Excellent work, Dean!

That looks really good. The neck area of this ship is a lot harder to get right than it seems at first glance.

Thanks

Yeah it got some little curved shapes to it that you don't notice from a distance, but as you get close to you notice them.
They where a freaking killer to get right, but I think I got there.

Yup, aside from the obvious curves, there are the subtle curves throughout the sides. But, that's how modeling Star Trek is. People might think it's simple until they see all of the nice subtle curvature.

I started this straight after I had finished the Type 15 shuttle, but I be working on the Refit Connie and dealing with issues at home.
Anyway with that said onto the Model.
The Modelling of the Nacelles are done, though there is one bit of detail still to add to it.
I have also blocked out the main shape of the hull and built the impulse engine housing. I found this quite pain to get right, this was mainly due to the shape for the Air Intake? at the front.
After a few false start I have got it to a point where I am happy with it.

Nice work!

That looks great so far.

Thanks Guys.

Back to the Enterprise.

Windows to the neck has been cut in.
I found some issue with the torpedo section at the rear, which has now been fixed. I have also added all the details for the torpedo launchers and I have started shaping out the secondary hull.
I have also added in the Airlock, I have used the one from the B/C Deck so that size stays constant. I am in two minds on weather to cut in the hull panels for the neck or to Texture them.

Great job, Dean!

Thanks Eric.

Well deserved, my friend!

Just a small update.

I have spent the last two days working on the rear of the secondary hull. I got most of the shape down pretty quickly.
The biggest issue I had was with the "nibble" thing that sits at the back above the clamshell door of the hanger.
The shaping of that was a pain to get right, it still not right at the moment but it close to how it meant to be.
I was banging my head trying to get it right, I tired also sorts of thing but it was just not working. In the end I had to individual move each vert into place.
As I said it closer to how it should look but it still not right and driving me a little crazy so I am going to move on and work on the front half of the secondary hull.









I will also be updating my progress on the Type 6 Shuttle soon, I just need to do a few more details to the rear before I post the next update on that.

That's not a small update, that's a lot of work to get right and it looks like you nailed it.

Thanks Chris.
It's close but not excite. It a real pain in the Arse to get right.
