Greyhound class Escort - Alpha Pictures #1Hey guys, here's a new update on the Greyhound class. I've started a little interior work, starting with the bridge (Necessary because I need to determine the turbolift layout). Remember, the work here is obviously still WIP so if some things seem off or you feel could use some changes, feel free to tell me while I can still appropriately change it. Also remember that some parts obviously aren't done and will be changed to be better in the future.
The ship is designed in the spirit of the Pike era (2250's), so the primary colors inside the build will be lots of greys and blues, with some tan here and there. Complexity wise in appearance, the interior will be of a fairly simple design, although still a little more complex in appearance than the TOS Enterprise (mostly when it comes to the corridors). I want this ship to strike a balance in terms of interior design between the TOS-era Kane class, and the Post-NX era Daedalus class.
Here's some pictures of what I've got so far for the bridge. It's a little cramped, and sadly that's just something that has to be accepted due to the vessel's small size. I don't want to make the bridge superstructure too big, after all (then the ship would look weird/ugly). Also please keep in mind the floor is NOT built yet. Those brown bricks are just placeholders.
This 1st picture reminds me of how the ship's bridge is similar to the
Defiant-class bridge.
Building the Captain's chair was fun! There's just enough room for people to walk between the chairs to traverse the bridge.

I feel this picture here was cool because it shows the thickness between the interior of the bridge and the outer hull.
This here is a picture of the front of the ship's warp nacelles. This ship is supposed to be from around the PIKE era, so I've taken the liberty of giving it the trademark spikes and darker-colored bussard collectors.
Here's a picture of the ship so far from below. You can see the warp nacelle grilles lit up. I decided the grilles should be split up into sections similar to how I've seen it done on Daedalus-class ships.
Here i'd like to show off the curvature of the ship's aft section, leading towards the shuttlebay opening.
Looking backwards from a view on one of the nacelles. This angle really shows how smoothly the back of the hull is curved.
This shot shows the curvature even better than the last one, in my opinion.
A view of the ship from the side. Here I am standing on its top side for a size comparison. This ship is almost 80 meters in length overall, and will have 4 decks. I'd say it's about the same size as Comr4de's
Lucifer-class Frigate.
For some reason this angle just looks really good to me. It shows off the backside's shape well.
Here's two pictures of the Turbolift car that will be used on this ship. Here, my friend Mr. Unicode volunteered to be a model for me and stand inside the car.
The turbocar has 8 studs-wide of circular space on the inside by the way. It can fit up to 3 people, though I recommend only 2 should be in it at a time (with 3, getting out the door can be tricky).
That's all for now!
