    Ship design chalanges

    Right I'm not a very good with sketchup and i would really like to get better so i thought i would make this thread.

    The thread is for anyone who isn't really very good at modeling and has a really good idea for a ship. Or for anyone who would just like to set me a challenge.

    What I need are :
    Specs
    A description of what it looks like
    the time it was built

    What would help :
    A basic drawing of the ship
    A basic model

    build an aurora.... lol no im good at sketchup and im not crazy enough to do that. freestyle sketchup is the best way to learn. note: if you use 'polyglon', they at the lower right of the sceen you see a small bar. in it you can see the amount of sides, and you can change it[credit to semmer for pointing it out]

            ok heres 1 i've thought of.

            An earth ship built in about 2060 but wih no help from stargate.

            must hold a minimum crew of 60.
            can use heims thory for ftl (or however you spell it)
            must have been assembled in orbit or on the moon.

            i'm also gonna try this one but it would be nice to see what other people can come up with.

            edit:200th post

              what about this: a tokra battlecruiser. ca 2009.
              ca 600m long
              you can fill in width and height yourself: preset dimensions are highly restrictive IMO. i prefer freestyle, mainly inspiration based.

                  it wont be hard. but having a computer being able to handle 60 aurora's, 2 304's, 7 hives, a load of darts and 302's, and a handfull of traveller ships. thats the problem. to remove problems: the sketchup database contains a 304, and an aurora. with luck, a hiveship too. the problem will be traveller ships

                              I made one of them

                              Link

                              It's not great, but it's much better than my original attempt

                              One of the big problems I find while searching for models on Google Warehouse is that not many of them are in scale. I try to do mine in meters similar to how they would be in the show, but there are loads of different scalings on Warehouse and it's hard to find a smilar one.

                              How about...

                              An Aschen mothership
                              Around 500m
                              Current, 2008

                              I guess inspiration can be taken from their harvester designs? The gold colours of the hull etc...
