Oh yeah, I remember that nightmare. You got it closer than I ever did when I'd had enough f***ing with it.

I was going to say the same thing.

I think it is good work, Dean!  Well done.

Thanks Eric.

Really nicely done Freak.  It is a real bugger to do.  I bet I restarted my shuttle area 30 times before I got something I was happy with.  And like you, it is not exact but it will do.

Thanks Tralfaz.

More work on the Type 6 Shuttle.

I have cut in the windows and panels onto the side of the ship. Modelled the rear door and the impulse engines.
I have also put in the side RCS thrusters. Still need to add some to the top and bottom, though I am not sure the shuttle built for the hanger bay set and the model used in the show actually had them.
I have also added some simple materials for now and plan to do some proper ones. I also checked to make sure that scale on this is right.
With the scale given I found a few issues, which have been corrected, however this dose mean that my shuttle is a little longer and not as wide. I'll post the dimensions when I do the orthros.
I have also include a render of the Type 15 to show the scale different between the two.









All that is now left apart from what I have mentioned is the bottom of the shuttle and the pylons connecting the nacelles.
I also need to add the shuttle name and reg, like the type 15 I plan to model this out so saving on having to do textures.
I also need to do a simple interior to be seen though the windows.

It's looking great, Dean.

It does indeed look great!

Do you need textures?  I always remember the TNG stuff being fairly clean.

Thanks Guys.

Finally I have finished building the Type 6 shuttle. This took a little longer than I was planning but it is done.
while not on the original model I have add a couple of RCS thruster to the top and bottom. (there should be some there which is why I have put them in.)
I have also modelling a very basic interior, again I don't plan on getting to close to see inside.
I have also done a lighting test to see what it would like in the darkness of space.
Finally I have also done a Render of all the shuttle I have built so far. I have not include my Type 11 which I built a few years ago as that need to be redone.












Will be doing an Orthros sheet like I have done with the other and also making a few beauty picture before moving onto another shuttle.
I think I will build the Type 7 next, though depending on how much feather I get with the TMP Enterprise I might do the TMP Type 5 shuttle.

Very cool!

It looks great. The additional RCS thrusters make sense.

Thanks guys.

It been nearly two months since I done any work on this.
But since it the holiday season and I am off work, I finally had time to sit down and get some work done.
I have been working on the front of the secondary hull adding in the details and the RCS.
I might have to redo that as I think it a bit to forward.









Before starting to work on detailing the rest of the Secondary Hull, I am going to start modelling the warp nacelles and the pylons first.
Once that is in place I will go back to finish off the details.
