Amazing!

But it looks like the secondary hull docking port is in the wrong place. Unless it's just the way I'm looking at it (I'm in bed).

Been looking at pics and I think it needs to be moved back slightly.

Thanks for all the comments fellas,

Not sure about the docking port I will look into that, will be doing some more this afternoon, hopefully she should be finished by this evening 8) and then Im going to map and texture as I go, so we may even get a texture update lol..

Can't wait.

I'm not all too sure about the docking port myself but as soon as i saw the port it just didn't look right. I think it needs to go back slightly so it's in line with the end of the torpedo launcher exhaust vent or whatever that black thing is on the back of it! :lol:

Great job by the way!

Before I moved on I looked into the docking port and it looks fine,

The other port on the main hull, is slightly off because it looks that way on the studio model, but the one you are referring too looks right.

Those big underside windows added, also a wire, as I have had a few PM's asking about clean meshes etc.

Great work.

Mark I was refering to the docking port on the secondary hull not the torpedo bay one.

You are really are doing this beauty justice anyhow. We are being spoiled by great Connies of all shapes and sizes

Pretty wire. Great model

Sorry fellas, Dawgy sent me a message regarding the Saucer thrusters that needed modelling in, with the shape of my saucer, and its low poly iterations, to include the RCS thrusters took more work than I thought, and now its time to cook dinner. No necelles tonight.

Thanks mate, TNG Connie next

I have the pylons done, Im not 100% happy with them yet, but once I am I will start on the necelles 8)

Billz · « **Reply #93 on:** July 22, 2009, 06:51:25 PM »

If you intend to finish the TMP Connie fully, will you be making all Ent and Ent-A varients?

There were several colour changes in ST 1-6 of the Ent refit and Ent-A. I have been waiting for someone to implement them into one ultimate pack.

Also, chamfering on the neck and pylon edges of the TMP Connie? Finally, someone (markyd) is making her RIGHT 8) and I applaud you for it.

Marky is taking his time on this one it will be fully detailed the thrusters were my idea in part of this closeup shot of the RCS thrusters

CyAn1d3 · « **Reply #95 on:** July 23, 2009, 11:14:22 AM »

soo many beautiful details.... sooo crappy a video card i have... i sad

Ironically, that shot proves that the RCS thrusters were flush with the hull, not extruded.

While I'm not an expert on the TMP Constitution design (I haven't poured over images of it like I have The OS Constitution), this looks really good to me! Could you post a wireframe view of the area where the nacelle pylons meet the secondary hull? Connecting anything to a curved surface without smoothing errors is an egg I just haven't been able to crack, so any help would be appreciated.

Also, just an observation: You might want to increase the number of polys on the pylon near where it joins the secondary hull. It looks too low poly there at the moment.

MarkyD · « **Reply #97 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:41:49 AM »

No problem mate, I recently did some reshaping in that area too.. currently building the necelles.

The RCS thrusters are already flush to the hull mind.

That's a good looking mesh.

They're a @#$%^ to do...trust me, start out with a capsule and a chamfer box. ;)
