Topic: a pre-TOS wip

[Mackie]

goes by the name of UES Triumph des Willens. 
bet your arse it has lots of polies, about 9800 , i could cut off some more but that would mean visible quality loss ;/

[OlBuzzard]

dont worry about the polies ..  good job !

 

[Starforce2]

it's a what?

[Mackie]

it's a what?

a bloody big pre-tos dreadnought/battleship with f*ckloads of guns to shoot with. 

[Kana]

Whats your inspiration....?

[ModelsPlease]

I'm diggin' it

[Mackie]

Whats your inspiration....?

nothing particular, although it did come out looking bit like a battlefleet gothic ship o_O

[Mackie]

actually now that im off from the drunken stupor for few hours, i DO remember what the inspiration was; CSS Ironclad. 

[USS Mariner]

Are you talking about the CSS Virginia or the USS Monitor, because there is no CSS Ironclad. The Virginia also matches the hull form very well.

I was refererring to the ships class

[Mackie]

built some rather large bays.
yeah the counts gone up but im still yet to reduce the overall polycount...

Her christened name was the C.S.S. Virginia, Mackie. She had no class name; the Virginia was a one-off design built off a scuttled Union frigate hull. 'Ironclad' was not a class of ship- think of it more as a designator like battleship, carrier, or frigate. It discribes ships as diverse as the C.S.S. Virginia and U.S.S. Mointor, and even including such ocean-going ships as the Royal Navy's H.M.S. Warrior and the French La Gloire.


Great ship- I like the way that it looks... that "BFGothic" feel really adds to it. And the 'large bays' would be an absolute necessty, what with this being before transporters and not standing a chance in hell of landing. The bigger, the better; it looks more like a Marine assault ship to me than it does anything else.

hm. thank you, now i know
basically I saw a movie called 'Sahara' where some ironclad managed to get africa and got there. thought it looked cool so i googled for ironclad. and saw pics of the same metal beast. since then i had wanted to kitbash something similar but never got good enough results so i decided to start modeling it my self

[Starforce2]

I thought sahara was about a crashed airplane...oh well.

[Mackie]

i decided to start updating the bridge; needs some more details and sort of sensor arrays and whatnots.
sorry for teh bad pics i couldnt get a good render so these modeler shots will have to do for now :/

[wulf111]

with all those guns all i can say is OUCH!!!!! LOL looks great so far i am highly anticipating adding this sweetheart to my shiplist

[Mr_Tricorder]

What program are you using?

looks like you have done a good job developing the model from that

Interesting concept !

[Mackie]

tric0rd3r: the one and only; Lightwave! what others are there? ;]
buzzard: yeh thanks but i dont think ill be done with it for a long long time

[Mackie]

heres a shot of whole ship now (no you cant see the bottom turrets right now since theyre out of the view but theyre still there)
ive also made up my mind on the names

Class: Triumph des Willens
ships names:
Triumph des Willens, Kriegschrei, Angreifer and Scharfrichter. (Triumph of the will, Warcry, Aggressor and Executioner)
(yeah i broke the 10k limit when i redid the bridge and its tower but keep in mind the ships yet to be optimized/polycut)
