RF,
This is a dream come true!thumbsup
Wow! it's certainly looking good! :Bravo: This is going to make me re-watch the series for additional details (especially the interior). What graphics program are you using to draw these creations?Thanks again for all of your work!

The 2D pictures I post are images rendered by SketchUp, a 3D modeling program. Sometimes I use direct screenshots of the 3D window. I'll export the pattern as *.svg graphic and edit it in CorelDRAW. The badge is a vector drawing made in Corel. Once completed the whole project is exported as *.pdf and then ... well ... uploaded to the Resource section ... one day ... or so ... when it is working again ...
OK Great! Right now I'm working with the very primative MSPaint to build some items for the Vorchan. I've had some limited success, but it doesn't seem to handle some shapes too well. I've got a copy of Blender now, but need to play with it for a bit to get the hang of things.

Your results are great so far! I'm looking for your progress, Sky. Rhaven also uses Paint for recolouring. Speaking of which, it reminds me of a promise I made in another thread /giving some tips on using Gimp... Unfortunately my time is so limited but I'll get back to it soon!
Anyway, there are many ways to achieve a certain goal. The result is which counts.

First views of the Sandman car:
The challenge of this model are its large windows. I'd like to use transparent sheet for them and to keep the seam and cutting lines to a minimum. I'll have to see if the faces have to be divided more in order to achieve a nice curvature of the outer hull.

Rf,
Just remembered that this particular car was reused in the sci fi series Otherworld which ran about in the mid eighties. Cancelled after about 8 episodes. Still had a neat concept.

Slightly off topic but worth it.
Here's a link to a bike model that I believe is a modern version of what she is riding. It is an incredible model.

They also re-used the Colonial Warrior Blaster from BSG and the Draconian Blaster from Buck:

Yes I've seen those on various subways, metro and the EL system in Chicago over the years. Very useful and compact. The picture I originally was trying to find when you were talking about star trek not using "vehicles" was Scotty riding a bike. However finding Uhura riding one was even better!
Wasn't there a car in the episode where they were on the world that was emulating the 1920's gangsters?
And another one...:Grin:
Here's some more Star Trek "vehicles" (well ok ground transport - with an attitude).

I thought about that - you showed the pics! Great! I think the last vehicle could be called, "Gallopocraft" or "Galloppomobile"..!

How about calling it the "Pferdetransport". You could add a number indicating how much horsepower it has!
Well, I suppose this designation has already been copyrighted and is unavailable to us now.

More shaping of the hull:
I think it's OK.
