Hm, I'm not quite sure, if this would work in TOS...

Make it TOS style ;)

Wouldn't be too dificult to make it TOS-era, at least from a design standpoint. Just make the crew-occupied areas more cylindrical (could use parts of your current model for that, really), and make the support arms look a bit more low-tech. Perhaps make them extend straight down from the external ring rather than curving inward like the TNG version.

Hm, yeah, I think I'll give it a try, as soon as I'm back from work tonight.
BTW: Do you guys like wires?

Yes, we like wires as well.

Okay, right now I'm working on a TOS version of McKinley, I hope tomorrow I'll be able to show you something. Good lord, why do I always have to work, when I've got a creativity boost?

I am so looking forward to this.

I want to see this model project completed ;)

Me too. :walmart:

Me too!

Okay, it's been a while since the last post. Real life sometimes realy sucks, at least mine does. But, finaly I'm back on track and here are some updates:

Me three? ;)

Seriously, I really like this... I've always thought that old K-7 was one of the prettiest stations in any incarnation of Trek.
It's nice to see the sorts of things that could/would have evolved from it.

Looking forward to more!

Nice model. I like the textures. They really add a lot to it.

Thanks for the MASSIVE image, BTW.

Since I run my computer at 1600 x 1200 resolution, I have the hardest time finding good background images, but I think this one is going up for a while. :)

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm not entirely happy with the station yet. Some of the textures still need some work. And I think I have to redo the shuttlebay, 'cause it seems that the bay is too big if it's compared with the rest of the station....

Thanks to some lucky circumstances I got some new references for the station. It helped me to rebuild the connection from the dock to the station. My first attemp didn't realy satisfied me, so here's the new one:

Oh, and I redid the shuttlebay, 'cause I thought the old bay was too big compared with the windows of the domes.

And here's what I've got this far: In addition to the new shuttlebay and the modified connection for the dock I've corrected some of the textures:

I think the one with the DY stuffed in it looks the most fitting. The K7 wasn't very big anyways, so if yur looking to keep the same size range (atleast if it's a K series). Something big enough for the E would probably a different station class all together.

:up:

The only thing that could make this any sweeter is if you made various modual heads for the 3 arms of the K-7 type...

You already have the "habitation" and "stardock" arms... cargo or weapons arms would be super-sweet.

What's the latest?
