Medical Frigate: Deck plans

 I may come back to the model to improve the overall effect and some of the details, but for now I'm concentrating on the deck plans.

Deck 1 - Comms

Deck arrangement

Medical Frigate: Endgame

 I've pretty much completed the modelling. That isn't to say that I won't redo a few elements. An airlock door, here. A few more banks of lamps and lights. Maybe even a ship name embossed on the hull, when I think of the name.

Guns, guns, guns. Tiny ones, just for point defence.

Dropship bay at the bottom. Docking bay at the mid-point.

That hulking mid-section makes me think of a snail lugging its shell.

UV mapping. I won't go wild on the surface treatment. It fits best into the Aliens style by using high contrast and stark treatment. The colour palette is subdued and bleak, although different from Sulaco's battleship grey with a blue cast.

Medical Frigate: Yet more details

 I was planning to complete the modelling by the end of today. Not quite, but not too much left to do. I'm reasonably happy with the progress. The command section (front bit) looks much more like the Sulaco than originally planned. It's referential but not slavishly copied.

Engine Port details and Lower Hospital block section still to do.

There might be a few elements that I redo. The forward/rear airlock door for certain.

I'll definitely have the modelling finished tomorrow. It will then be deck plans, all the way down.

Medical Frigate: basics

 After a couple more iterations, I found my feet. I'm still pushing too quickly into areas of fine detail, but I completed a block build first.

A block build!
