apemax Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hey all. So I finally got around to working on the Nebulon-B Frigate again that I started building in MLCad quite a while ago however I've decided to build it in LDD (Lego Digital Designer) instead. This way it will be a bit easier for me to make it in LDD. I imported the old model so all that progress is still there so I'll use that as a base to carry on with it. I've done a bit of work on it already but there's still quite a bit left to do. here's my progress so far.

apemax Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I've gotten a bit more done over the past few days so I thought I'd post a update on what I've done. I've replaced the bricks on the rear section with slope bricks and done a bit more work on the front section as well. I still need to do the same for the other side and work on the rear section a bit more. Still a lot more work to do but it's getting there I think. aidenpons and Seaborgium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I've got some more progress done over the past few days so here is an update on what I've done. I've done the other side of the front section as well as started work on the very bottom part of the from section, I've also added more detail to the rear section. I'll probably do a bit more work on the rear section as well as the bottom of the front section next. aidenpons and Quisoves Potoo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hmmm... That is pretty darn good, apemax! You've captured all the little details and panelling wonderfully on such a small scale. I can't see much left for you to do other than the bridge, so I look forward to it's completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidenpons Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 From this to this... that's quite amazing. I'm not a Star Wars fan myself, but it does look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on my Nebulon B Frigate over the past few days so here's an update on what I've done. I've added a bit more detail to the rear section as well as finished off the detail on the bottom of the front section. I've also been thinking about the colours so I still need to sort them out and there might also be a few minor tweaks here and there as well. I also need to sort out the internal structure as it's a bit of a mess at the moment. The Ace Railgun and aidenpons 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I've gotten some more progress done on the Nebulon B Frigate over the past few days so here's what I've got done. Biggest thing that's changed since the last update is I've completely rebuilt the front section so it's now wider and a bit better overall shape now.

apemax Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Been working on the Nebulon-B Frigate over the week end so I thought I'd post a update. First thing I did was work on the plates on the front section quite a bit so they look a bit more like the actual thing. I've also increased the strength of the center section by adding a second row of beams under the original row. These two main beams almost run straight through the entire length of the model so it should be much stronger now. aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Another update on my Nebulon B Frigate today. I've done quite a bit of work on the rear engine section to make the shape of it look a bit closer to the actual thing although I have messed up the internal structure a bit but oh well, I'l fix that at some point. coffins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apemax Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've done a bit more work on my Nebulon B Frigate over the past week and what I've been focusing on this time is the colours. I've done a test render in pov-ray to see what the colours are going to look like when I do the final renders as the colours are a bit different in LDD to LDView/Pov-ray as you can see in these two pictures. What do you think? The LDD screenshot. The Pov-ray render. The Ace Railgun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apemax Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Just a quick update today. I've been working on the colours a bit since the last update as well as a few smaller details here and there. I've changed the plates where the red line is to be a bit smoother and I've also added a bit of colour to certain places as well. The LDD screenshot. The Pov-ray render.

YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US, , FOR WE ARE MANY 1) That would be because colours appear a bit different in Pov-ray vs LDD. Something to do with LDD and LDraw/Pov-ray rendering colours a but differently. Not really sure why. 2) I didn't notice there were new smilies to be honest lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
