Phase II Orthos
 

In case anybody missed these (and actually cares ;)) in Warrior's conversion thread, I made some orthos for this thing. And, since I rarely do orthos and really have no use for them, here they are.

And this I did just because I have the orthos and because I can. ;)

You do know 1964 was a GREAT year, right? :D

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Yeah, it was roundabout then that Gene Roddenberry first presented the idea for Star Trek to the studio execs. Though most of what was to be done wasn't finalized (and a lot still wasn't until mostly through the first season) 1964 is pretty much the beginning of the best show ever. :D

Of course, you probably just think so because you were born in 1964, right? ;)

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Nah... Beatles and Mustang in '64... aside from me being born then :D

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

cool work man ..

I was just thinking (yes I was) that in your next model of trek perhaps you could add the rear of the bridge the windows as seen in this Andrew Probert concept drawing

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

That's all right. The other ship in the class that I did textures for is the U.S.S. Nautilus NCC-1979. 1979 was a good year also. Some good movies, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Alien, The Black Hole, to name a few. And, oh yeah, I was born in 1979. :)

I don't know how many Federation ships I'll be doing in the foreseeable future. I'm going to enter a challenge at 3DScifi, finish my Klingon Battlecruiser I started last year and possibly do some more alien stuff. However, the windows aren't a bad idea and I considered adding them to version 2 of the Redesigned E but then I didn't.

I'm in some kind of weird ortho making mood lately.

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Damn - My outcoming was two years too late to know that... :cry: But - beep - not too late to -beep - see the first man - beep - on the moon live - beep... :laugh:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

I was about a decade late for that party. :tongue2:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

awesome work mate .. top class work

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Thanks dude. I guess one of these days I should release that version of the ship.

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

I looking forward to when their available in LW .. esp the Constitution 11 (does it come in Enterprise name and reg) .. I love to recreate the orignal poster look for TMP ..

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

No I think it was all about me that year!
I love the pic with the ship specs. Very nice layout Evil!

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

I never made the Enterprise name & reg for this model. It seemed superfluous since the Connie II version of the Enterprise is the one in TMP, not this model, and I was attempting to make it look as if this model fits into Canon Trek as a Connie II variant.

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

I love it, looks like I found you on this site as well as our other haunt. Don't thhink I'm stalking you, I would never do that:laugh:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Oh .. is it textured or modelled good buddy ??

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Stop following me!! :nerv:

:tongue:

Seriously, welcome to the site. :D

Textured. Definitely textured. I rarely model text anymore. I've considered making classic TOS-style textures for the ship, complete with the Enterprise name and number (just for the hell of it) but I haven't decided yet if I'm doing that.

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Wow, I wish that I could create a mesh like this one day. Today I´ve tried to start the work on my first starship, but after one hour I´ve "discard my nerves" and updated some of my planets... :ugh:

But I´m looking forward to begin seriously the work on the "DSS_Scharnhorst" in three or four weeks ´cause I´ve more time than as for the moment... :laugh:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

When will you decide huh ,, when , when huh ah go on , :D:D:farmerjoh

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

I like to model like that too .. EG has it down to a fine art .. :D

but don't give up on the modelling Starships .. I regularly want to give up :)

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

No fears - I´m a scorpion-guy, so I know that I would be successful in the end :emp:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

A fellow Scorpio?

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

"Scorpions are the best of all - Scorpions are the worst of all..." The discrepance between this two extrem sides keeps the Myth about Scorpions alive... :laugh:

But seriously - Yes, I think so... :sheerin:

Do you know the parable of the scorpion and the fox... :D

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Of course.

But I'm a bit different in the fact I don't sting foxes... I just date them :D

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Not so different as you think... I date them too - and after checking if they have a nice fur I sting them... :laugh: :D :sheerin:

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Phase II Enterprise always catches me off guard, almost movie-prize, not quite.

Re: Phase II Orthos
 

Yeah, it's what Matt Jefferies came up with for a new ship and then Andrew Probert came in and put the finishing touches on it for the movie.
