Starships

Making Starship models

 

[Spinward Flow]

The noble visited their fiefdom of salt lakes by ATV. The natives reported the harvest status to the noble. The droids are preparing to give high-tech supplies to the natives. The manager is checking the harvest status by 3D screen. The guards are dispersed and wary of guerrilla attacks.

Is anyone else getting flashbacks to Troops (1997) from this fluff text?

Hard to believe that parody was made 25 years ago!



Beautiful work as always @magmagmag !

"Fiefdom of Salt Lakes"?

I'm looking for Antelope Island and Saltair in the background.

200dt YACHT
The yacht is a noble’s plaything, used to entertain friends and undertake political or commercial missions. The staterooms
are all well-appointed but even they fail to make the grade in comparison to the luxury stateroom intended for the yacht's
owner. The yacht carries an air/raft and a ship's boat within docking compartments; an ATV is also carried, with the ship's
boat being used to ferry it from orbit to surface and back again.

This painting was drawn in reference to a work painted by William H. Keith,Jr in 1982.
The original work was published in pp.65 at The Traveller Book.

Got a deckplan for that? I ask Hopefully.

 

[magmagmag]

There is no deckplan for it. I'm sorry.

 

[Grav_Moped]

There is no deckplan for it. I'm sorry.

Is there some way to extract an isometric cutaway view from the model? Or was your interior work (quite understandably) limited to only what is visible through windows?

It's alright, I seemed to have found at least four since I asked.

This is a shot most space paparazzi would kill for!

 

[magmagmag]

I'll create a simple cutaway view to answer your request. I'll upload it in a few days. For the time being,
I'll briefly explain the deck plan below. The yacht has a three-deck structure. The A deck has a bridge and 4 of staterooms for the crews.
From the bow side, deck B features an owner's luxurious bedrooms and staterooms, 8 of passenger’s staterooms, a common room, a closed air/raft hangar and landing pads, maneuver drives, power plants, jump drives, and fuel tanks.
The C deck is equipped with a warehouse, a cargo hold, fuel tanks and a ship’s boat hanger.

 

[magmagmag]

I'll show you a simple cross-sectional view. The explanation of this deck plan is as already indicated. I have omitted some parts of the deckplan, sorry.

 

[Grav_Moped]

That's what I was talking about!

Minor nitpick: the ship has a "Navigation Doom" (which probably ought to be a "Dome" but sounds kind of awesome the other way...)

 

[magmagmag]

Thanks, that's right.

 

[whartung]

It's "Navigation Doom" if you go up there during Jump, look out the window, and go mad.

The 400dt private standard container ships is able to transport a 200dt standard container rack. The 200dt Yacht is equipped with a connection mechanism similar to this standard container rack. A busy owners make big jumps using the standard container ship to reach far-flung provinces.
