DANM thats looking EXELLENT!!!!!!!

i do have a suggestion for the USS-WULF do the texture of the nose piece like a wolf's head just an idea

Thanks Wulf..... you guys reckon the blue section of the necelle warpy thingys (my trek tech is terrible im sure you know what I mean

) is ok on the inside like it is....

my excuse is that they are protected their or somthing ???

he he

wulf111 · « **Reply #64 on:** November 12, 2004, 01:50:40 pm »

it looks ok but i thought that the extruded parts of the wing where the warp grills

markyd · « **Reply #65 on:** November 12, 2004, 01:54:06 pm »

Nah... on both Buzz and Az's drawings they were grey extruded hull bitty things... I suppose I could make them blue and cage them up or somthing ???

If I get enough requests and buzz and azz give the thumbs up I have no probs in changing it..

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #66 on:** November 12, 2004, 02:24:55 pm »

Actually the "glows" were on the top and bottom of the nacelles .. Azel came up with the idea of it being on the bottom only and the nacelles swiveling into a protected position during a combat situation .. ( one which I approved ) ..

The extruded area on the outside trailing edge of the nacelles .. hmmm let me see if I can explain it ..

ya know the nacelle caps off of the TOS Enterprise ... well that is kinda what those are ... long and narrow and yes wrapping around the corner the way the are .. ( I hope you guys don't dissaprove of that too much .... but that was what I had in mind any ways)

Please note : ..... bad habit of Ol Buzzard ..... little nostalgia in just about everything I do .... some where !! ( sorry ... old habits die hard !)

wulf111 · « **Reply #67 on:** November 12, 2004, 02:29:34 pm »

oh OK i got ya now. that does clear that up for me

markyd · « **Reply #68 on:** November 12, 2004, 03:43:09 pm »

Im gonna leave the necceles the way they are... I need to get this finished so I can get stuck into other projects

Top progress.... what does it need... looks like its missing somthing.... port holes? ???

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #69 on:** November 12, 2004, 04:23:01 pm »

What you have done so far is really classy bud .. this is very nice..

just one change ... I noticed you called this the USS Buzzard???

OY .. for such a classic piece of work that you have done such a great job on ... rename the ship !! I'll entertain suggestions .. but DEFINITELY NOT "Buz" ... "Buzaard" .. ( ecch !!)

Please continue with you work !! Looks great as I've said all along .. I'm flatter that you considered and have now nearly COMPLETED the job...

thanks

I quite like Buzzard... think its cool..... ???

But I dont mind a name change.... but remember their will be 3 sets of textures each with a different name... the darker set will also replace the cream shade with a dark red... the blue with a dark gray and the overall ship will be a darker shade.. that will be the u.s.s. wulf

OlBuzzard · « **Reply #71 on:** November 12, 2004, 04:45:43 pm »

(Ol Buzzards face turning red)

I'll leave it up to you, (particularly since you know a heck of lot about this stuff than I do ...)

carry on !!

markyd · « **Reply #72 on:** November 12, 2004, 04:47:27 pm »

Will Do!!!

Bed now though... more tomoz.... should have her finished by the end of the day.

Whoa thats lookin good - nice original design!

Lord Schtupp · « **Reply #74 on:** November 12, 2004, 10:27:24 pm »

Hmm This is only my opinion and I wont get upset (much, well maybe Ill cry a little bit but I'll get over it eventually) if you dont dig it, but I would find a more noble name than Buzzard, thats a carrion-scavenger bird. This model is more worthy I think.

Why not Falcon, its has'nt been used (much), the model looks much more like a perigrin falcon diving on its prey than some dumd ol buzzard circling around some roadkill lol. Peregrin Falcon is also fastest animal on earth, certianly suitable for this big engined machine.

Good against the Romulans.

Just an opinion from lil ol schtupp

Hey Yeah I'll second that one USS Falcon or USS Pereguine far better suiting names. IIRC there's a TMP perguine out there, perhaps this could be it's replacement in the TNG era. This ships definately a predator,not a scavanger.

My thoughts exactly ...

Dunno about a bird .... smacks of Romulan designs too much. But I defiantly like the idea of a predator derivative, variant or root.

thanks

Ok you guys give me a name and I'll change it

Sochin · « **Reply #78 on:** November 13, 2004, 05:30:47 am »

What about USS Kestrel. Oh great job so far.

MrCue · « **Reply #79 on:** November 13, 2004, 06:11:29 am »

USS Raptor (as in Velociraptor, means (speedy) Thief)
USS Kakuru (means Rainbow serpent)
