Another bird leaves the nest....
« on: June 08, 2004, 02:50:55 am »
The Melak is finally online at Demon Renegade Studios. I developed a few new techniques while building this birdie and honed my skills on making organic shapes. I opted for a D'deridex style feather pattern since the reference pics from New Worlds didn't reveal much in that area. I would've added more texture details but I felt it wouldn't have seemed right in this case as the D'deridex and Melak are relatively bland and have a less-is-more style to them. The scale is a rough estimate going from the perspective views of it and the K'tinga in the movie clips, and the size of the ship's windows. The name "Death's Omen" is a slight reference to the so called "Curse of the Melak", which I think has now been broken - er, though the Apocalypse may be upon us now...

Damn! That's what I get for going to bed instead of staying up all night, LOL.

I love the pics you posted too. Almost identical to the ST: New Worlds screen captures.

Fantastic job WZ45!

The curseof the Melak is dead and buried now!

Thanks again to SovereignEmpire for bring this bird to the attention of the SFC community.

Damn good job! As an odd coincidence, I named the other late-TMP Warbird that I mentioned "Deathbird" ("Vas'D'Latta" or "Bird of Honourable Death"). Insane minds think alike!

You could ask the same thing about the D'deridex, which also doesn't have any visible impulse engines. Technically, Andrew Probert just didn't have enough time to fully flesh out the warbird design and the model builders simply forgot to add the engines to the ship. Whoever designed the Melak obviously wanted to keep the ship in line with it's big sister and most likely didn't add them either.

Back in the 80's when I was building the plastic kits for the D'Deridex, I just assumed the impulse engines were just the assemblies on the inside of the forward portion of the bottom hull. It seemed to make sense that there was no exhaust, since I figured it was reclamated to avoid laeving an exhaust trail. Not to mention the inward-facing flux chillers... The Warbird seemed to have a lot of details pointed torward stealth.

Aside from it's size, that is!
