I very nice hard case handbag, with snap-tight lock. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif (ducks)

cool.

I like the ship! I'm guessing it's either a Battleship or Colony ship. The shade of red is well picked, dark enough to give it Mass and bright enough to show some detail.

Yup, I like it! I really do!

Cheers!

Beleive me its a lot harder to make one of these things than you might imagine.

The odd shapes of the Ferengi ships is going to be difficult to copy in any great detail. I can touch it up with PSP or in paint, but overall, I think I can pull it off.

(This is an older Version, newer one looks a bit more real.)

Re: Please Take A Look
 

should be more round, less square?

better than i could do, anyway.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

it does resemble the Ferengi ships. If your trying to make it really look like one, maybe a longer "neck" and smaller "horns". I still think it looks good.

And as I have no artistic talent at all, I can imagine how hard it is to make that.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

It looks like it's made of highly polished wood, similar to the color and texture of an oak table. It really doesn't look like a ship, but I don't know what it looks like ... something old-fashioned, as if it's a rare antique belonging in a museum display. It's a very unusual and unique design. The 'wood' look combined with the shiny polished texture is quite remarkable.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

i dunno. i thought it was clearly gloss red plates, that were streaked and stained from wear. i dont see the antique wood at all.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

The first thing that popped into my head was "It is a Ferengi...". The second thing was "...Teapot".

Very respectfully, I think it needs a little work. It needs some refinement to be placed on the same shelf as some of your other awesome shipsets.

Slick.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

Nice work indeed.
But I agree with some of the other comments that maybe lose some of the boxy look to it. Make it a bit more round and it will improve it by alot. When I first saw it first thing in my mind was ferengi as well. But as was said too the "horns" do attract alot of attention when you look at it.

But all in all very nice.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

On one hand I would say it looks like a nice piece of polished wood, I would not change it. When taken in context there will be no mistake what just blew my BattleCruiser to shcreds.
I think they Look great the way they are which may mean they need to be changed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Please Take A Look
 

I don't see wood -- I see rusted and worn metal. But you could try to mix up the texture a bit.

Don't like the shape. Too compact and bulbous, I like ships more graceful.

But hey, a very cool job. I'm trying to make my first shipset, boy, is that ever dull. I got an escort hull and flags done and that's it. Boring.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

KNowing DOGA a bit, I'd say nicely done (graceful curves are a real B***h to pull off). Not knowing what a Ferengi ship looks like...I'll leave that part to others...maybe the neck a bit longer?

Re: Please Take A Look
 

Nice Ferengi ship, have to agree though that it's a bit too boxy and stylized, not really your usual style (more like Captain Kwok's actually!)

Re: Please Take A Look
 

I like it and it could be a Ferengi ship for me too.

Re: Please Take A Look
 

Yes indeed, pulling curves off in DOGA is a B***h.

I wanted to see if I could do it, and started this a while back. I played around with it for a while, and finally got it to look somewhat like a D'Kora.

It can be tweaked more, but I think I will save the project for a time.
