I was messing around with Sketchup the other day for the first time in a while, sort of started an UGTO dread (I think). I'm gonna keep adding to it for a while and see if I finish it or (like most things I start, stories, models, songs etc) get halfway and stop.
What I have at the moment would be the top of the "head" section. So far it just resembles a giant fingernail. Placeholder panelling and textures.

Practise, Plug-ins and some advice from the guy who wrote the Jedi Knight games (seriously)
I've finished the underside of the head now, and put the two together with a little lip. Textures and panelling are still placeholders (to make the renders look nicer)

Looks more MIR than UGTO. By design, and now by skin.

I can see that as a UGTO dread, but the final tex would be much different
Looks nice as it is right now, actually, and that texture would look great on that model, just wouldn't fit a UGTO ship.
I'd like to see the finished ship, should look great given the progress so far

Looks pretty good so far. The front might be a teensy bit too pointy in comparison to other UGTO dreads, but I'm impressed all the same.

Cheers. I'm trying to go with the idea that this would be a newer class to replace the current dread (in-universe). I'm planning to make it a tad sleeker but at the same time "uglier".
I've finished the basic shape for the upper hull and done a couple of on-the-fly renders. I think I might make it a bit taller, it's a bit too flat at the moment.
From the top it would still make Freud spin in his grave.

You can see a play design I was toying with for a new UGTO dread but decided to scrap, loved the neck and head sections, but couldn't find a tail and wing look i liked for it. So add this one to the scrap pile...

Tael, why on earth would you scrap something that good?
Try just draping a shell over the midsection and it would look fine.

That seriously looks good Tael. Better than the current selection anyway.

That looks like a command dread to me, Tael.
As for Yimm's, it's a good start to a model. I like it.
