Finally got my house's cable connection sorted, so I will be around much more often now - but I am still at work alot

Here's some WIPs
I would have preferred to have had Major's Chimera done by now but I have been at work too much and I got bored with trying to get it finished, so i did a few other things in the time inbetween (Sorry major!)
And then there's this - my first klingon ship. Very much like a K'Tinga but I tried to make it more modern looking like a picture I had seen:
-
welcome home bub
your presence has been soarly missed
-
Welcome back!

RL can suck at times, huh? 
-
Smiley. No worries matey. Love the Ktinga though. I think it'll soon be time for me to try my hand at klingon ships myself seeing as my projects federation side is practically done (borg next I do believe). Anyway, glad to see your still around.
-
Nice Klink. Say who are you? J/k welcome back. Hope you can stay a bit
-
Great WIPs, Smiley!
BTW, that Klingon you're whipping up look a lot like the Klingon ship that was designed for "Enterprise" but due to time constraints was never "built" for the show. Instead, they went with a K'T'inga for the episode it was suppossed to debut in instead. (Which of course makes no sense chronologically)
The only picture I have seen of it appeared in the now defunct "Star Trek: The Magazine"

Welcome back and I love your ships! Lemme know when you release new ones so that I can add them to cd!

Thanks, I was using this picture as a kind of reference. I don't know where it came from, it looks like a st mag one
-
That's her! Now THAT ship looks like a precursor to the larger and more modern K'T'inga.
I'm especially looking forward to you finishing this beauty!

Ok man, the next time that you are Free(as in not messing with another design
)
YOU And I must do a collaborated project...ok???

Sounds like a great idea, can't wait for me to be free, lol
-
smiley, that chimera rocks big time. Say, was wondering if u could build me a TNG deflector pod to cannon spec and color match it (or just use p81's textures) for it? it's a simple pod and pylons.

Excellent

Thought that it was about time that I began the textures for my first Klingon vessel

-
Very sweet. What're you ising for the slight dirtying, there? Meaning those subtle surface-scratches under the main texturing?
Getting those little deatils is probably my biggest problem with texturing.
-
Damn!!!!!
Simply stunning 
can't wait to see how mine comes out

Thanks! I am glad that you like it! It is my first attempt at Klingon ships 
The aztecy pattern? It's just a series of random shapes that go well together and are repeated in a pattern. I made a good one once and now I use the same one for all of my ships that need it, just chnaging the hue, saturation, brightness and contrast accordingly for each one.

Hehe, cheers Azel - the pics that you have posted have given me some ideas and I have been having a bit of a dig around a few sites for inspiration too as to what I can add to yours
-
Actually, I meant the noise pattern that covers the whole texture, but that's good to know, too. It looks like you've got some sort of criss-crossing scratches-and-dings pattern or something going on very faintly to keep it from looking too clean.
-
that's a damn nice klingon. What era? I notice you've redsigned the nacelles.
-
I think someone said it came from some Enterprise concept art that didn't make it to the show due to time constraints.
-
Smiley: I love your ships and I'm really looking forward to getting my grubby paws on that stunning pre-TOS Klingon.
And as Mainwaring mentioned: yes this ship was supposed to debut on "Enterprise" but the special effects people didn't have time to complete it for the particular episode. Here's hoping that she will appear in a future episode. Although I have my doubts it will be this season, you never know...

Thanks! 
I'm a bit of a TNG onwards kinda person - so I'm trying to make the textures look like they match up with WZs excellent Klingons
-
Oh I've finsihed the Chimera - just got the damage textures and break model to do now.
-
YEAH one down...Many many awesome ones to come

BTW Smiley add and subtract what you feel is right with the Tempest, just keep the general shape and layout ok???
or show me whatever you mess with sos we can review...the textures are totally your call man 
Thanks again
Oh...I think we lost Korah on the Andor project:(...I think that he is over whelmed by her
