There we go...That's what I'm talking about lol.  The deflector housing is off...Those screenies show it :).  Otherwise it's shaping up!  A few tweeks and she's perfecto!

Well I may rebuild the secondary hull, they seem to be my achilles hill.

done some more work on the secondary hull, re-shaped the fantail and re-built the sensors around the deflector.

Also added the docking ports and torp tubes

I can see mesh errors a plenty, but, you have the shape of the ship very well modelled, nice work.

Normally, I'm not a fan of the refit Enterprise. I don't dislike it but I don't find it to be the 'holy grail of Trek' like a few I have had experience with.

That being said, this model is looking awesome. Khalibans model was good, but dated.

Is this going to use the FTech script 'TMP Warp Warm Up' like what is on Adonis's Akyazi, Oberth and Ashton models?

Thanks guys.
 
The ship is pretty much ready for textures now. But would anyone do me the honour of taking a look at it to see it they can correct the few errors in the mesh? Credit will be given.

Well I'm not happy with the array but the bridge and impulse deck I am happy with and match my ref source.

Thanks for the feed back though.

Could you get a close up of the shuttle bay?

I'm asking because it looks like there could a big mesh error but I need a close-up pic to verify that.

I would also suggest that you check to make sure it is all welded (I think I have the term right) so that it damages well in game and does not suffer from dissapearing parts.

  other than that suggestion, I think it is coming along really well.

Pics will be posted by 18.30 GMT

The ships components are not attached as one yet as I'm still playing with it. The verts will be welded before I port it to nifskope.

looking good baz the sensor dome on the saucer needs to be fixed the light apertures need to be widened more on all sides and the forward sticks out a little more than the others. Also it appeared to be an error on the fantail right below the shuttlebay cookie for your efforts

I passed the mesh over to Zero last night to look at the fantail problems.

I will be rebuilding the sensor array as I agree it is not right.
