Great job on the planetary sensor, Dean.

Hm, I never really looked at Big Jim Slade's plans before. I was aware of them, I just never clicked on them. They're really nice plans. Thanks for the tip on that one.

Beautiful work, Dean!  Great job!

Thanks Guys.

The ones in Dan file was very light, so I could barely see them in Blender.
So I took each one into Photoshop and increased the contrast and problem solved.


Okay with that said, What do you guys think of the grid lines?
Are they too deep or too wide?

The picture was render with BLender interal Render as with my lighting set up in Cycle it did not show up as well.

Well, kind of like Big Jim, your images are rather light.  I think everything looks good, but I think a medium grey working texture might help us see a little better.  Or a clay texture.

Still, I can see it well enough to think that this looks TERRIFIC!

The lines seem a bit on the thick side to me.

[Freak]

Corrected.


Moving on to do the lower hull.

[scifieric]

Not only is that easier to see, but that is SPECTACULAR!

[scifidude79]

The lines look great, bro.

[Freak]

Thanks guys

Update coming soon.

I have model out the Phaser turrets. The ones on the filming model was just a ball with a hole in it.
So I have added a bit of details to mine. They have all placed into the correct position.
I have also modelled the RCS thrusters. Again the filming model was lacking in details on this and I am not sure if I should add a bit more details to mine or just leave it as it is.
Finally I have added the cuts-outs to the rim of the saucer.









Thinks let to do on the saucer.
1. Finished of the grid lines and cuts out to the lower saucer.
2. Cut in the windows.
3. Model and add the Airlock to the rim of the saucer.
4. Model the Impulse Engines.
5. Model ship name.
6. Texture.

looks great.  the phasers reminded me of old passenger jet air nozzles. I can't find old one but new ones are still pretty close.

[scifidude79]

Looking great, Dean.

[scifieric]

Dean, you're doing a great job!

Scott, I thought the exact same thing.

Chris, I agree!
