Apollo Class – MKII

Well… again, a loooong time has passed since the last update in this thread…

Familly and job takes precedence and don´t let me to much free time. Anyway, I´m playing with sketchup again, trying one more time to build a new incarnation of the old Apollo Class, a ship designed by Eric Peterson loooong time ago (1998), when the Wolfpack team still walked on Earth. 🙂 Since my mesh isn´t totally true to the original version, I will call it an MKII. In the current stage, the sensor/weapons pod and naceles are still placeholders which I got from and old low polly from Bridge Commander game, but the main shape is there. Still a lot to do:

USS Theodore update

Theodore

Painting of the hull was changed a bit. I also added the escape pods and numbered the ship. To understand how to copy move and align a object to a surface in Sketchup was a difficult mission, and it took me a lot of time to do it the right way. But I´m pretty sattisfed in the end, cause I drew just one escape pod and the rest of them were a “copy, move, align” job made in a fast way. 🙂

New naceles

Theodore

The naceles attached to the USS Theodore were just placeholders, cause they weren´t built by me. This changed now, cause I built my own naceles. Intentionally they are a bit different from the naceles of the traditional Ambassador class, just minor things that probably you won´t notice at the first look. In time: they aren´t finished yet.

USS Theodore

Well…. I didn’t finish anything, but my shipyards is building a new ship! 😀

Still a W.I.P.

Added more armour, detailed a bit the weapons and shuttle bay.

Still working on it!

Ok, I know I´m a bit late, but finally here it goes the news. 🙂 I have been playing with sketchup for sometime, and I´m confortable with the software now. So, I built something that I would like to share with you. Note that it is still a wip and, due to my limited free time, this wip can take a long time before to be finished. But I will keep the ball rolling.

Apollo new renderings

Here it goes a few new renderings.

Apollo Class – A new beginning

After sometime, updates. 🙂
– The plateau was redone;
– The plateau, the upper structures and sec hull were repositionated;
– the neck won´t have torp launchers anymore;
– the ship is a little longer now, but I believe it makes her better ballanced;
Is it better?
