Please don't send me reference pictures.  I know the differences.  Believe me, I've read pages and pages of this topic about the right color choice and the minuscule paneling details-- it's an ongoing debate.  I'll be extra careful with this one.

With help from Tiqhud, the Kelvin, Kelvin-prise are almost ready for release, while the Trek XI Enterprise is being tested and bugs being fixed.

Awesome, I can't wait!  I especially look forward to your Excelsior - definitely the best I've ever seen.

If people really want to anal over the Enter-refit and the Enter-A the sensor domes either side of the deflector were lost during the painting from the battle damaged TSFS version to the TVH Enter-A. The kit bashed Darth Vaders tie fighter store bought kits to hash new ones together. Other than the paint job that is the only part of the model to be change between TMP and the models retirement in TUC.

What about the FTech script I mentioned? Any chance of seeing that for your connie refit?
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I want to do everything and anything with the connie refit.  I don't know much about FTech or Engine warm up scripting, I'll probably get a few people to help me with it.

I've been playing around with the engine warm-up script that came with Adonis's Ashton Science ship.  I've got my JJrprise's bussards powered down when not in warp, and powered on in warp, and back to unpowered out of warp.  Now the ship will look more like it did in the trailer and released pics.  It's awesome! :D

Thank Adonis. He was the one who made that FTech script in the first place. I think. I'm not 100% sure.

PS: Awesome update. I can't wait to see your Ent Refit and/or Ent-A textures.

Thanks for the comments.  Everyone has been saying that I "baked" in the glows.......I did not.  All the ships are about finished...I'm trying to change the fTech script so it is used just for the JJrprise, because the Ashton ship is using the same script too.

It looks like it's textured on.  I was thinking of doing that for my Apollo WIP.

That third pic Wiley, is it photoshopped or is that actually in BC?

Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

The third pic is actually from BC, but I added the motion blur, tilted the image, and added "litter-box" black bars.

YES! Those phasers are actually there! I love accuracy...
