Add a rollbar with a photon tube in it?

Possibly.


All three models are below 2k triangles.

I don't know FoaS...

If you keep the wings, I can always make them into Macross Warp Fighters
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

America-Not the land of the free anymore...
 Its the land of the freeloaders

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

FoAS, I looked at the first image in the thread again... specifically at the miranda. How high is the rollbar off the rest of the hull?

The Miranda is my favorite design, so it's a pet peeve of mine to have it look as correct as possible. Some of the models out there hold the rollbar too high with too high of a curve. The ships from the Miranda pack (though wonderful ships they are) are marred by this one flaw. these blueprints have it just right.

Since you kitbash, I wondered if you could correct that little oversight if it's present in the pack? I'm guessing you're using the Miranda Pack model since it seems the rollbar is too high.

I adjusted it, Are you sure that those schematics are accurate?

I can't say. Unlike the Enterprise there isn't much on the Miranda model in terms of accurate schematics. There was no "Checkov's guide to the Reliant" after all.

Best you can do is study the film, since the model was auctioned off (and finding the current owner and asking them to photograph it might not be easy, unlike the 1978 Galactica filming model).

Here's a head-on from Memory Alpha:


The Reliant model pack just seemed to have the rollbar too high for my tastes. Just about everyone else has it lower and 'flatter' than how the Miranda Pack has it.

Heya, not too wild about the "nacels". I think they clash a bit.

Suggestion: How about a verion of nacel more "sunken" in ala the "Vent" style of the ARROW.

I know areodynamics is a moot point on a spacefighter, but as techlonoly progresses the mentallity is "sleeker, sharper, more predatory looking".

That style of roll bar puts the main ship at around TMP era, so if the fighters are same I can understand that. just doesn't mean they have to look it as well due to nacel style.

 ;D

Very exciting stuff though!!!


I sent MP some Macross models but haven't heard from him since his crash. If he needs them again hopefully he'll say something, otherwise I was betting in the future you'd see these in SFC.





BTW I think a Fed version of Yukkikaze would be pretty cool...

Greetings!

From time to time I look to see if my Churchill design is still out there.

I am pleased that it is.....   and some of you have taken the time to model it.

I know that the models I made out there are very low polys.  I made them a long time ago for games that could not handle the detail of my original 3d Studio Model.

I really like the Roosevelt.  He is one of my personal favorite Presidents.  The name fits the class of starship.

I can provide any blueprints or high poly models you need.

Anarion.

Anarion! Good to see you!

The model just needed some tender loving care, nothing to sweat about. I'm glad you approve :-). Do you have any other models in the works?

I haven't made anything in a while.  I am back in school to finish my engineering degree and with work, I don't have much spare time.

I started a new Churchill thread.  I'll post some pics and blueprints of the high-poly model.
