New Build, USS Vengeance from Star Trek XII

[MadMan1701A]

Hi Justin,

Of course I remember.

I think I'll release this one... I haven't released anything in a long time now, and I'm not aware of anyone else that has built one.

Awesome. Thats great news!!! The design is ugly. But ugly in a good way. Ugly in a villian way!! When you release it I'm gonna render an ambitious render of a bunch of Madverse ships trying to take her down!!

 

[Cforrest]

Is there any easy way to make this into a lower poly model? I need it for a paper craft

 

[Mycroft Maxwell]

Just curious, whats a paper craft?

 

[137th Gebirg]

Ship models made out of paper. Some of them are quite stunning. Here is a page with some really good looking Battlestar stuff. How they do complex curves with some of these things (like the new Cylon Raider) is positively amazing.

 

[Mycroft Maxwell]

I did some research into that. I am stunned and I seriously want to learn how to do that. Polar Lights and Diamond Select and Ban-Dai can all keep their overpriced models!!!

 

[F. King Daniel]

Excellent work, MadMan1701A. I can't wait to see her textured!

 

[saddestmoon]

Yeah - echoing what other have already posted - looking very nice!

looking forward to seeing more to come!

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks guys.

Not sure about converting the model into a papercraft model... never done that. When I release the model, though, whoever wants to, can go for it.

Tonight's progress... got quite a bit more detailing done, and still refining some shapes. I keep finding more stuff to add.

More later.

I recommend not going overboard on adding too much. Seen good model get ruined by adding too much.

 

[Mycroft Maxwell]

is it me, or is the area between the impulse engine and bridge kinda shaped like an Aircraft Carrier?

I see what you're talking about and it does look like a carrier.

kinda of does

 

[1701TPA]

AWESOME!!!

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks guys.

Really, really, close to finishing now. Most details are on, just need to add the deflector. After that, I can finally texture it.

Maybe, hopefully, I will be done by the end of the weekend.

[F. King Daniel]

Very cool!

 

[Praetor]

Fine work, sir!

 

[publiusr]

Now on the Hot Wheels, the nacelles look a bit taller. It helps the swan like design flow a bit. You might want to compare yours. Yours is more accurate, of course.

 

[saddestmoon]

Wow! Looking so very awesome, MadMan! Can't wait to see her textured up!

Off-topic: Intitially (before seeing the movie), I relegated the USS Vengeance to being a deliberately ugly / villianous starship design (intended that way, and wonderfully realised).

However, since then, she's grown on me in a way I didn't think possible, becoming one of my all-time favourite starship designs - period! So much so, that I don't even think she's ugly anymore - totally a beautifully angular, aggressive looking starship - in every possible way!

Big fan here! Love every aspect of her design - particularly the Primary Saucer - as well as her long angular recessed bussard nacelles, the colourscheme, and the forward deflector (with movable panels) - the Star Destroyer of Trek Starships!

Nahhh, it's still an ugly design (albeit deliberately so!), but MadMan1701A is doing him justice (somehow calling the Vengeance her seems inappropriate).
