    Spacecraft Discover NCC-179

    Just a quick note that my Daedalus class U.S.S. Discovery is available at Orbit Hangar Mods. It is very much improved from my old Daedalus. BTW... I'm back! ;) K/U

    USS Discovery 2015-01-21

    U.S.S. Discovery NCC-179 for Orbiter.This is an orignal model designed specfically for Orbiter."K" opens/closes the shuttlecraft bay doors.There is a docking point in the middle of the shuttlecraft bay floor pointing "up". If you have a vessel (that will fit) with a belly docking point it should...

    Sorry, I overreacted to your mod of my TOS Enterprise. It really was rather childish of me...

    Sorry, I overreacted to your mod of my TOS Enterprise. It really was rather childish of me. Overall, I liked it. I'm just not falling in love with your revised textures anytime soon - LOL. I'm upgrading my my Orbiter models and will be re-issuing them on Orbit Hangar Mods over the next few...

    mars reusable shuttle glider

    Do You Mean Something Like This? George Pal's 1954 version of the Von Braun Mars Ship? I've got one on the back burner - just working on the flying wing section right now... It is difficult to find information on it other than pictures, and it appears that they used several models in the...

    Project USS Independence NCC-F1300

    Okay, now we are getting somewhere! I have docking points on both the shuttle and the Indy and they both work beautifully! I just have a few more textures to add and some tweaking to get the cargo doors working, and she will be ready for release. The shuttle will require a little more work...

    Project USS Independence NCC-F1300

    We have capture and hard dock! Well, I've figured out how to add a docking point using Spacecraft III! So, my Phase II shuttle craft will have a place to park! Of course the orientation needs a teeny bit of tweaking... Just finishing up details on the Indy (including a new warp nacelle...

    Project USS Independence NCC-F1300

    Now that I have the problems with my USS Phoenix ironed out, I've been concentrating on the USS Independence. Some here have expressed an interest in having operating shuttle craft bay doors. According the the plans by Geoff Mandel, the cargo doors on the side of the ship open to four small...

    Request SpaceShipOne for Orbiter2010P1?

    Just a guess on my part... I'm pretty sure the inboard (red circle) are flaps. The outboard (yellow and green) are probably ailerons. The reason they are split into two sections is to allow for a varying degree of control. For Orbiter's purposes, you could probably get away with making in...

    Phoenix with SSN-702 Reg 2012-12-28

    Hermes class scout USS Phoenix NCC-625, temporarily renumbered to honor the 20th century submarine of the same name. "K" wil start and stop the rotator in the front of the warp nacelle. (Updated 1/3/2013 to correct mesh errors which caused some users machines to CTD.)

    Sorry this is taking so long. I had a little trouble getting the model into Orbiter, but I think I've got that worked out now. It shouldn't be much longer till I have both the Indy and the Phoenix up at Orbit Hangar. Let's just say I hate Vista! KirkUnit

    Vessel Space patrol Galasphere

    Wow! How did I ever miss this one? I'm a big Gerry Anderson fan, and I love anything that uses puppets and/or marionettes! I've never heard of this. Thanks for posting the video. KirkUnit

    Project USS Independence NCC-F1300

    Thanks for all of the great replies. :thumbup: I'm in the process of converting all of the textures to work in Orbiter etc. It will take a while. In the meantime I'm just about finished with my "kitbash" of the Saladin class destroyer - U.S.S. Phoenix NCC-625, that I mentioned in my first...

    Project USS Independence NCC-F1300

    I haven't been around for a while, but I haven't been idle either. I've been very flattered by the warm reception my Enterprise add-on has received and I've decided to follow it up with the U.S.S. Independence Starfleet freighter from TAS. It should be done by Christmas. Also, a forum member...
