It looks good. Yeah, I don't think the windows lit up on the original opening, but the running lights may have.

Good observation.  I'll be killing all the lights for my first pilot version.  There was no lighting at all on either model in The Cage.

I didn't think there was any. For one thing, all but one shot was done with the 33" model. While it was never built for production use, they had to use it due to the 11' not being done.

Correct, with one exception.  The intro shot with the Enterprise entering the frame from the left and the camera is below, then swings up to the bridge.  That one shot was the only one done with the 11 foot model for the first pilot.

Well done, Chris!

Like I said, all but one shot was done with the 33" model. ;) That's the one I was referring to.

You know, I can't pay attention for the LIFE of me anymore.

Nice going, Chris!

I changed the size and positions of the lower running lights and that group of three lights under the lip of the saucer.

Looking at my last render gave me an idea.  I subtlety changed the placement of both the lower running lights and the two groups of three again.  They should rest in the center of that lower lip.  So, even if my overall shape isn't correct, at least I've got the lights placed a little better, at least I think so.

Well, I can't tell much of a difference between the images, but it looks good.

Thanks for the encouragement, Chris!

Yeah, the change is really subtle.  If you have both images up at the same time and switch between one and the other, you'll see the lights jump a little bit.  That's the "big" change.

I tried that but, due to how attachments work on here, the images were really tiny.

Ah.  I use Firefox and haven't tried anything else, but if you right mouse click on the thumbnail and Open Link in New Tab, you should get the full sized image.

Sorry, my friend.

I use Firefox also, and it wasn't working earlier, for some reason. I don't know why. It's working now, though. I could kind of see the movement before, but it's much more evident when I do that.

I'm glad you could finally see it!  Excellent.
