Are you going to be adding those Phaser arrays that are on the bridge? That is the one thing I don't like about STO's Sao Paulo, they look out of place, plus they squish the Ship's name.

They will be added.  I'll make it work though.

Sao Paulo is finished, save for the phaser strips.

They're both looking fantastic.  Can't wait to see them painted and ready to go kick some butt.

The 'nose' seems a but far out from the hull?

Unless its like that on the original defiant as well, I've been playing STO so much I forget what the original Defiant looks like.

The Defiant is rarely seen from such an angle, but yes, I've seen a particular shot of the studio model at Christie's where you can see straight through to the other side.  There are greebles in there that would clog it up more, but I'm texturing those in rather than modeling them.

I take it that the Defiant and Sao Paulo are going to have Quad phaser cannons and quantum torpedoes when hardpointed aren't they?

Actually, I was thinking of giving it tribble cannons and burrito torpedoes.

Stayed up all night to do the mapping, and I've got a bit of texturing done.  Color palette is not final - feels a bit cartoony at the moment.

Definitely a good start on the Defiant.

@flarespire: I see what you did there.

I think the colour pallet looks fine, its just missing the other texture details. Once those are there it will probably look right.

Once it's got a bit of texture in there, it should be fine :) Great work btw

ya know after looking at those pics I think the nose is just a tad to far from the main body... that gap between them looks to large to me.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I'm dealing with the same thing with my Galor.  However, your textures look much better than mine.  Maybe an aztec style pattern on top of these textures might satisfy what you're looking for.  I'm going to try the same with mine.
