have to like em when they are curvy in the rear

In the words of Sir Mixalot. "I like big butts and I can not lie.."

Okay guys, time for your option.
As I stated in my last up date, I was putting the decals partly in line with the concept art.
However, I have run into an issue. The first picture is the placement for the NCC that is on the concept.
The Second is placed in a slightly different location.

With the concept version. part of the reg is on a panel and the other part is on the main hull giving it this funky look when looked at this angle and from a similar angle when looking form the rear. when looking at it side on it is fine.

The second option placement is fully on the panel so no matter witch angle you look at it does not look cut up.





So which version should I go with?

[scifieric]

Well, the lower one looks spectacular!

[Freak]

Thanks Eric, yeah that's the one I am thinking of going with.

Thanks Eric, yeah that's the one I am thinking of going with.

Excellent choice!  Keep going!

I have decided to go with option 2.

I have gone back and fixed the issues I was having with the front RCS. I made the nozzles shorter and I think they look much better for it. I have also modelled some details to the bottom of the shuttle, which is something we have never really seen clearly on screen and Andrew Probert concept drawing don't have a bottom angle. So I did my own thing and borrowed a few greebles off my Runabout and placed them here.

I have also add some decals going mostly with concept drawing. All in all I happy with the way this turned out even if it was a pain in the start.









Next is to knock out some pictures with this girl, and then move on to doing the Oberth Class.

Well I have been saying that I need to build this for a while and now I have finally started. I have blocked out all the main parts, and started working on the saucer. This has been rebuilt about 4 times due to stupid mistake and issues with what size the ship is meant to be.

So the hangers/ cargobays are larger than a deck height but that is to be expected due to the size of a shuttle. I have taken my Type 6 shuttle to make sure it will fit thought the hanger door and it does. The Type 6 shuttle from TNG is the same height as the one seen in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. It's just a little shorter.

The Oberth saucer is meant to have 3 decks in the saucer. Due to the scale and shape. I have been able to put three decks in but only just. If you look at the second picture you can see where the decks are meant to be. The decks are 2.2 meters in height and the gap in-between is .5 meters. Which gives you room for the tech in-between decks and Jeffries Tubes, etc. I could play around with the deck size but not much as I would have to remodel the windows and they where a bitch to put in the first time round. Also the Bridge dome is not high enough to be a deck on it own.

Not sure if I should some details to that bridge dome, as it look a little plain. (The original model was also plain there.)

I am next going to work the secondary primary hull. No data on how many decks are meant to be in here, but from what I can see there only enough room for 1 deck plus plenty of room internal workings. So I will leave it at that.
