You are a fabulous guy!  I hope you are enjoying the new show.

I've always held Sinclair's to be the most accurate.  What has you leaning now towards these?

I remember I read from someone who studied the various plans who was accurate with what aspect of the ship.  The ones to use (if anyone can find them or get a copy) would be Gary Kerr's plans.  He had actual access to the original model on more than one occasion!

Basically, I just wanted to try another set of plans this time.

It has been a really, REALLY long time since I've played with textures.  I've got a long way to go, but this is a start.

I have an idea to try.  A mixture of the old USS Enterprise model shape/configuration and the new texturing style from the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds television show.  I'll give that a try when I'm a little more up to speed.

I did not mean that the above picture was an attempt at the new style yet.  I want to do one classic USS Enterprise first, then if I can do it, I'll try a newer version.

I thought I had posted this here.  Clearly, there is still a LOT of work to do on this one.

Working on the neck.

Looking really good as always!  Maybe it is the contrast with the rest of the ship not yet addressed but it looks extra green*.

LOL!  Yeah, I noticed.  I'm keeping versions of the textures for further manipulation.  I believe that this is pretty much what the model looked like.  I may have to change it to look more like the end result of the special effects.

Excellent observation and thank you for telling me!

And nice to see you around!  It's been a while!

Slowly getting there.

It has been awhile.  I try to pop in as often as I can these days.

Coming along nicely!  You know you really should go for the interior sometime.  You can start with just the areas that have portholes and go from there.

I am EXTREMELY pleased to see you here!  I was on your site the other day to see what was going on.  (The other day?  A few weeks ago is probably more accurate.)  Your work is always fantastic and a joy to see.

I actually was thinking about that!  I will do that.  I'll be on call for the next week, so I'll be pretty busy until NEXT Monday, but I'll probably give this a go at that time.  I'd love to see something like that one one of my models.

Thank you!
