Star Trek: USS Excalibur Update X

I'd say most of the modeling is finished now... moving on to the dreaded UVW unwrapping and decal work. Also someone asked me the relative sizes of the Excalibur and the Pandemus, so there's a pic of that as well...

Star Trek - USS Pandemus Update III

Well it's been quite a while since I posted anything. So here's a little update to the Pandemus. Added some manipulator arms and did a little work on the shuttle bay and the industrial de-materializer. So this predates workbees so I made some workgnats lol.

Star Trek - USS Pandemus Update II

Another rebuild, but already I've made significant progress over the last try. So the pod thing at the bottom of the fin is an industrial dematerializer. That breaks down wreckage or unprocessed raw material into separate component materials so they can be used in the large manufacturing bay towards the back of the ship. I figure this works similarly to the transporter only it's not saving the pattern and beaming it intact. The material is broken down and then the materializers (the large yellow things in the manufacturing bay) grow new components. The hangar deck for workbees and shuttlecraft is at the top of the cylinder behind the bridge. At the bottom of the cylinder is the large repair bay, for big repair jobs. Anyway, here's pics...

Star Trek: USS Pandemus - Update

Once again, a small update, just added some bits and did some tweaking here and there. I'll have a more thorough update soon though.

Star Trek - USS Pandemus

There was a discussion over at TrekBBS regarding shuttle carriers and I started sketching some ideas. Well I soon drifted away from a carrier and ended up with this that I'm classifying as a repair ship. The big open bay will have doors eventually and that will be where most of the repair work would be completed. I figure that parts that are too big to fit would likely be repaired in place or the ship would have to be towed to a dockyard. The smaller cut out towards the front of the cylindrical section would be for breaking down debris that can be reconstituted into useful parts. As with all the stuff I post it's still under construction.
