« on: April 09, 2008, 10:13:05 am »
Ok.. so using my crappy old lappy, i have built a little side project, a refit burke class the u.s.s. drake, very low poly at 1500 and its 100% complete, not much to look at but she drives beautifully  :D

a more classic tos coloring would be nice, but model wise and other details besides color scheme it looks great.

That's a pretty slick looking little Burke-class. Nicely done, man!

Thanks fellas..

The colour scheme is a little wacky but I was just playing and threw some different colour schemes around, the good thing with side projects i suppose 8), As for the boldness and thickness for the lines in the saucer, your right they are too thick and bold, i merged a layer in photoshop when i shouldnt have, then i had to follow suit with the rest of the textures  to ensure it was the same all over the ship.. although tbh i was making a refit, and overall it makes her look chunky, and i was happy with that at least.

Anyway, my bits and pieces arrived last night, so i spent the evening building my missues a new comp..  for £500 I got her 22" Widescreen Edge 10 flat panel monitor, Thermal Intake Tower, AMD 64x2 5000+ Black edition CPU, 4Gb Ram, 2 x Nvidia Geforce 8500GT 512 running on PCIe x16 with SLI Enabled, Soundblaster Audigy, 500GB SATA HDD, DVDRW, Microsoft Keyb, Logitech Mouse and a pair of Sony Speakers and . . Vista Home Premium..  8)

So I built it last night, and she is in work today, so I installed Max and photoshop LOL  :D    Let the modelling comence  ;)

Shhhh dude... she may over hear you...  :D

yeah, so when i go back to cyprus i can mod on my lappy, and when i come back home i can mod on the puter.. yay!!

I was thinking too that this drake would probably make a better Mirror universe ship.. yellow markings, bronze the hull slightly, dirty her up.. might take a look at that  :)

You can barely see the Ventral Registry numbers.  Try moving them to the TMP locations.

Other than that I think she's fine the way she is. :)
