Topic: WZ45's new constitution acurised & green version from ST:TMP (Read 1408 times)

Here is another WIP that TVL is working on. We would like your feedback on this ship as well. It's Wicked Zombies Constitution enhanced to look like the Enterprise from The Motion Picture. Here are the pics.

Actually have to post (sorry) to correct something Rogue said, the first pic is actually my efforts to make the model look as much like the studio model (seen in ST:II thru ST:VI i.e. in 'blue' form) as possible, I've been looking extensively at the colour photos of the Enterprise-A available at http://www.starshipmodeler.com/tech/refmain.htm - the page also has photos of the Enterprise-B/Lakota studio model which would be usefull for acurising a model of that ship or the Excelsior. Anyway, I didn't mean it to make a jab at WZ, I love his new connie, so much so I made it my new flagship (USS Sicilia - you can see part of the name and 1713 registry in the top left pic) but I wanted it to be as much like the Enterprise in the films as possible. So I did.

The second pic is indeed my attempt to make the Enterprise from ST:TMP, all the details I added or modified from the acurised ST:II Enterprise are present but in a calming engineering green

also this version uses WZ's purple warp glows that came with the model and the torpedo launchers are darkened as they were in the film. I only really did this version (not too keen on the green) as I doubt many people can comfortably run Decker's green version of Khaliban's Enterprise and this version is a good alternative.

If anyone spots anything I've done wrong in either version (either now or after I get permission from WZ and release them) then please say so, so I can change any errors or oversights.

So, we have a vampire tweaking the work of a zombie. Hmmm... this may give rise to some Wicked _ _ stats.

Well zombies aren't quite as dextrous as vampires what with the decomposition and all, personally I think we get the better deal out of undeath

Since those pictures BTW I've re-shaped the ends of the glow of the warp nacelles to be that kind of delta shape on both the blue and green versions, also changed some of the detailing on the neck panelling (the blue stripe was interrupted by an indentation in the hull which it shouldn't be) and changed the edge of the grillwork on the rear of the neck to curve down at an angle as it comes forwards.

I'll write up a full list of changes later and post them in this thread

Oh BTW Wicked Zombie: if you read this then is it ok if I release these?

I like it :-)

Praise from the master, a high honour indeed

LOL Thanx man I really liked your green version of Khaliban's Enterprise but it's got no _brk.mod and it's too intensive on my machine. I actually used your version as reference for this one (ain't got no photos of the '79 version, not colour ones anyway)

BTW did you ever release that Khambata, or the ISS Enterprise you've had us waiting weeks for?

The Khambatta is online for DL and I am still working on the I.S.S. Enterprise and some other ones which will be released on my site. I went to a lot of sites that did modelling to get some more info on the scheme for the ST:TMP paint design since there are others who like that version of the ship as well. I am going to try to do a _brk.mod for Khaliban's ship but my modelling skills do need some tweaking.
