Topic: Should I release this ? Anyone interested ?

[ModelsPlease]

Hey all, yes I'm still around. As a few of ya know R/L issues are keeping me busy. Awhile back I was trying to come up with Rom designs/upgrades looslely based off Klingon ships that might have been given to the Roms during the treaty. I was attempting a late TMP-Early TNG modification based on the D-7. I used parts from existing ships just to get a visual of the direction I was looking at. Also added parts for more definition. See attached pic. If anyone is interested in it I can release it or if anyone wants to take the concept and hon it, that's cool. It's only taking up space on my desktop lol. If I can find it I'll also post a W.I.P of the second idea I had for this concept.

textures are pretty horrid but if it ever gets refined I'll certainly take a copy for BC.

Ok Found it. Based off of Thull's RDD,  I never liked the modular bottom, too many angles. personally the original design didn't 'flow' for me. I smoothed or eliminated what I could just to get a visual. Reworked the mesh alot, and came up with this. There was more I wanted to do but haven't gotten around to it yet. Again this was a " What might the ROM's have done to try to improve on the original D7 for their purposes."

Just a personal preference, I'd change the angle of the boom up about 4 degrees.. it'll give it this look once you tilt the head back down 4 degrees..

Makes it look less like it's hunting for gophers.

Sure, I know that KF and others will be happy to see more Rommies. 

Btw, like both designs.. they kind of look like Romulan muscle cars.

Yup! Atheorhaven is right.

Always great to see more non-Feddies out there.

I can't wait to try them out MP.

hey MP do you have time to tweak a regalhawk for me? I need to make 2 changes, one which I can do by renaming a texture and on which needs soemthing else.

Cool!

Another Romulan ship in the works. I'd love to collect some more Rommies please.

The regal in question is a comorant, basicly, with a different style ancelles. But unlike the firehawk, and similar comorant variants with firehawk nacelles, it doesn't have the impulse mapped on the tail, just feathers. A lower deck is used for impulse. Now I can switch textures between another cormorant and the regal to turn this lower deck into a cargo/aft torp but switching the tail texture adds bits of red impulse to other places on the ship where it doesn't belong. Think this is something you can fix KF?

Nope. I can't map textures to models. Bummer...
