seriously...HOW did you get that Metal-Flake effect on those two?

First of all I contacted Andrew Probert to ask some questions regarding the TMP paint job. He put me in touch with Jason Ware who has scratch built a Enterprise-A 6ft model. He gave me same advise and his website has some great source matiral from his research.

I then applied this to my aztecs maps and added a spec map to match.

Here is it again on my primary TMP project which will be my main ship project after the new year.

Nice, very nice. though is it the angle of the renders or does the saucer rim a little too thick and some angles showing???

Saucer is correct to reference. will look better once texture finished.

If you're taking reference from Jason Ware's model, then the saucer is too thick, his (otherwise gorgeous) model has a noticeably thick saucer.

Yeah it is indeed thicker than it should be.

the model was built long before I knew of Jasons model. It is in correct shape and scale to the CGI model built for the directors cut TMP

Nice work Baz, great research too gotta love that effort

Think dawg is right on the saucer though it does look thick.

New saucer built from studio model reference

Been tweaking the deflector texture.

She's coming along well, dude! Can't wait to see the completed product!

Very good, excellent

WOW coming along very nicely.

Can't wait for more.

Your connie does look good. I also will soon improve my own version as well. I have some minor nitpicks on your mesh so far- The front part of the nacelles look a bit too squarish and they should be more round. Also, the torpedo bay should be more trapezoidal and not square. Good work so far!

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #2416 on:** December 22, 2010, 01:32:37 PM »

The way you two keep bouncing ideas off each other, you two should pick a ship to collaborate on, it'd probably be one of the best mods ever!

baz1701 · « **Reply #2417 on:** December 22, 2010, 06:27:52 PM »

Taken Wiley's suggestions onboard and also noticed major errors in the deflector.

So here is the corrected deflector and torpedo bay

Bones · « **Reply #2418 on:** December 22, 2010, 06:35:14 PM »

nacelles bottom is still either too fat or blocky but the rest is eye candy

cookie !

Dawg81 · « **Reply #2419 on:** December 22, 2010, 07:04:21 PM »
