    If any one needs another weapon I just posted this over at DA. It is in .obj format

    It is an extrapolation of the Enterprise era phase pistol enjoy

    Or Runtime Amok. We certain do run amok with our runtimes here. [grin] But if no one likes my suggestion, I'll cheerfully second yours.

    I'm all for the title.

    Next question.. Do you guys want me to head up the next thread and continue to running the freebie list?

    As others have already stated about Gorn vessels, nothing with distinct detail ever appeared onscreen in the original cuts of any series, from TOS through Enterprise. But let me append my statement with some quasi exceptions.

    A design WAS proposed during the production of "Next Generation" or "Deep Space Nine" but was never used. It can be seen in the link below. (Note: You may have to copy and paste the URLs into the address window to properly view them.)

    http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/uesbounty/TNGgorn.jpg

    When "Arena" originally aired, the Gorn vessel was never actually seen. As relayed by the dialogue, it was so far ahead of the Enterprise that it could not be imaged upon the viewscreen. However, when the series was "remastered" and placed into syndication once again in the mid 2000s, a digital model was constructed. It was never textured as it was only depicted on the viewscreen as a nearly indistinct "blur". However, these images later surfaced at least showing the geometry.

    http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/schematics/gorn-4views.jpg

    Finally, during the "dry years" of the mid 70s, a gaming system called "StarFleet Battles" gave its own interpretation of a Gorn vessel.

    http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/uesbounty/g-ca-c.jpg

    So, I guess it boils down to selecting one of these or concocting a design of your own. Since nothing was ever "clearly" shown on the tele', it's up to interpretation.

    Personally, I think the CGI model for the "remastered" Arena is a bit too detailed for something that might have been built as a "one off" had it been constructed in 1967. Simplify some of the surfaces and it might blend better with the expediency of the Romulan design or the DY-100 sleeper ship. (The Klingon cruiser was as fancy as it was because the production intended to use it multiple times.)

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Paul, if you're willing to sacrifice your time and energy to do the job, I'd be delighted to see you continue. Otherwise, perhaps some similarly generous individual will step forward.

    speaking of games, Star Trek Online has Gorn vessels, which I believe are loosely based on the Star Fleet battles games (computer versions of them) .

    I vote for Paul as well! Maybe the guy I vote for this election will win! Unless that wildcard Shadowhawk1 runs then I would have to cast my vote with him.

    Love your image for the next thread title I love the Runtime Amok idea and the image is awesome.

    Hey, now...I rather like that design! If you mentally take away the bold colors, the overall shapes look like something Matt Jefferies might have designed for the original series.

    Sincerely,

    Looks good! I did always hate that the gorn just wears leather... when I finally break down and get that reptilian I'll probably do something with the Supersuit for him to give him a good look...

    That's flipping amazing! All we need is for JLP to say something profound and ominous from behind his desk in the readyroom...

    The cobra class looks like the destroyer from Star Fleet Command.

    Here's a page that shows the design from Star Fleet Battles (from which Starfleet Command was derrived)

    I was always rather fond of the Raptoid Figure myself. Quite easily adapted to look like a Gorn except for the tail

    Yet another revision upon my TimG inspired recovery ward depicted earlier in these two posts...

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewreply/204270/

    http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewreply/205056/

    This time I'm using my edited version of the Google grabbed vital signs readout displaying the "He's dead, Jim" stats. I also added divider screens from Ptrope's Pike quarters which added a hopefully interesting shadow effect.

    Then, I updated the recovery beds with XCalPro's later versions. My earlier renders used his older attempt. This version has the pivoting bed monitor. Please note: one should shrink XCalPro's latest version of the recovery bed down to roughly 85 percent. This makes the width and height of the bed similar to his earlier model. It also corrects the length. His first attempt was so long that it was best suited for Ruk the android. ;-)

    Finally, I made the material setting for the existing mattress and pillow "invisible" and positioned 2 copies of EnglishBob's free "morphing mattress" in their places. It's not demonstrated in this render since there is a shroud draping a dead body (implied by the shape), but 'Bob's mattress has 45 spots (5 across by 9 along its length) that can be "depressed" one by one wherever you position a figure. A rather clever alternative to using Dynamic cloth or "magnets"

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    Much of the thanks should be directed towards you since you have shared many well crafted set elements that can be readily "mixed and matched".
