Thanks, I'm finishing off the models I have already modelled, or close to finish modelling and finishing filling out the Federation and Klingon fleets for Sins setup.

Yeah times have been hard so trying to get a little bit of additional income. Just a little return on the hours I spend on these lol. So far I am offering $20USD for them. Though if anyone is interested in the whole of the updated models (updated saucers and textures) that I previously released for Yesteryears I will be happy to do a massive discount. I do plan to update some of the stations for the Federation too at some point.

So I finally done it, I finally completed the B'rel. This ship was a nightmare to map, mapping the head took so many times and it's still not perfect but it is good enough.

I took a bit of artistic licence with the texturing. You may have noticed I updated the texture style of this one compared to my other Klingon models. In time I will update the textures of the older ships and stations of the Klingons to match.

You can view the 3D and purchase it here if you're interested:

She is beautiful!!!

Thanks guys. Glad you like her, took me days of mapping and remapping to get her right as well as making the textures. I'm now slowly going through the fleet and updating models and textures. The stations were rather easy but I want to put a little more effort into the ships.

Last few days I have been updating this model, the D4 D'ama fleet tender.

Firstly it's been given a texture overhaul to match the B'rel and her new texture style.
Secondly, I remodelled particular sections of this model. The top of the neck has additional depth and detail. The lower head (torpedo section) has been given a bulk up. The bridge section has totally been changed, that was the section I disliked the most of the older model.
Lastly, the addition of modelled in disruptor ports. She has two under the head hat (red beam style disruptors) next to the torpedo section, and 4 on the nacelles, 2 fore (green heavy BOP style disruptor pulses) and 2 on the rear like the head. These are hard to see in the images but can be easily seen in the sketchfab link on the 3d model.


Lastly an update to the spreadsheet and a comparison of the old and new model.

Yeah canon is a pain for me.

Well I finally updated the fleet, with the new textures went through and added some more armour to some of the ships too, a few got mesh additions other than the disruptor ports as well. Ships aren't to scale in this image it was just a quick one to show the updates.

I forgot about these two. I finished them up today. The G2 will be released here for free as it's not my model.

You are welcome! And I am in the same boat as you are. I would post a pic by I don't want to hijack you ;) .

They look very good! I would have gone for a destroyer like that one if I haven't made my own BoP.

Yeah it's a solid design, one day I might make my own model/version of it to sell.
But for now the free version is available to everyone here:

Most are Klingon and Federation. I have a few Federation ships left a few Klingon stations and ships. I am thinking of updating the poly counts on many of the Federation stations too.

I do have one complete Romulan BOP in TMP styling that honestly I wasn't a fan of the texture colouring. I just did a quick update to the textures and released it, it was going to end up there eventually anyway. But it's the only model of mine (Romulan) that I have done.


I have also been asked to do some Cardassian ships on Sketchfab so I am currently making one to see how it goes. So this has put a halt on the Klingon colony capital I was almost ready to texture.

I plan to at least complete the Klingon and Federation ship/station list so that model wise there are two complete factions of models if someone wanted a full Sins mod with them. After which if people are willing I can make some other faction units. I also still have a few other franchise models to finish up as well. Obviously with requests I'd have to charge a bit more than the $20USD for a model as it's more than just finishing a model I already had, and just finished up.

Nice phase II BOP
Thanks, still not happy with parts of it, but hey if it's useful to someone in it's current state, then by all means. Might make some more Romulan ships in the future for fun, if the need is there.

TMP era Cardassian cruiser. This design is roughly on par with the K'tinga and Conny Refit. Smaller and weaker though. It's a remake of a Clash of Empire's model, called the Lakat class.

It's entire tail section is the warp nacelle that can be jettisoned in cases of emergency.

I made this model as a request though looks like the person isn't going to purchase it so was probably a total waste spending quite a few days modelling and texturing it. Last time I do a request.

At least it could make a solid planet defender in Sins of a Solar Empire.

are you still going to put it up on your store?

Yes it's already up.
I might do a few more Cardassian designs to give them a few units.

Thanks mate, I tried to make it feel less advanced compared to the Galor. The Galor from memory was a more TLE/Ambassador era design. With the type 3 in TNG, so it had clearly been updated several times. I could see this as an early predecessor much like the K'tinga is to the Vor'cha.

Yeah the original model is in COE, I just remake it, updated the design, added more detail to this one. But the original is here for free on MSFC in the COE mod.

The new one is in the store for sale.
