StarTrek DS9

Hello . . I thought I would take a break from Thor's Settlement and break in my new MacPro on another project. I decided to build DS9 because I haven't seen it around lately and it would give me a practice on my new upgrade to LW9 . .
DS9 . . LW9, hmmm I see a pattern . .
Anyway . . Thanks to Treybor, who hooked me up with some sweet reference materials ( thanks dude), Hopefully I can deliver a cool model . .
As most of you know DS9 isn't exactly riddled with detail, so I am going to take an artistic license here and nurnie it up a bit, not too much but enough to make it interesting.
This first image isn't much but I wanted to post something before I get distracted.

I wouldnt say its not riddled with detail Theres alot of hull panneling that needs to be modeled. As well as all teh sensor areas Its a fair job i can tell you

But seriously I cant wait to see it finished.


Also this puts me in the mood to get around to making Atlantis

if you're looking at proper references you'll see it is pretty detailed

I pity the fool!

Take the plans with a healthy pinch of salt - for the most part they are reasonably accurate, but some areas are off quite a lot - always refer closely to screencaps and any other photos of the relevant section. Good to see another one of these under construction though - might pick mine up again in the not too distant future

yeah what the Martok said is correct, you'll always find at least one thing wrong on those type of plans

sure your refs look great, but what I meant was that if you find some up close photos of the physical model you'll see there's a ton of detail all over the place, especially around docks and stuff

I pity the fool!

these are pretty small but you can see there's detail all over the place, I hope you can find some high res images because I'm sure there's much more you can't see properly in these

I don't think I've ever seen a DS9 done properly before, especially in LW, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out

I pity the fool!

Score . . . . thanks for those links IRML, they will definately come in handy . . . Martocticvs true what you say, I already found a few things that are off and jotted them down so I could deal with them when I get there. This is going to be interesting I think, it will be a good break from my current project.
