Historical File: DSC-330
The Rising Glory Class ship was designed to aid in dealing with the Wraith and Asuran crisis in Pegasus. It is built for swift, extremely damaging combat manuvers designed to destroy an enemy ship before in can launch a counter assault.
Currently all 330s are stationed in Pegasus except for the Prometheus-B, which is stationed over the Omega Site.

Well I had some free time so I did a re-render of my hyperspace scene (since I re-textured the ship) and a simple scene of the USAF Excalibur hiding in a asteroid belt.
Enjoy.

This 1 looks like it is from the show.

[Princess Awinita]

I'd suggest you start with SKetchup as I did. It's the best program for those who want to start 3D modelling.

hmmmm is it possible to have one made? I am 100% clueless when it comes to making a 3D model, the for a really good idea of Wraith's Bane think two times longer then the Daedalus and three decks taller and one time wider at the back end with the fighter bay looking like a very old Aroura class front end(the rest of it looks almost the same as the Daedalus)

Draaaaaaaaaaaaawwww it.

Doesnt matter if you have no drawing talent.

MOoooooooooodddddle it in Sketch up.

Doesnt matter if you have no modeling talent.

Its better to try than to never try at all.

Ok, here are two more ships I got; a gunship/bomber type and a fighter type.

========HGS-95 Colonial Gunship========

Spoiler:

The HGS-95 'Deckers' are interceptos designed as heavy bombers and gunships. Their relativly powerful engines allow them to carry heavy payloads of weapons even in atmosphere. Equipped with Rockets, missiles, Gauss cannons, and a Tactical laser weapon, the Decker is a ship to be reconed with even against much larger vessels.

Type: HGS-95 'Decker' Space/Atmospheric Heavy Gunship
Tech Base: Colonial
Length: 14.4022m
Height: 4.1227m
Wingspan: 16.4226m
Crew: 2
Capacity: 2
Power: 3 Super-Class Tylium Reactors(2 Main, 1 Back up)

Propulsion
2 Main Booster Sub-Light Engine Pods
Beta-CLass RCS(Reaction Control System) Maneuvering Thrusters


Hull
Steel Plating Reinforced With Adamantium Frame

Weapons
-Offensive-
2 SGC-A4 Gauss Cannons firing 25mm Adamantium Core rounds
24 Rocket tubes firing M137 'Sting-Ray' Class 88mm Adamantium tipped 600-gram shaped-charge explosive rockets.
10 A.S.W. 'Talon' Class 380mm Anti-Starfighter Missiles or 4 Tylium Augmented 'Elite' Class Nuclear Missiles
1 XM05 'Spartan' Experimental Directed Energy weapon(Laser)

Armory/Accessories
2 M-87A1 Modular Assault Rifle(7.62x51mm)
12 Magazines(210) of 7.62x51mm rifle rounds
2 'Spyder' Protein-Polymer Body Armor Set
2 Ares Protein-Polymer Helmet with build in Smartlink Targeting Systems, Image Link, Land Warrior, and Full AR(Augmented-Reality) Capabilitys
2 Erika 'Elite' Commlink
2 Pair of Transys 'TruSite' Glasses with Full AR Capabilitys
2 Pair of AR Interaction Gloves

Standard Tech
DRADIS Scanners
Augmented-Reality(AR) Capable
Life Support System
Artificial Gravity Generator
Atmosphere Capable

========ASF-87 Colonial Superiority Fighter========

Spoiler:

The Colonial Mk. 87 Advanced Strike Fighter is the weapon of choice for a balance of maneuverability, speed, and weapon capability. It is the first, last, and most effective line of defense for any fleet. Whether its suppressing enemy fighters, escorting ally drop ships, or assaulting an enemy station, the Striker class fighter is suitable.

