Ok this is probably wrong, but in  a  Dr. Who  episode called 'Robots of Death', (one of the best episodes from that series) there was a miner that looked similar to that. It floated on top of sand as it were, and filtered ore out of the debre that entered its forward scoops. This ship appears to have 3 scoops forward and the bridge was sort of like that

In any case, great job on it.

That is the earth ship from SG-1, right.

I'd be a bit disappointed if this is from stargate. Because it does resemble the mining ship from Dr. Who and the episode it was in was in 1977. Its a good design and good designs stand the test of time. The impressive thing about the episode 'The Robots of Death" is that it really is not dated too bad after almost 30 years. The robots were not done so mechaniclly or they would have looked to cheap back them. Then were done with elabortive metaalic masks that were elegantly done. The human crew had elaborate costumes. sort of gothic and the interior set of the ship was laid out well. Expecially for that time.


Sorry if I rambled off topic but it is SciFI after all. Yea what prize are you offering to the winner. Do we get to download the model when its done if we guess correctly?

That ship IS the Prometheus, also known as the X-303. Built from technology that came from the Asgard (or Thors people). O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson, aka McGyver) wanted to call the ship Enterprise in the series, but they didn't like that name :P

You can get an idea of what the Sand Miner looks like from this image which was used as the front cover of one of the Target novelisations...  Other good models were the Zygon (Terror of the Zygons) and Jagaroth (City of Death) ships...

Yep thats the X303 Promethious, is General O'Neil had any say in the matter it would have been called the U.S.S. Enterprise... Rofl.... Now that was a good episode



Strange... once upo a time their used to be loads of x303 modles knocking about, nowadays all the links are dead... I wonder if their was a copyright thingy???

Anyway, its a solid start to whoever made the mesh  ;)

I have a feeling if I scroll down to see the many replies I'd get the answer. :p But having all seven seasons on DVD, I'd say it's the X-303 Prometheus on Stargate: SG-1.  Not bad work, too!  Now I shall post, then scroll down since I know I was right without having help. ;)

Yep, it's the X-303. Loved it the 1st time I saw it. :P  She's coming at 2912 polies as she stands, but I'm aiming for 7500 after I add in a little more mesh detail.

Only prize is the joy of playing her in game when she's done. :-[ I've also been wanting to do the Saratoga from Space: Above and Beyond, so you might be seeing more non=Trek stuff from me...kinda trekked out. :P I'll post an update with more detailing later.

Good link, brings back memories. OK well the miner was a bit different than I remembered, still excellant basic design, especially for the time. Who knows that show might have been the inspiaratin for the SG miner.

Thanx...amazing what skills you remember/discover when you move to a different genre...Trek is so smooth... ;D There are so few pics of this ship, I'm guestimating quite a bit. :P Glad y'all like her. :)

those greebles are nice and still good poly count. I was wrong about the show it was from, it looks quite a bit different than the Dr. Wo one. They both were sandminers so maybe I can get hal credit? I can see someone who has Sandman for a avater having a use for a sandminer. :)

Well, it's not really a sandminer. The "scoops" are gonna have windows. This ship is Earths answer to Anubis's mothership...a heavy battleship if you will. :P But hell, change some details and it could be an industrial miner...plenty of asteroids. ;D

Thanx guys!! ;D

BTW, here's a pic I'm working from, shows the front...

Are you planning on doing an ISSAPC and a SA-43 Hammerhead?  Maybe a few Chig ships.  I have good reference images for some of them.
