I'm almost done with the pack. I just need to texture the B-type ships and finish the mystery treat and I'll be all set.

OH, That's good news.  Good new indeed :D.  I really look forward to seeing your Excelsior Refit, it's also been a favorite of mine, although I do prefer the Grey/Blue look of the old Excelsior instead of the White/Teal look of the Refit but hey that's canon lol.

Wow those are absolutely gorgeous!  I can't wait to see your version of the Ent-B/Lakota.  The only thing that I never liked about them, was the fact that they were a White/Teal color.  I would have much preferred them to have been a darker Grey and Blue like the other Excelsiors.  You wouldn't have the spare time to maybe paint a Lakota styled Excelsior the same color as your NCC-2000 would you? :D.

Also, I noticed on the NCC-2000 that the stripes just below the Deflector are a neat little aztec pattern.  They're fine as is, but if your intent is to get it as close to canon as possible, I just wanted to point out that the Stripes on the Excelsior in Star Trek VI were just solid stripes.  Of course if you already knew that and you just wanted to spice it up, then disregard by observation lol.

Maybe in the future I'll do a B-type with the NCC color scheme, as I'm curious as to how that would look myself. ;)

As for the stripes, you're right. I didn't notice that. But I think I'll keep them as is; it helps make the ship look bigger.

great job you did forget the phaser banks on the under sinde of the engineering hull and on top of the shuttlebay

The four phaser turrets on the bottom of the engineering hull have been on my model all along. I've never seen an Excelsior studio model with phasers on the shuttle bay.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. :)

I'm pretty much done with the Enterprise B. I'll do all the spec maps once the total pack is done. Just the Lakota and the Mystery Treat are all that's left. Here are some renders.

I wish I could create something as awesome as this someday...wow.

I've never seen an Excelsior studio model with phasers on the shuttle bay.

Take a look at Wileys Excels for the placements.
All hail the messiah!

Outstanding!

The Excelsior Class(s) have always been my favorites up until the Sovereign came along... now they're a close 2nd.

Thanks for the cookies and compliments, everyone!

Lurok, I seem to remember you saying something about a new Enterprise-B bridge at some point in this thread?  :D :angel

That Enterprise-B just about puts mine to shame. Excellent work. Cookie away!

Wiley, your Excelsiors are slammin'. Nothing could ever put them to shame. They are some of my favorite models and I use them all the time.:)

The Lakota is nearly finished. I'll post pics soon.

Well-deserved cookies  :)   

Funnily enough, Ent B bridge I think is one of best in BC, esp with Bones textures (only real bug is rear console).  But I did say would like to do a better Excelsior Refit/Lakota bridge  :D

How about an non-refit with a refit paint job? I love the White and Teal.

These look amazing.

This is awesome!

Could you point me to the post that lists the total mods coming from this pack. If there isn't one, could you list them all?

These are outstanding.  Looking forward to seeing more.

In case you do decide to make a Refit version painted in pre-Refit colors, I was just wondering if you had a name in mind for her?  I was thinking USS Cherokee NCC-42770 since it would go good with the Lakota.  Just throwing that out there  :thumbsup:

This pack will include an improved NX Excelsior, an NCC Excelsior, the TNG Hood, the DS9 Valley Forge, the Enterprise-B, the Lakota, and the Mystery Treat. Speaking of the treat I have a couple sneak renders of it. :)
