MDS Ship Ideas

[cavebear]

Still working (slowly) on the hospital ship. Also still working on the module ship.

Certainly some interesting ideas there.
Is that a multi coloured gangway projecting from the equatorial trench beneath the red cross?

The arrays don't seem to fit the rest of the design quite right, look added on rather than integrated. how about replacing them with a similar textured geodesic dome, lower profile, minimal number of facets, but blending to the hull cleaner?

Thanks for the comments Monkey Boy

I thought you were right about the look of the array stuff so I nuked most of it and started something new. Did some renders but didn't have time yet to upload. After work I will post some new pictures that I think are better.

The trench is 20 meters tall and the gangway isn't a gangway. It is a guide for small craft to enter the hangar. I am working on rendering a pic with my shuttle beside it and 3 men standing around the landing bay area for scale. When I get that done I will post it up too.

Here are some new pics with the changed antenna section. Also a little on the "roof".

Here is the hospital ship with my shuttle beside it for scale. There are three guys on or around the landing bay area.

your hospital ship is coming together nicely, keep up the good work

[somacruz145]

Yeah, it looks very good so far You made quite a progress since I first visited this thread

[Monkey Boy]

Ah, I see now - but I take it that your shuttle cannot enter the bay!

I like the antenna domes.

cheers.

That's right . This shuttle is way too big to fit in here. It is really more of an interplanetary shuttle rather than one that is carried on a ship. I still have to come up with some small craft that will do the job and fit into the smaller bays that some of my ships seem to have

bbzwbbzw has inspired me with the aerial gunboat based on Space: 1889. I remember when that game came out. I never played it by I have a ton of artwork in different Travellers Digest mags. Anyway, I was looking at the gunboat and really liked it and thought I should try my hand at it. So here is the little bit I have so far. Thanks bbzwbbzw

Wish I could stay with one project at a time!
