You've never watched Farscape? It means crap, s**t and that sort of thing.

dude. seriously: post it. Were not going to bite your head of cause its crap. Trust me, we've all properly seen worse.
(namely my efforts )

Besides. now i want to see it!!

and without stargae, how am i supposed to get my farscape fix?

[SGC_Sam Fisher]

Stupid extension limit, I'm going to have to triple-post. Here's A through E.

And keep in mind, my models are the definition of Works-In-Progress.

[SGC_Sam Fisher]

F through J.

I'll say what everything is with the last of the photos.

[SGC_Sam Fisher]

K through O.

Okay, in the photos A to D, are my two main ships. The one on the right in photo A is my battle ship sort of thing. It's close to 700 feet right now and 112 wide. I'm going to put on some sort of weapons pod on the sides, but I'm stumped there.

The one on the left in photo A is my escort sort of thing. It's going to be flexible i.e, able to be modified very easily. It's 312 feet long, 65 feet for the neck and 118 feet at it's widest.

In photos E through H, is my main turret. It's 63 feet long, 30 feet at it's widest, and 8 feet at it's thinnest. It's 12 feet high at it's peak and it's 5 feet at it's lowest. I have modeled it after the Navy's Advanced Gun System.

In photos I through K are my weapon barrels. The one on the left in photo I is my 10mm rail gun barrel. It's going to be for my CIWS system but I have yet to design the turret. It's 1 foot at it's widest and 8 feet long at the moment
.
The middle in photo I is my 155mm rail gun barrel. Again, I have yet to design the turret. It's 1 foot 4 inches at it's widest and 11 feet long at the moment.

The one on the right in photo I is my 1 foot coil gun barrel. It's going to go on my main turret which from now on will be called the Advanced Gun System, Coil. It's 2 feet 3 inches at it's widest and it's 35 feet long at the moment.


In photos L through O is my Cargo ship/Alkesh sort of thing. It's 112 feet long, 26 feet wide at the neck and wingspan is 84 feet.



I will write more tomorrow on the specs. For now, it's time for bed.

Tadz,
I try to be very inventive. That's why I favor different and unusual yet usefull designs.

I just wish some of those M.I.A. posters from days gone by would come back. It's very depressing that so many people have come and gone. Not to mention the slower pace the thread has taken. A few times I have considered shutting the thread down because of this. I keep thinking that those who don't come and post anymore is caused by something I have done. And that just wears on you quite a bit after a while. Is it my fault? Did I do something?

I just love the creativity and community of it all. It's what drives me. And when someone leaves, I feel the loss tremendously.

no dont close it ever!!! lol and i think it goes slow because thats times when everyone is still thinking or updating there project

I think it is because stargate was not on right now. All it takes is for the production crew to create ONE more new ship, and this thread will be very active once again.

Hey guys.
Mr Brother has made some montage clips in the past using TV show footage(Perhaps some of you saw his "Endless CSI Miami one-liners" clip on Youtube?).
Anyway, yesterday he made a montage clip of all the cool shots from the Atlantis finale.
It's only eye-candy, but i know you will all like it.
