maybe, if I may make a suggestion, a Dominion war variant that has the extra shuttlebay on the saucer
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
-Pulp Fiction

Hmmm...4' or 6'  While I like the 6' because it separates...i love the 4' also because of all the added detail.  That's a toughy, but whichever you chose I will absolutely LOVE!

and Prime (NKA Villain):  I don't think Jimmy caught that LOL

I like the 6ft render you have there, I just like how the stardrive looks more smooth and organic

Wiley mate, a small headsup, BC "sees" triangular polies, so before you look at the poly count convert to editable mesh (since max count polies in triangular that way, in editable poly it will always be counted as a single poly no matter how many sides they have) and look at it that way ;) That mesh doesn't have 7k but most likely double of that.
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.

Yep.  Adonis is correct.  It's looking good.  It has a bit more of a stout look to it that mine does.  I think that deflector area and the front edge of the interhull need a bit of work, and the ends of the nacelles deserve a few more polys to smooth them out.  The bridge looks fantastic.

This is one I really look forward to seeing your take on the textures with.

Thanks Adonis and DJ Curtis for the advice and info. I agree that the deflector area needs work and maybe the pylons. I might have a sample today of how the textures look.

Looking excellent  :thumbsup: Really look forward to seeing your texture work on this, as DJ crammed so much accurate detail into his, and your texturing skills are quality..

A far simpler way is to set the viewports stats to show tri count :P

That makes the ship now 16.1k polys. I'm starting to texture the upper saucer using DJ's color scheme. I might do something lighter, closer to the studio model's colors. I have also added a slight bevel to the aztec to appear more 3-dimensional. Enjoy. :)

Slight update to show I'm still working on the Ent-D- the upper command section of the saucer is done and I've started detailing the underside of the saucer. I still have some minor things to add like warning strips, etc. I am taking my time with this one due to school, so don't expect updates every week. I'll update whenever I have something to show:)
