Lint, your connie looks good, but there are a few things that need to be addressed:

1) Some of the textures on the bottom of the saucer and on the rim look off
2) The colors of the Buzzards should be reversed, the black should be small and rotating, not the red
3) The dome deck right below the bridge is a little mis-shapen
4) The impulse engines don't glow right, they're too wide rectangular.
5) The warp drive nacelles need to be brought up a little higher
6) The cowlings on the rear end of the nacelles are wrong.  I don't know how to explain it, but look at the studio model and you'll see.
7) The bridge...I'm sorry, but the shape of it doesn't match the shape of the ship that you're doing.  You're doing the regular run Enterprise, but the Bridge is shaped more like the "Cage" bridge module.

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to help you make the absolute best TOS Enterprise that you can make, as I know you can do it.  Honestly, the best resources for you would be screenshots of the Enterprise from the remastered show as that model was created from scans of the studio model, and pictures of the model itself from the Smithsonian, assuming it still has an honored place there.

Been awhile since an update,
I have made a bunch of changes to the connie,
Fixed the "blocky" registry,
Raised the nacelles,
Added a lot more detail to the textures (shuttle bay area)
And Genty has provided me with new Bussard Textures which now DO glow in BC.

Here is a render of her and an in game pic

Thanks DJ, it took a while getting it right, but I think it was worth it.

It's basically the same, but I had to make quite a few changes to get it to work right in BC.

NEED MOAR DIFFERENT ANGLE VIEWS!

 :shock:

Watch out, here comes a cookie frisbee!

EDIT: Actually, the bridge deck area beneth the glowing dome is slightly off. As in, it kinda looks like a over inflated care tire.

Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I think the decks beneath the bridge, should be shorter.  Bussards look perfect, and the ship is really crisp.

Wow lint, I love the new buzzards, and it looks like you have the warp nacelles perfectly elevated.  Now my only suggestions are to work on the bridge area and work a little on the impulse engine, it seems a bit blocky.

Lovely work with the Roosevelt and K7.

I made a video showing how the Bussards look in game, they look better full screen though.

There are still a few details that are off on the Enterprise. I am not sure if your mod is based on the original model or the remastered CGI model.

If the it is the latter, these screenshots may prove useful.

There is a mistkae on the insignia on the side of your model. Notably, the grey bits that appear on the sides of the hip before the insignia. Your ship doesnt have them. Those grey bits were also on the original studio model from the sixties.

Once again, I love the new buzzard collectors.  Though I want to see the aft ends of the nacelles to see if you've made any adjustments.

I know that phaser worked pretty hard to iron out some common but very annoying problems with other TOS connies out there including wierd damage problems with the model (parts dissapear if ship sustains visible damage).

  Will these ship models damage okay?
