Beautiful work.

Thanks, I try me best...
Some of them aren't standard ships - The Mercenary Cruiser's straight out of the rulebook, but the Khogue Junker at the opposite corner was a S&P special.
I think that's a Garuda - also not a published one - in the wasp-stripe at the top, and the ANNIC NOVA top corner. Not sure of most of the others....

The wasp stripe is something else... I missed out the Garuda... at this point Sketchup was crying 'no more, I cannae take it'
The Lilac streamlined ship is the Darrian Medevac ship from Merchants and Cruisers.
As for the rest. You'll have to wait and see (unless its one of the obvious CT ones, like the Patrol Cruiser, Rampart, Beowulf etc)

Better view of the Donosedh.

That little "not a Battletech dropship" in the middle is supposedly a Vargr design, IIRC.
That's a T20 Scout just above the Sulie, isn't it? And a Bounty Hunter behind them?
No idea what the two up next to the Annic Nova are, or the hammerheaded thing to the left.

I like you work!!!
I have a 200 ton "frontier scout" now completed in Autocad. I will show it to my players tonight. If they want any changes I'll make them, but if they are fine with it, I will post it. After I make a few quick sections and interior elevations/detail cuts, my next step is to model it 3-D.
I did some 3-D is school a long time ago (form-Z) but I haven't done much since then. What is the best (and hopefully cheep/free) modeling software you would recommend for Traveller ships?
I am starting to self-train in Revit, and I have had just a very little bit of training in 3D studio (again... years ago)
Also, what is the best 3rd party site you would recommend uploading photos to? Photobucket?
thanks

He makes use of Sketchup: http://sketchup.google.com/
Another free option would be Blender: http://www.blender.org/
Bryce is available free for non commercial use http://www.daz3d.com/i.x/software/bryce/-/ (Mac and mickysoft windoze only).

Sounds more Darrian to me?
I used the random name generator set to Darrian....

I'm going to say Sketchup.. lots of online support and videos - oh and a huge warehouse of examples and what other people have done with it.
I've used Bryce, its more of a rendering - scenery/landscape engine - but it can do modelling..Vue d'espirit is very similiar too.
Blender is good. I've heard they have just changed the interface.

I would also recommend Sketch-Up, it is by far the easiest one I've tried, thanks in large part to the excellent tutorials. Do run through them, then experiment, and search the libraries for examples. I often google if there is some shape or issue I'm hitting my head against and usually find the solution well explained or the work already done online somewhere.

Spot on.
Case in point, I had to draw a grid made out of guide lines... A large grid.. so after months of doing this, I thought sod this for a lark... I found you can repeat certain action X number of times... doh!
I've used some of the more heavy weight applications... Just sketchup suits me fine.. still one day I MUST LEARN Rhino...
