Topic: where to get more proper modelled TMP fed nacelles ??

[Terradyhne]

where can i get some more proper modelled TMP fed nacelles than P81's, since his are modelled wrong in some parts, had a look on his Ent-A nacelles and saw that some things on them are modelled wrong
please help, want to add those nacelles to the Sydney as requested before i release it

Well, if absolute accuracy is what you're after, perhaps Demon Renegade Studios is an option. But I do not know if his are EXACTLY as they are in the studio model. After all, everybody is allowed creative license.

Go find Khalibans' Enterprise, it was probably the most accurate one done to date.

Refit Connie nacelles are a fairly misunderstood geometry, so I've watched many well-meaning modelers build them incorrectly out of boxes. Proper Refit nacelles are actually made from cylinders, believe it or not.

Although they're in LightWave (and Klingon Academy) format, check the Connies I have on my site, there is one accuracy that I know of (I couldn't figure out how to incorporate the downward tapering of the midsection), but the nacelles might be better suited for what you're looking for:

Kt'hyla's right about people taking the wrong approach on building TMP nacelles. The engines are mostly cylinders and other distorted shapes. The only box on the whole design is the forward section and even it has rounded edges.

I don't know how others do it exactly, but I built mine in sections (front, back, and whatever's left) and then assembled them all into one model for the final product. They're probably inaccurate in a few minor areas (nobody can get proportions perfectly right) but they are close.

I did drop a few separately released engine models on my site for kitbash purposes so people wouldn't have to download my 3mb ships just for the nacelles. At any rate, counting Kt'hyla's and Khaliban's, that's 3 good alternatives to pick through.

thanks to all but i found  good nacelles on an ship that i downloaded from battleclinic, its named U.S.S. Achilles NCC-551, don#t know who made it or if its an kitbash because there is no readme in the zip but those nacelles are perfect for me

Yeah, those are Moonraker's engines then. Pretty much anything from Eras at War is made primarily from Moon's models with a few parts from p81's ships.
