OK, finished the mesh and started the mapping and texture work...this is just a basic texture, will refine as I go. ;)

Wow Sandman, this looks fantastic! I'm honestly thrilled by the spot-on job you're doing here, as she looks really great. I can't wait to take a few beauty shots of my own for my site!

Fallen_Warrior did bring up a small point that I do agree with, though:

Quote
the bridge dome looks good to me it looks like its missing the ledge thing just under it though

It looks like it's the same sensor platform as on the bottom of the saucer rather than an actual TOS bridge module. But apart from that she looks fab. I guess it really was a challenge to get the rear hull and lower shuttlebay spot on, so thank you so much for taking the time and getting the help to do it right.  :thumbsup: :notworthy: :notworthy: :woot: :rwoot:

Well, it's np to change the bridge dome...but the schematic ain't really right either, which is what I made it to, minus the turbo-lift shaft at rear. :P I usually tweak things as I texture, 'cause that's when I usually find errors...matter of fact, next update will have new dome...that way I can texture it at same time. ;) ;D

OK, re-did the bridge dome, and did a little more texturing...

Why TY, MP. ;D Hmmmm, instead of "Flag Rank Officer", how about Commodore? That's a flag rank, and still a workin' sailor. ;D

OK, got a little more done on her...takin' awhile due to work, and looking for a place to move...we moving from California to upstate NY, so that's been taking a lot of my time. Anyway, here's a couple shots and as always c&c welcome (not that I'll follow advice :P ;D).

Ditto! And don't worry about the timeframe. I can definitely wait for the superb job you're doing here. Keep it up, and good luck on the move.

Dang...I took time off...actually just haven't had the time...move out of Cali failed but lost everything...getting back to where we was has been hard and still ongoing...but lo-and-behold...I still have this on my HD and I think I'll try to finish her. WARNING...no work been done for over a year so REALLY rusty...you'll probably be able to tell the difference...but at least after I finish her and release, one of the good textureres will be able to make her look good. :P

Whew!!! Took me a couple of days to remember how to map and apply textures...let alone do the textures, lol. :P Here's a shot of what I have for the neck so far...starting to come backto me but if you have a suggestion, PLEASE send me a message explaining how to do it...I've forgotten alot...took me an hour to figure out how to map the dang thing...kept getting the wrong texture applied. ::)

Anyway, here's a look at where I'm at...hard to believe that a year ago I could have had it done in a couple of days, rather than taking that long to do one little thing...but at least I'm trying to finish her, and I hope y'all wont be too hard on me...this is my therapy and if I get too much bs I'll probably chuck it all, lol. ;) :P Seriously though, if you have a suggestion, I would really like a pm telling me how to do it...if your not a modeler or texturer, please feel free to make suggestions, but realize I might not take the advice...individual art interpretation and all that. ::)

nice ship  ;D

is it a battlecruiser?

first: i think the ship would be bether with a deflector dish

two: the colector buser (the tipe of the warp engines) seem a bit weird.

Hi Bernard

inless you got drones, a shuttle carrier is not very good in combat no?
