STOP THE PRESSES !!!!!! MP learned to BASH
« on: September 17, 2005, 03:46:11 pm »
Yup Hell has frozen over it's true I have learned to bash  :o !!!! My thanks to Antivyrus who made it all possible. SO here's my first ship........

U.S.S. LEXINGTON

U.S.S. Lexington NCC-1709
Constitution-class Mk III
Owner : United Federation of Planets
Class :Heavy Command Cruiser
In service : 2285
Out of service : 2290
-------------------
In 2285 it became evident to the Federation, the need for a dedicated command cruiser. While most Constitution-class
cruisers were being de-commissioned, the USS Lexington was receiving the first of the her refits toward this goal.
-------------------
Author : ModelsPlease
model design: Paramount
textures: Greg Strong AKA -L B-
mesh: Greg Strong AKA -L B-
Kitbash : ModelsPlease

Thanks to : Paramount, Rick Knox, Lord Bile and Antivyrus for showing me how to bash.

Comments welcome. It's the only way I'll get better.
Enjoy !!!!!

Very nice variant, not bad for a first bash, though I agree with the sentiments about the bloated nacelles, the pylons look too flimsy compared to the great bulk of the nacelles.

sorry MP i think those SY71/1-5BH nacelles won't fit the Constitution class well

original nacelles dimensions:
Length:154,81 m
Width:12,63 m
Height:18,32 m

SY71/1-5BH nacelles dimensions:
Length:177,51 m
Width:26,84 m
Height:17,66 m

and thats one thing i don't like on the most Kitbashes some of the parts are stupidly sized to fit other parts that they never really do
but this bash is a good idea only the nacelles are a bit wrong in there dimensions  ;D

Nice one MP but remember i havew the Connie Mark VII in production

And I built the Mark 6, a.k.a. Resurrection Refit.  :-D

I'm still a mediocre kitbasher around these parts, but I'm slowly getting better.  But still, gotta tone down those nacelles if you insist on keeping them. 

Let's see what ya come up with.  That reminds me, gotta get back to work on the Cobalt (my latest bash), and no, this time, it's not a Connie.  Fed yes, Connie no.

Interesting design MP. A good blend of TMP aspects and late TMP nacelle design. I think the nacelles do look a bit chunky, but still. It all adds to the feel and makes the design unique in its own right.  :gg:

This is where I got the idea from ..............

www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavycruiser_louvois.jpg

I'll try to re-adjust the nacelles, but I've always dug the design. Thanks for all the support guys !

In that case, you should probably replace the saucer with an Excelsior saucer.

About the nacelles:  Notice that, on the schematics, the nacelles are about the same height as the saucer and that the bottom of the nacelles are lined up with the center of the saucer.

With the description of the nacelle placement Mr_Tricorder stated, that means the pylons will have to become shorter in appearance.  I don't mean actually making the pylons shorter, but you'll have to lower the nacelles down more onto the pylons.

Ok I fixed the nacelles and updated the links. I also created a visual history of where I was going with this design.
