.

The ff and dd class should both be up by the weekend. Gotta add Hardpoints and whatnot. Ok here the pic of the ff.
I will remove some pics later to help the page load faster.



   

[sandman69247]

Yeah, I forgot that yahell has a d/l limit for the groups.

James if it's a matter of time, tell me which ones you want up at SFU and I'll u/l for you. Really not much trouble, just need some info like orig. creator, a short description, url for pic etc.

Great work on the Hydrans, haven't been many models done for them and it's nice to see someone giving them some much needed attention.
 

[James Formo]

Thanks Sandman. The only ones ready are the hcl and hff at my club. They are the only ones with readme and hp's.

The readme has the credit info and for desription you could just have TNG era Hydran with the class. AS far as URL for pics. I only have room for 10, so I end up deleting them eventually.  If you have time to u/l the Heroic and defender that would be great. Otherwise I'll get to it eventually.

The HMS Defender is the hff class. Now up at my club under files.

Here is a pic with it on a bops six.

Well, James, it's 1010 with this post!

Anyway, YAHOOEE!... or whatever it was that one of those Musketeer doggies yelled out in the old cartoon.  In many way, I enjoy SFC1 more, although the SFC2's do have some obvious advantages.  I still run all three- SFC1, EAW, and OP.

Hey, if you're taking model requests, you know what I've found there to be a dearth of?  There are almost not Hydran bases of any era out there.  I think there's one Lyran TMP base, maybe one Kzinti/Mirak, and I think John Stone has a set of new skins for a TOS ISC base.   Still, that's a cool Hydran ship you've got there; but somehow, it makes me think- "Jem H'adar"!!
