Alright, by request of Starforce, I am currently building a Cardassian Kaldor. If your familiar with the Armada Millenium Project, then you've probably heard of the Kaldor. Why is it being made again. Well, basically, the original, and only model, is very low poly which took away some of the coolness of it's design (no offence to the original developer). Most of the main features were just textures. What I intend to do is to make those textures actual modeled features to have a more 3-D affect. Plus, I will also add some more detail to the mesh that might not have been in the original model to make it look more featured and complex. Obviously, this will probably not end up as a low poly model. However, I hope that the results will be very pleasing for everyone. Right now, I only have three pics of the "head / forward bow" of the ship. It's not much because I've basically just spent only 3 hours on the model so far. I hope you all like it.

Well, I think I'm satisfied with how the bridge came out. I'll let you guys judge for yourself. I know it seems like I haven't done much since the last time I posted a pic of this ship, but my mouse took a crap on me and I had to go and get a new one.

All right, here's the scoop on things, after a few months on a hiatus from this project (just too much stuff was happening, and modeling wasn't something I wanted to do at the time) I've been able to do some updates on this model over the weekend.

Weapons done, might put some more detail into it, but I think I need to find a texturer now.

Starforce2 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2005, 09:51:47 am »

Dunno if I like the odd cannons hanging under it. Hmm. I hope you keep the deflector housings which face aft on the model dorsally and ventrally, though they should really be made to look slightly different that the deflector up front, like puting a grate texture or solid panel on the sides.

serverandenforcer · « **Reply #19 on:** February 28, 2005, 08:37:15 pm »

hey starforce, in regards to the "deflector housings" (mega spiral wave disruptor - i did some research on cardassian ships before starting on this thing), are you talking about the tow that are underneath the main wing that have emitters that face both forward and aft, plus the one on top that is hooked up to that dorsal wing? I was really not going to add those in, cause honestly, they kind of look stupid. Plus, I took it as the original designer (O.D.) making short cuts for what was "really supposed to be there." Most of what the O.D. did on his model was compy most of the stuff and placed it around the ship (probably to save time on what he/she was doing). I was trying to go the "extra" mile and make everything unique to the rest of the ship, not only to enhance it's quality in detail, but also to state that my kaldor is different (and hopefully better) than the original kaldor. But I can go ahead and remove those cannons and put in mega spiral wave disrupters instead.

BTW, i take no offense from any commenst or criticism. i really appreciate it, cause it tells me that people are taking a real interest in my work. I just like to explain why i did what i did.

Anyways, peace out

He's currently working on the aft heavy weapon emitters (IE the rear facing deflector cannons)
