Well, as some of you know, my tutorial Enterprise was lost in a hard drive crash.  So, I'm going to build an even more accurate model (accurate to the 11 foot filming model), if I can.  I know it doesn't look like much, but here's a start.  And I don't have as much time to devote to this as I would like.

And yes, there's a very specific reason why I haven't cut in any windows yet.  Plus, I may have to remake the neck, I'm not sure yet.  I have to do some more research.

It looks great, bro.

It looks like a lot to me. That teardrop alone takes a while to do. Plus, if you're going for super accuracy, then you're continuously checking references, which slows things down.

Thank you, Chris!  I appreciate that a lot!

Yep, I tried two different methods for the BC Deck.  I still have to go back and flatten out the back of the "drop" a little more.

I appreciate the encouragement.  And I am checking references ... a lot!

I had to do the very back of my teardrop more than once, then there was still some fiddling with it before I finalized the Sub D. Then there were the inevitable renders to look for errors. So, yeah, it's not really a part you can rush.

Looks like your off to a great start with this.

Even with the Tut you posted on the YouTube, that B/C deck is a pain in the arse to get right.

A little more progress.  No textures, just materials to make renders a little easier to see.
