Thanks for posting it here.. not all of us go over to BCC...

Thanks for the comments fellas.

I have been so busy lately and it's not going to change any time soon.. but I have been working on her when I have had the chance, I have mainly concentrated on cleaning up the model (allot) and smoothing her out as you can see. She did weigh in at 8.5k polies she now sits at a healthy 3.5k polies. I still have more cleaning to do and more detail to add, but I cannot see the poly count going over 5k as a finished mesh. I am enjoying this one so I intend to finish her. I will probably use the name U.S.S PROPHET or summat like that, like a special edition runabout to celibrate the first ship through the wormhole or summat..

nice I can't wait to see the skined version.

TAnimaL · « **Reply #8 on:** October 15, 2010, 09:30:19 pm »

really really nice model, can't wait to see it done.

But I can't help thnking that all runabouts are named for rivers. "Eridanus" is the river that figures in the myth of Phaethon dying when he drove Apollo's sun-chariot, and the constellation with that name is the longest in the sky. Unfortunately, by most "maps" DS9 and Bajor are in a different part of the sky...

"Yolja" and "Holana" are names of rivers on Bajor.

Maybe a translated phrase - "zvezdy reki" is "star river" in Russian.

Just throwing out ideas

I never knew that, I will keep that in mind for different reg's etc. Thanks.

Been very busy past few weeks, think i better just get used to the hugely long hours now, before we deploy to Kenya for pre Afghan Training. Anyway tonight I have to myself so I wanna do a little more on the "Rio Grande"

Thanks for all your comments and input thus far.

nice good work

markyd · « **Reply #13 on:** November 05, 2010, 03:08:47 pm »

Thanks Starfox.

I have now rounded off the circular bit on top (Impulse related???) and the windows too.. rear windows cut in and the rear has been adjusted to show the cuts of each layer (deck) that were not there before.

markyd · « **Reply #14 on:** November 05, 2010, 04:27:42 pm »

So I have no idea what to do next.. the front side of the impulse housing and rear.. the bits under the arc, are so un referenced and i want to get it right.. also no refs of the underside bar the necelles...

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:08:21 pm »

These should help

Starfox1701 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2010, 11:10:02 pm »

And a few more

markyd · « **Reply #17 on:** November 08, 2010, 06:07:00 am »

Thanks Starfox, Im certain a few of them will prove very usefull, especially on the texturing phase.

markyd · « **Reply #18 on:** November 18, 2010, 07:47:23 am »

Hi Fellas,

Final Poly Count 5.5k Polies thats about 9.4k Triangles. Both versions will be released once textured.
