USS Enterprise in Drydock retouched

Image

I have retouch the Drydock and moved the C&C from the top of the dock to the portside of the dock, just to have a Asymmetrical design.

USS Enterprise at Warp

Image

I found this background on DevientArt simply called Warp Stock by Euderion (link to site below) a simple render, one I might tweak in the future..

Star Trek: Birth of a Star

Image

Another rendering using my Enterprise model and GrahamTG art as the setting, birth of a star perhaps, good enough title as any.

my appreciation to Graham Gazzard aka GrahamTG who makes his artwork available for us modellers who sometime get around to rendering..

Star Trek Art and Asteroids

Image

This cover art has always inspired me.

The Art of Star Trek

It was a collaborative effort; Production Illustrator Jim Martin designed the art, executing it in a series of progressive pencil sketches. The art was subsequently turned over to freelancer Mikido Uesugi and John Knoll.

Here is my version again using GrahamTG space art and Asteroids..

Star Trek: Mixed Renders

Posted on May 3, 2018 by gmd3d

Constitution Class

A number of renderings I made after altering the Series Constitution Class to look like both Pilot designs The Cage and Where No Man has Gone Before, and playing with lighting and Ali Ries Background nebula art (used with permission), I also made use of my TOS version of the Dry Dock, I also gave the USS Constitution a NX desigination and had to tweak its placement.

I also tried to create a poster for The Cage, mixed results but fun exploring the process.

First of her line

Star Trek: USS Endeavour

Posted on Apr 29, 2018 by gmd3d

USS Endeavour NCC-1895

HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, was a British Royal Navy research vessel that Lieutenant James Cook commanded to Australia and New Zealand on his first voyage of discovery from 1769 to 1771.

This name was suggested in lists of possible ship names in Star Trek The Original Series by D.C. Fontana and Robart H. Justman for Gene Roddenberry.

It did not make the cut at least not directly, it was named finally in a cut scene in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country in the scene where Colonel West shares his plan on rescuing Captain Kirk and Dr McCoy.

Star Trek: Where No Man has Gone

Posted on Feb 20, 2018 by gmd3d

Where No Man Has Gone Before

When the Enterprise attempts to penetrate a space barrier, it is damaged and creates a potentially worse problem. Two crew members, including Kirk’s best friend, gain psionic powers that are growing at exponentially. This leaves Captain Kirk with the difficult choice; either marooning them or killing before they get so powerful they lose their humanity and become truly dangerous.

William Shatner … Capt. Kirk
Leonard Nimoy … Mr. Spock
Gary Lockwood … Lt. Cmdr. Gary Mitchell
Sally Kellerman … Dr. Elizabeth Dehner
George Takei … Sulu
James Doohan … Scott
Andrea Dromm … Yeoman Smith
Paul Carr … Lt. Lee Kelso
Paul Fix … Doctor Piper

Star Trek Orbital Space(Dry)Dock

Posted on May 15, 2017 by gmd3d

I have not been idle, I have over the last week being designing a TOS orbital dry-dock, it has the look of Star Trek The Motion Picture in that its a frame, and I have a shuttle docks in the upper central unit, and Solar panels, normally around a planet / Star-base but it also has fusion reactors and other star trek tech you care to add, it has the same diameter as the Star-base inner working I made a few months ago.

Star Trek “Its a Klingon D7”

USS Enterprise by Me, Klingon D7 by Prologic9 and the Background by GrahamTG . it’s a fun break from modelling to just render of a few images.. not in my comfort zone, really stretching now.. but thanks to the other artist for providing these resources
