Freak's Trek Build's

[Freak]

With having built the Enterprise for Star Trek TOS and the shuttle. I still got that modelling itch that needs to be scratched, so I have decide while I have it why build each version of the Enterprise from Star Trek. However for the Enterprise A I won't do another Refit Connie, I'll just redo the Textures and the Reg.
Each Ship will be to scale.

With that said, onto the next Build and I am starting of with the Refitted Enterprise.
I am using the plans by Monte R. Johnjulio Enterprise. These are not to bad, though I have found while getting the impulse engines to match from a top and side view, when on a rear it out quite a bit, after resizing the picture to get it to fit it will knock something else out. So unless someone knows of better plans these will have to do

I made the saucer the B/C Deck and the roughed out the bridge.
I lost count how many times it took to get it to were it is now. I am happy with the front end it the rear I am not happy with. I can't seem to get the shape right, but I will keep at it.
With that said, I am extremally happy with the way the B/C deck turn out, I just need to sort out the area for the large windows at the back.

Looking good so far, Dean!

Nice start, bro.

[Freak]

Thanks guys.
I am redoing the bridge again. Really not happy with it.

[scifidude79]

That bridge is a pain in the ass to get right.

[Freak]

Tell me about it.
I was trying to build it as one whole unit and Boolean separate object together IE the front roundness with the blocky back part. That was going no where and a crap look of issue that needs fixing or remodelling.
So I have bit the bullet and just model it as separate object and just join them together to from one object.
Just mean deleting faces that are not seen so the computer does not need to calculate them when rendering.

As I am already in these area, I started to add the details. Not what I was planning to do just yet but that the direction modelling this has taken me.

[scifidude79]

I don't even remember how I did the bridge when i built the ship, but that was five years ago. It's hard to believe it's been that long. The one for the ship I'm building now is similar, but different enough to be more CGI friendly.

[Freak]

So with just doing the roughing out of the top of the saucer, I was not happy with the bridge was and it was bugging me to hell.
I was just going to rough out the basic shape, but I got into the grove and just went out and detailed it.
I plan to detail the B/C Deck and then get back to roughing out the rest of the ship.
With that said, he is the updated version of the bridge.

Excellent work, Dean!  Wow!

[Freak]

Thanks Eric. It was fun to do.

[scifidude79]

Dude, that looks awesome. I think you nailed it.

[Freak]

Thanks Chris.

[Prime_8]

looks great. it looks like a solid styrene modle. I wanna paint it.

[Freak]

Thanks.

I have added the details to the B/C deck.
Not to sure on the lounge windows. They don't seem to be the right shape, and I have rebuilt them about four times. I think this is the close to what was actually used.







Next I am going to start work on the lower side of the saucer.
