OK, here's what I have so far. Most of it's done, just have a few details to mesh out still, but it's only at 2213 polies as she is now, so I have room to play. Let me know what you think.

[Azel]

Awesome!!!
The saucer should about 15% larger than it is now(and if you want ad a few more slices to the saucer )
but shes looking good sofar
   

[nx_adam_1701]

lol 15 % lol

adam out

[sandman69247]

Thanx guys!

15%...which aspect, top or side? As for adding slices, I'm going to use a special trick to make it rounder and keep the poly count low...not optimize btw. This way, when I texture it, I can use the template to make the grid even. How about keeping this version too? Maybe add another nacelle and make a fast cruiser like the Niagara? Still have that dang thing in my head, lol. Anyway, I'll post pics of the re-work, along with the details I add, tomorrow.

This has been fun!

Look good so far

Seeing her in 3-D is helping my opinion out.

Those engines are growing on me.

I know the feeling...I especially like the front view...really does give the "American Muscle" feel. Azel is the master.

OK, didn't do a lot yesterday...needed to let off some steam so I started a new single player campaign. Been almost 5 months since I played, besides a quick test of models, and you know it';s very cool to be playing and have all the onscreen models ones you made yourself.

Anyway, I increased the saucer, added the sensor pod and the "spokes" around the deflector, and chamfered the saucer rim so it's not as faceted. Look better?


 

[Azel]

NOW ...NOW....NOW  THATS SWEEETNESS!!!
that is making me all teary eyed

   

[sandman69247]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

Now, do you want it dark, like Enterprise, or light like TOS or inbetween like TNG?

Tally-ho! Let's get this looking purty.  

[Azel]

I say like Enterprise
Silvery though...not Bronze...lol
   

[sandman69247]

How's this color? Don't worry about the other faces showing like that...messed up mapping, but will be fixed as I go.
 

[Azel]

I like it!!!
