The Shuttle will be sent out to beta soon. Had few RL things taking up my time. But it is not forgotten.

Is that your Sov mesh? There've been that many I can't remember whether you built one or not. xD Looking good at any rate.

Don't know the poly count to hand but it is not high.

All the shown textures are mine no place holders.

Looking excellent. I take it that you're going for the Nemesis colour scheme?

And now that you've got me wanting to build one, did you use any pre-existing ortho's as a basis? I know there're quite a few out there with various degrees of accuracy.

Baz, be careful with the coloring because it looks too dark. Most references don't match the onscreen coloring.

Also your escape pods are being covered up by the phaser strip beneath the saucer. A row of inset windows closest to the quantum launcher are not in the correct location. Make sure to check your references.

I take your point about the colour. My intention is to texture it as per the refs to get the shading right them worry about the contrast after.

Ignore the nacelles for now as they are the Nemesis orthos mapped on for reference but the rest is mine.

I think Wiley was working on that once upon a time, but I think other things came up.

baz you  (and other modders) amaze me with your ability to recreate the ships that are from trek... the only thing ive made that was an actual ship from trek was that Type9a Shuttle and the Sphinx work-pod (thank you for your help with the shuttle) but things like that sovie... just incredible.

Is it me or do the black areas around the escape pods look a bit reddish? Looking good so far!

Getting there slowly. As for the aztecs they are 2 to 3 layers deep.

And this is the reason why the Sovereign is my all time favorite star ship class. :D
