Happy late b-day WC!

I have no doubt you will make this ship look as evil and somewhat scary as it did in the movie and I can't wait!
All hail the messiah!

Thanks everyone. I'm refining some aft detail (smoothing not added yet). When this is done, it should be around the 18-19k poly mark.

Very nice Wiley!  I can see a number of connections between this design and the Valdore/Scimitar from Nemesis.  I think this one is perhaps a bit more elegant, though.

No pics yet, but the center structure is nearly complete. I just realized BC that has not had a new Sona battleship in almost 10 years. Was it a difficult ship to build or a lack of popularity?

I'd say lack of popularity (slightly) and then it got somewhat forgotten due to having so many mods to choose from.

Excellent work BTW.

The movie it took place in wasn't the most popular Star Trek.  I still thought the ships were cool though.  Look forward to this one  :thumbsup:

The movie might be "generally" regarded as less popular than most of them, but in retrospect, I firmly believe it was better than the P.O.S that came after it, named 'Nemesis'. F Murray Abraham (Ruafo) is certainly a better actor, and a better villain, than Tom Hardy (Shinzon) was.

I really liked Nemesis! Then again, I thought First Contact was average so...
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
 We are not now that strength which in old days
 Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
 One equal temper of heroic hearts,
 Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
 To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I think we should stop talking about which TNG movie was better and get back to talking about BC mods. My original question was answered.

Wiley, that detail is amazing!  You have any plans of doing Ruafo's ship as well?
