Gorn War Cruisers
« on: September 01, 2006, 07:26:59 pm »
Original Meshes by: Atolm

Most of the Gorn capitol ships are based off of their light cruiser, which was a 50+ yr. old design by the time of The General War. The Medium Cruiser and Heavy War Destroyer were new wartime construction which is reflected in their styling departure. Although the same basic Gorn design is still evident.
Available @ Battleclinic Enjoy :)

Flying 1950's drive in diners!

Love em! Wow, that's an original look... Would still prefer a green tone instead of the chrome, but I can get used to it.

Dizzy wins the boobie prize for being the first one to complain about the color. ;D

Hahaha. I'm hoping there's enough color there to simply modify they hue in PS. I think there looks to be some color there.  ;D We will see!

But these are like new shiny rolloer skates! Love em! When can I get my hands on a fleet?

More on the way, my friend. I have a BDD almost done and will also be making a DD from the same mesh. Here's a quickie screen capture.

WOW the Hot Rod cometh !!!!!!!!! I'm loving the designs. But I agree with Dizzy, I would prefer them Green. Green CHrome would be cool  ;D. Outstanding work !!!!!!!!

Well, IMO there's plenty of green alien (how stereotypical is that ::) ) ships in Trek already. Since there is no canon Gorns (nothing actually seen onscreen, either large or small) this works for me. I've a Rommie BC that I'm working on that'll be green for all of you green alien lovers. ;)

Thanks though for the overall positive comments.

And these share the shape of the SFB gorns that are the basis for the TOS gorn models in most SFC EAW and OP mods. (Check out any TOS gorn models from ghost or john stone, among others).  So they should share the color, right?

I'm a traditionalist - keep them grey!!! ;D

Awesome models Rod!

Any chance you'll do a fighter/pf version? -- psyched to fly these....  Must admit I'd love to see them in a green chrome, or perhaps darker gun-metal kinda finish.... 

Love the detail you've done for the lighting on the saucer top and the Gorn triangle and text...... curious what the text translates to?

I have gorn ftrs and pfs modelled. I originally had the textures a lighter bluer grey. They need to be redone in the darker grey that I've used for these. I'll get them all done. I have quite a few other projects going on as well though and it might take a little while to get to everything.

1950's dinners indeed. Probably some of the best of this type thus far.
