Nethrati Class Corvette Technical Manual - Scifi-Meshes.com

**sorceress21** · 04-16-2007, 01:57 AM

I just more or less finished up the port elevation so I thought I'd post up some of what I have to get some feedback.

This design was is essentially a re-design of one of my favorite scifi ships of all time. The Ranger One from the toon Galaxy Rangers. I Changed a great deal but I preserved the lines for the most part.

I have about 17 pages of a tech manual written on this ship but none of the sections are complete. I started focusing on this project again after leaving it dormant for months and I am determined to finish it.

Very very nice. Never heard of the show but the ship looks really cool. Hope to see more.

Nice design there. I really like your work. What program do you use?

Thanks guys..

@ Galen - I'm using Autodesk's QuickCAD 8. I like the software's features but it lacks two things that have me wanting to upgrade. It does not have anti-aliasing or a gradient fill. It was cheap though so it's gonna have shortcomings and it's also not made or supported by Autodesk any longer. Hell, technically it wasn't even made to run on XP. But it's got some really cool drafting features, real time pan, array function etc. I'd love to get some newer software that has all that this has but also the things I need to create more professional looking results. The lack of gradient fill is the biggest problem with it I think.

The Tech Manual...

Far from finished but it does have nearly complete specs, please excuse some of the graphics as they are either incomplete or placeholders

Quite impressive!
Always loved the original and you´ve really done it justice.

I was thinking of posting up a reference pic, thanks!...I wish I could find more images or schematics of the original. I tell ya this ship, either my version or the original would make a great model.
