A dead bird resurrected....
« on: June 04, 2004, 02:18:33 am »
Who better to build a cursed ship than a man with a cursed soul?





I took a crack at this puppy back in late 2002 and shelved it soon afterwards, where it collected digital dust until late last week when I decided to try again. She's not modeled so much as she is molded and, barring any serious disasters, I might even get this one finished.

Wow! OUTSTANDING so far. She's a beauty for a cursed ship WIP, LOL.

What size is this going to be? I think the consensus I am aware of is that it could be any size between a K' T'inga and up to half(?) the size of a D'deridex? I guess the old window scale could be used too..

How are the engines coming along?

Tell me again why you haven't been picked up by a software company for a job making PC game models?

It's wicked, er, Wicked. LOL

I agree with all the   posts. Maybe now KF wont have to keep startiong all those 'urban legend' threads

BTW Just out of interest what happened to that Missouri you showed us ages ago? Has that been 'shelved' so to speak? I hope not it looked major class.

wz do you still have the p51 fighter for sfc1, if yes can you convert them to op?, this bird of prey will be great help for the romulan

I didn't design this one, it's from the Star Trek: New Worlds game so I'm not straying far from the original concept. I put the impulse engines in between and behind the tail sections. As for the rest of the details, I'm having to take some artistic inspiration from the D'deridex as the Melak has few references to go by.









I didn't shelve the Missouri so much as avoid it - I hate making TMP Fed textures.

As for the P51 fighter, there isn't much need to make an OP version since both games use the same hardpoints and unless you were right on top of it, you couldn't notice the illumination anyway.

Well given you hate them so much you make the best ones out there for SFC right now IMO. I hope you come back to the TMP feds at some point.

I hope your planning to adress this, but the impulse sections meet ala D'deridex at the end. It's visible in KF's ref shots. Still nice work though.  

BTW, are you open to making a "TMP" versnio of the Melak? It would probably be really neat, and a neat Rommie to play.

ummmm the melak is a TMP ship because New worlds is set During TMP and in the same movie you see the good old consitution and a K'Tinga

Wicked Zombie can i just say that you arnt getting any complaints from me on this you have nailed the nacells, W shaped aft section and even the placement of the forward torp bay so keep it up

Well said Fallen Warrior!

I like this version WZ45 is doing a lot.

 My concern is not the impulse engines but the final SIZE of this Melak Warbird, I hope it doesn't end up being too big, LOL.

As far as WZ45's artistic lisence: The RIS Melak was lost testing an experimental weapon, in my corner of the Trek Universe, the Romulans probably would have analyzed what happened to the RIS Melak and made some modifications to the class. Who knows, maybe, if the impulse engines were arranged differently the RIS Melak MIGHT have escaped the gravitational pull of the planet that materialized behind her....

I considier this version of the Melak to be a major improvement over the ST: New Worlds version.

Now I must be silent until she's release lest the curse strike again..... LMAO.


Anybody know what the Rhianisuu [sp?] word for "fanatic" is?
