Alt-TOS part 66: My Version Of Steve Neill’s U.S.S. Sirius. And Clockwork Angels

Here’s a nice shot of the details for the backend. I’m now thinking I will build an interior to the shuttle bay. Done in Mental Ray.

–

I’m starting to get the windows in the secondary hull. If it wasn’t for the damn heat I probably could have gotten more done before the end of the month.

–

Just a few scale shots with my Archer and D7.

Oh yeah I finally got a chance to sit back and listen to the new Rush CD Clockwork Angels. Fan freak’n tastic.

Ok. I think I broke the back of this thing. The saucer was the one thing I was concerned about the most but now that I’ve cracked it I feel pretty good about finishing this ship. I have yet to do the upper and lower sensor domes but those will be next.

With the back mostly done I started on the spine.

–

Here’s a close look at the back. The segmenting shows kind of bad but I think I can live with it for now. I just want to maybe fix a few things I don’t like 100%.

Godzilla Is Back. Finally.

Some people had written the new Godzilla movie off after finding out about Guillermo del Toro’s movie Pacific Rim thinking it was the G mans movie just retooled. But not anymore we have proof that it is not so.

The engines are finished and I rebuilt the secondary hull. I couldn’t figure out how the shuttle bay doors would open on Mr. Neill’s original so I did something I could work with. I’m still thinking about if I’ll build the inside of it. I added my standard and tactical shuttles just to see how they would look with it. Because of the small size of this ship it will probably only carry two standard shuttles.

–

A little closer to show some of the engine detail.

–

A closer look at the shuttle bay. There’s still some segmmenting but not as bad as the first version of the secondary hull.

I’ve added rcs thrusters and all the other bits that go on the back of the engine.

–

I’d say the detail of the back of the engine is done.

–

Here is the fin-thingy things in the front of the ship. So far I like the way these have turned out.

–

This version of the fins isn’t finishes because I’m not sure about it yet. I like the first version better.

–

Well I think I’ve decided on a scale for this ship and it comes in at around 230 meters long.

I tend to start out sometimes with the warp engine and this is no different. The first thing I did was shorten the engine because I thought the blocked in shape felt to long and I gave it a bit of a taper. I then got to work on the end cap and I think I am done it. Can’t see it needing any other detail. I did make one mistake with some bevel that turned out smaller than I thought and they don’t really show. Must be the heat.

–

Here is the front of the warp engine. I added some details to the hydrogen collector and I’m happy with how they turned out.
