Earth Force Destroyer
 

Taking a break from the vienna at the moment, but still in the mood for sci fi so i've just started this ship (influenced by Babylon 5's Omega Class Destroyer).

The latticework looks good so far.

It lacks detail at the moment, but this is the basic shape it will take, Ive put Cylinders in positions of possible gun mountings...

I see where you are going with this design now. It looks a bit disproportionate. I would either add more latticework to move the engine module farther back or make the engine module smaller.

well lots of work to do to it, (its only a rough concept for the moment)..

I'd vote for more latticework, myself. Still, it's your design - I'm just waiting to see it take shape.

That's coming on nicely! Good work so far.

That's a very large opning in the nose. What's going in there?

Hangar section.

Im trying out different ideas with the whole thing at the moment.

Here's a different concept for the nose.

Needs more guns... :)

Actually, I like the newer version better. It just seems a little more intimidating with the smaller opening.

Latest update..

I'm liking this, B5 in a way is what got me started - I bought LightWave because of the notion that some day I could make stuff like they did. They used it to make their show, and with time I want to do that too... I like the design, and can not wait to see the finished product.

-Goodwin

Yes, I agree. It is coming along nicely. Is that a rotating hab section there?

Indeed it is :)

Some more pics of it, although I may change the lighting

Looks great. All you need is some texturing and weathering.

Thanks :)

Unfortunately all my projects are frozen at the moment as im having severe problems with windows (after i tried installing XP the whole lot has stopped working).

All the contents of my windows folders are backed up on my linux partition, and i hope to have everything back up and running shortly (even if I have to use VMware).

Nice work. I like the lighting. All you need is a background image.

And some earth force decals.

B5 style hyperspace shot.

Yes. Looks good. Did you add the decals yet?

What an awsome machine! Would never have thought the very first image in this thread would turn out to look like this. Congrats!

Still got Decals to do, cant find any suitable earthforce logos either so im gonna make my own.