Type: ASF-87 'Striker' Space/Atmospheric Superiority Fighter
Tech Base: Colonial
Length: 8.2082m
Height: 2.7247m
Wingspan: 8.4226m
Crew: 1
Capacity: 1
Power: 2 Compact-Class Tylium Reactors(Main engines and main power), 1 Super-Class Tylium Reactor(Booster and auxilary power)

Propulsion
2 Main Outboard Sub-Light Engine Pods
1 Hull Booster Sub-Light Engine Pods
Delta-Class RCS(Reaction Control System) Maneuvering Thrusters


Hull
Steel Plating Reinforced With Adamantium Frame

Weapons
-Offensive-
2 MEC-A6 Autocannons firing 30mm Adamantium Core rounds
10 Rocket tubes firing M137 'Sting-Ray' Class 88mm Adamantium tipped 600-gram shaped-charge explosive rockets.
6 A.S.W. 'Talon' Class 380mm Anti-Starfighter Missiles

Armory/Accessories
1 M-87A1 Modular Assault Rifle(7.62x51mm)
6 Magazines(210) of 7.62x51mm rifle rounds
1 'Spyder' Protein-Polymer Body Armor Set

1 Pair of AR Interaction Gloves

Standard Tech
DRADIS Scanners

I'm working on models, but I think it'll take a lot more time than I have right now. Once summer starts and i'm finished with school i'll be all over it.

I agree with ManiacMike. With Sketchup you don't even need to be a good drawer. In fact, Im a terrible drawer when it comes to pencil and paper, hell even my writing is impossible for anyone else to read. But with Sketchup and various other 3D softwares you don't even have to be good with pencil and paper because the programs tend to help a lot with designing and modelling. Basically modelling is just about modifying a box and then adding things to it. Only the one with the idea about the model can make it in 3D. I'm a terrible modeller if I must follow someone's vision.

And the best thing about 3D modelling is the more you do it, the better you'll become and the more addictive it is.

Plugging this because it will continue to help people, the second link has a section on modelling and sketchup:

I should have a picture up soon, I have it ready, I think...

Spoiler:

please note the ship is in draft number one to get an idea of what it will look like when it is done. will have more pictures soon I hope from different angles though to get the size comparson to one man standing next to it.

[Pharaoh Hamenthotep]

heres the cityship i posted a few pages back, only now all 106 buildings are finished! in a spoiler tag because its a big image

Spoiler:

Its been a cursed project from the very beginning . First the perspex for the buildings was 1mm too thick for the laser to cut all the way through, then the laser cut details, the fascia's for the buildings weren't cut until a day before deadline, even though i took them in a month earlier, the shop where i buy ABS (plastic for the spaceship part) being closed for remodelling, paintbrushes dissolving for no apparant reason, scalpel blades breaking, and then having to find a way to get it to the studio without a car (eventually found someone who could help about an hour before deadline). All the buildings that werent finished fell off when i tried to hang it up (held on with double sided tape so i could take them off to finish them), thats after finding more wire to hang it with because what i had apparantly wasnt strong enough but its done now, and just has to stay up for another two weeks of exhibition!

[immhotep]

Love it, well done!

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but no one's said anything about my designs. I was wondering if they're just not worthy of mention, or if they're really bad?
If they are, please tell me why so I can try and do better.

[Princess Awinita]

OK I've been fiddling around with 3D modelling since trying out SketchUp and it works really well(still trying to get the hang of it though), in fact I think i made a Aoura class starship, at least I think I did, now I'm trying to see if I can make a Asgard O'Niell class starship, but it is taking awhile.

Lt. Col. Mcoy: all i can say is, amazing, simply amazing, well thought out on the tech specs and history, very well done

[Aroura-Gate]

hey its been a litle while but the base titan is almost done the model is so big even on my upgraded pc it lags so much i may have to out sorce it to some one with a more graphics intensive pc for the details. but i should have it up sometime today.

[immhotep]

Wow cant wait for that lol

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Lt. Col. Mcoy: all i can say is, amazing, simply amazing, well thought out on the tech specs and history, very well done

Thank You very much.
I hope I wasn't being too self-absorbed, I was just worried.

I think yours are very good too.
