no the phaser has. it is now correct

Actually, I am sorry to say this, but it isn't correct.


The registery textures on the nacelles looks too squashed. Same with the starfleet insignia by the deflector. And the spot lights could still use a bit of tweaking.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

What Billz said. The reg should be at least one large panel away from the phaser array.
"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."

I think the phaser was moved too far forward.

So ol' Doc McCoy helped on this?  He did the same for my 1701-A retex, he's good at what he does. :)

yep that's right (I'm a  doctor, I fix pe ....textures :lol: ) ventral reg should be one panel to the forward also dorsal saucer reg isn't aligned to panels properly but these should be easy to fix

Some more excelsior updates. I'm not happy with the upper aft and may rebuild it.

I like the look, just think the engineering hull should be longer, giving it a smoother layout.
And still think the refit's engineering "bulge" would look good on it.

I have already started a rebuild based on my concept pic.

The aft section is longer than the pic

The saucer really seems overblown.  If I were you I'd knock it down 25%.

That's a very nice JJ-Excelsior.  That JJ-Prise could use a little more work in comparison.  Either way, cookie awayyyyyy!

The Saucer is ment to be that big to fit the whole JJ look

I quite like the oversized saucer. Very nice work Baz.

I preffered the JJ-celsior in the post with:

Looked more Celsior and JJ at the same time.
