Attention FOAS....

....thanks for that tutorial.  This one's for you.

The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

She could use some phaser textures.  I've got a texture, if you're willing to map it.  :-p

Very useful.  Now if only you made secondary hulls and necks and such, I'd be set.

Well, not really.  But I'd know how to do more stuff than before.  :-p

It's a very informative tutorial, which can produce quality results.  Right now I am still just trying to remember the various steps, so I am still watching the tutorial each time I make another saucer.  I am starting to get some ideas on how to vary the end results, so I may next try something else for my own purposes. 

Anyone who has seen the tutorial will clearly see that the saucer I made looks nothing like the one Fury made, but none the less, it was his method that helped me create the saucer you see above.

I've still got a long way to go, and I've got some support in teaching me more modelling techniques.  Hopefully soon I might post a ground up build of another starship.

You might want to try a ledge, like this:


Before you use the bevel tool to create the initial top, use the inset, then the bevel then continue as normal.

I did something similar on the ventral side of the saucer, however you can't see it in the pictures I posted.  :-p
