DD 886 u.s.s. Orleck design process

[Dazliare]

Reading threads like this makes me want to learn how to design models. I love your commitment to detail and love seeing your process. Maybe I'll have my own thread one day! Need to find some basic stuff that I want to learn with....

Okay, it's been quite some time since I've been able to update.


As you may recall I completed the first deck, after doing all of the stairs I started detailing the flight deck working my way forward to the hanger.


Unfortunately I was delayed for a period of time as I had insufficient reference images until Stan and Craig accommodated me.


What took the greatest period of time was all of the exterior wiring on the hanger, in some areas it was like trying to knit spaghetti!


And again, these textures are generic meant to expedite the process.



Hanger is done, I haven't done anything above the hanger as that will be the first thing done when I move up to the next level.


Back on track now, I hope to move right along with all of the lockers and components around the base of the aft stack, after that the ASROC control, slowly working my way forward to the torpedo tubes.


This was specifically put out on a chroma key green (RGB values; 4,244,4 for an exact key) background for the amusement of the team's Emmy winning producer.


Two more, short animations are here-> HANGER - YouTube

Yes, just wait, the paper models are coming...

I am now an "official" member of the museum staff (scroll down)
It's amazing what a paper model can do!

That is AWESOME!!
I hope to get down that way, some day, and see the ship!
Best regards,
Kurt

Kurt, if you get down this way, I'll give you a tour of the ship, the actual museum building won't begin construction for another 18 months.
