So.. I figured I'd start modelling one.

Probably the best idea this year.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. 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."

Definately, we need a new Type 6. It's got to be one of the only ships where the Current one is still stock.
Build a game and people will be happy for a few years. Build a community... Well, look at BC. :D
Here's to another 20 years!

If I remember right a project for all the shuttles was started a while ago, but I assume RL sucked it into limbo. There's always the CGI Voyager Type-6... Quite possibly my favourite craft in BC just because of how tiny it makes you feel sized against the Excal. ;) That image there is the result of 10 minutes work, so.. a minute per 100 poly's!

Definitely going to push what I can of it, though. And if I don't get lazy, an interior! Worked for that Type-11...

The CGI shuttle is a type 8. The Cochrane is a type 9, the Chaffee (the Defiants shuttle) a type 10 and a type 11 a Sovie shuttle. Then theres the bobble shuttles used a lot in TNG (Picard calls it "a perfectly good shuttlecraft") which are type 7's and this lovely shuttle a type 5. And I think the Onizuka is a type 6.

Just realised I missed the way the aft section kind of pops out. But yeah, maybe they could spread just a wee bit.

Nice! You gonna indent the windows? Also, should the front of the nacelles be that flat? Are they not more rounded?

Yeah, I'm gonna handle the windows with modelled in bumps, but other than that I think the rest is best textured (Not to mention easier on me. :P) The nacelles do stub off, but if you look close at the reference (Even if it is terrible) They do just like of cut off.
