I found a few notable parts tucked away in the vast depths of my WIP folder and surveyed through them for some of the better ones. I was planning to finish them up or modify them for separate usage and figured while I was at it, I'd see if there were any particular components that the kitbashers out there might be pining for. Make a list and drop it here (preferably with pics/references) or shout out random descriptions, whatever suits your fancy. No promises on any of them actually getting built, but no denials either.
As for what's already in the list, it's mostly a few unused nacelles, weapons pods, guns, impulse domes, navigation domes, etc. Each one will have it's own texture and be optimized for kitbashing purposes to make things easier to work with. I was also planning to make an explicit exception to the dictatorship...I mean, mod use policy regarding anything tossed into the parts bin.

Pylons and rollbars of various designs would be nice, oh and phaser arrays, also of various designs.
Oh, any chance of getting a version of the Warlock saucer minus rail phasers?

Ask and they be delivered: Sorcerer and Warlock, sans the rails. There's also a Sovereign deflector now posted. I don't know about the phaser arrays, those tend to be model specific. I do have some pylons that could be useful, depending on how imaginative one gets. |

Cool, I've been wanting some new TMP nacelles for kitbashing for a while, specifically the Ships Of The StarFleet LN-72 nacelles. Sorry about the quality but this is the best pic I could find of the LN-72s: www.shipschematics.net/startrek/images/federation/heavycruiser_ingram_up.jpg similar to the LN-64s from the Enterprise, but with a very different back end. Also anything from the Constellation is great, nacelles, pods, hull-greebles; mainly the nacelles would be good for variety on other ships. I assume you know what the Constellation bits'n'pieces look like, plus I can't find a good picture at the moment... |

I intend to get quite imaginative with a couple ships I have had on my hard drive, collecting dust for ages, that I never finished. Just needs me some nice pylons and rollbars. Oh, maybe some nice high quality Oberth parts as well? :-D Got a few ideas up me sleeve. |

Probably the most unusual request you've ever gotten, but any chance of Generic Armor Plating? Like the Yamato design from Klingon Academy or Taldren's Wrath from SFC, but for other areas of the ship. (not really expecting a response, but still just throwing that out there ;D ) I have a secret desire to kitbash a recreation of a Yamato, but with more current types of classes. I've actually started my first kitbash from KA, a Romulan Fighter. [edited] NM, I found the parts link (silly newb).  |

if the warps engine could be in single so you can fit them to models, most of them there in pair and you can't adjuts them.

In your modeling program(s) select the nacels and break into subobjects. If that doesn't work delete face and get rid of the second nacel pieces manually. It's a longer process but it works. After, save the nacel under another name (Don't choose "save object", choose "save as", unless it don't matter to you). Learned the hard way to make sure you actually have the whole object selected before hitting save. Many times I ended up with nothing or a partial object.  Once you got a single nacel you can move it/adjust it as you need and then Copy it and hit Mirror function and move the mirrored copy to the opposite location(coordinates) of the original. I hope that helps what you intended. I just did my first ever kitbash! (gee only took like 4 years)... The only good thing about my HD crash was in the process of reconstruction I learned a couple more things that has made my efforts a tiny bit faster and easier. (plus now instead of random model collecting, everything is organized by game/site/artist) |

If you're using 3DS Max, just convert the nacelles into editable mesh, select the entire nacelle you want, and then click the MOVE tool and place it where you want.

Do you have the parts of your Constitution all seperate? I only have milkshape and it detests the whole thing (ie won't let me load it!) lol. If you could download the parts seperate that would be a big help to many of us I am sure! Just an idea any how!

Argh, most of these requests require me to build/finish an Oberth and Constellation in the first place. Can't you people come up with anything that requires no effort?
As for the Connie 'kit', I had planned to do that with the last release but it would probably be better to save that for the updated one still on the burner.

How about a Refit Constitution Class Neck minus torpedo bay? |

Here's a new parts request:
Carolina Class warp engines. I've got something in mind for them that would work nicely.

I'm tempted to request the secondary hull of the new Valiant. :-p
And a new selection of saucers would be nice as well. :-D

Post by donkarnage1 on Jul 8, 2007 21:24:09 GMT -5
here my request:
1: the saucer section of the potemkin TMP (not the bridge but the full saucer with and with out the impulse engine)
2: the main hull or the drive section or the engenering section of the potemkin TMP.
3: the impulse engine of the Ardennes class
4: the weapons of a Klingon BoP TMP.

If I remember right they already are seperate peices that you can mix and match, on the Potemkin. The Impulse Engines can be selected as a module and deleted in Max or Milkshape.
