After a hard drive crash and having to start all over. I finally have her up and running with a few friends or not.

She is 2K long about 2800 polygons and has 32 turrets. 6 main guns, 8 missal launchers and, 18 small turrets.

Title: Arcadia
Post by: Heru on May 01, 2003, 06:45:20 pm
The ship in the background isn't the Arcadia it's the Andromeda. I plan on doing an Arcadia but not until I finish the Yamato White Comet campaign I'm working on.

How did you design the turrets to get the proper rotation angles?

Of course it's on the back burner, but if the posted one is not due for release until the next year or two U bet I will have my DG vodoo doll in hand and every month putting a new pin in till I get my wave motion gun...! :nod:

  And when you finish the Yamato I'll have a list ready for you...

(Joking)....

(or am I?) :drevil:

Whoa, nice model... did you do it yourself, or is it from another game?

Well I've never heard about any Harlock games. did it by myself. maps are scans from a book.

pretty sweet looking...

don't know if you've seen this or not, but they have a Space Battleship Yamato section:

http://www.shipschematics.net/

as well as some other potentially interesting tidbits.

BTW, I assume she carries fighters?  I vaguely recall the series on TV, but a long time ago...

there should be a fighter bay, but it should be invisible until the hangar door open...probably you can do two models, one w/o and one with door open to be changed before launching fighters using scp?

yeah, but talk about an hassle just for that... besides in those shows, usually they launch all the fighters at the same time. since you're one of them, they should be all already out when mission starts, since yourself are out already :)
but... fighters in the matsumoto series are pretty useless unless it's the main character who flies it :p
doesn't make for a really interesting mod in freespace.

No she has no fighters. Like Venom seed that would be too much of a hassle. There will be carriers thou. And yes I have seen the shipschematics site, I think I've saved every image for Starblazers. I use them as image planes to build the ships.

Here are few more pics of other ships that are up and running.

Steel

Yes I’m working on a whole ship set. This is a project of love. Right now it’s just me, my self, and I.

Currently done
EDF-B Yamato
EDF-B Andromeda
EDF-F Zero
EDF-F Cosmotiger
EDF-F F4U Corsair (This one was taken from Captian Harlok. I needed
another fighter, I really don't care much for the older blacktiger fighter
form the first session).

WC-B Victory
WC-F Scorpion recon
WC-F Scorpion strike

In the works

EDF-B Borodino
EDF-C Hood
WC-Bo havoc
So things aren't confusing I've change the designations around a bit to fit
today's Navel and Would War 2 breakdown on ships.

-B Battle ship
-C Cruiser
-F Fighter
-Bo Bomber
I plan to add more

Heru,
Cool beans...  If you think you might want some web space, let me know and I can prolly hook you up (free).  But then again that means a bit of web dev that takes away from the shipset!  If I get decent at Fredding I might like to explore this some...
