OK, here's what you screwed up with them torp tubes:

The inset wall isn't straight on the x axis, it goes the same V shape as the edge, the second thing is that small structure between the two torp tubes, it is a shape of a cross, and not that triangle you did as the horizontal part of it.
Easy is the path to wisdom for those not blinded by themselves.

Hi guys,

Things are slowing down here now, most of our training for our deployment to afghan is complete, so now its admin time, some leave then 7 months, wearing the desert kit again  :)

Anyway the past few days have been generous enough for me to get back to my PC at home and work on the Connie, as I cannot work on it on the lappy..

Still allot to do, but thought I should show that this project still has a heart beat whilst I do. Take care fellas.

Just goes to show with 3 versions of this ship recently undertaken just how popular the refit connie still is.

Great job mark, can't wait to see her nacelles.

Thanks for all your kind comments fellas,

Dawgy the mesh is 100% right the way through and sits at 6900k Polies.

Baz & DJ ur both right, the ship is Iconic

Wiley, not sure about that, but thanks mate.

Billz.                   Hmmm hands him a tissue  8) lol

So the constitution project is all about making a TNG connie, before i attempted it again, I wanted to build the TMP connie, to try and get a full feel for the ship, I can see this project turning out really well with all your input, thanks fellas.(unfortunately, im not wiley so you may have to be patient with this one, but I do promise the best connie 100% for BC when im done, unless DJ decides to make one...  8))

I have spent the last 5 hours, adding in all phaser hp's and ship lights, and adjusting the mesh to keep it clean and low...   still some mesh adjustments to make, such as underside large windows, etc, but then the necelles.  :lol:

you certainly needn't worry about me doing this any time soon.  i don't really like doing canon stuff that often.

This is truly awesome work.  The community owes you, baz, and Wiley for bringing new life to this ship.  :D

that is one nice mesh. With your skills at smoothing, maybe you should throw in a few orion slave girl meshes...you know..without any clothes 8)
I just realised something. I've released over 300 fully modded ships for bridge commander. Bow to your master :D
