Wow really great. Wonder what you will do with the naccelle texture. BTW cant wait for your realease of your part from christmas. Yes i know that real life is much more important than BC. Oh, and Cookie.

Good to have you back DJ.

Good work on this ship... really like the forward swept nacelles.

I've moved on to the underside of the cobra head. The details in here are taking a while, because I'm having to render a small bit, then go back to the model, then render again, and back, etc. so that I can get everything lined up just right.

As to the real life bit: It's not uncommon for me to put modeling to the side for a couple of months. Probably won't be the last time. I've been spending a lot of my free time playing STO with my wife. I should actually fire up BC soon. I don't think I've played since summer.

One other thing... do you guys have suggestions for the deflector color scheme? Yellow, blue? I was thinking of doing something similar to my Enterprise G and having a black exterior housing with a meshed blue glow on the inner parts. Thoughts?

007bashir · « **Reply #145 on:** January 24, 2011, 12:25:06 PM »

i'll say go with Enterprise G-style. Think it suits best compared with the other textures.

I've no idea why I'm suggesting this Color...But Purple Deflector?

You know, i had the same thought. Here would be the colors in purple/blue range I would suggest if you decide to go that route ,

It's the thing that SUCKS sometimes,,,

I figured as much about your absence. know how it is about that, finding time between life and what you really want to do. Seems like the older I get, the less time there is.

Things shaping up nicely on her, keep up the great work.

Well, I actually spent my RL time doing stuff I like. I have a great career that I somewhat blindly chose wisely. So when I'm not modeling, it's not taht I'm off miserable and toiling through hardships.... lol. I just choose to do other stuff from time to time.

Didn't mean for it to come off that way, just saying that does happen sometimes. I had been on DC Universe Online for a bit now myself. Those type of games can eat up alot of free time.,,

Sorry for getting off topic.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #151 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:59:26 PM »

No probs man. Didn't come off bad.

WileyCoyote · « **Reply #152 on:** January 24, 2011, 03:01:50 PM »

We don't see many of your ships that use subtle beveling of the hull paneling. I like it.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #153 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:14:00 PM »

I liked the beveling looked on the Athena, so I thought I'd try a more detailed version of it.

Here's the deflector and some more of the cobra head bottom.

Aeries · « **Reply #154 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:24:39 PM »

That's actually a really unique design for the deflector dish! I like it a lot. Roll with it. :]

flarespire · « **Reply #155 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:25:55 PM »

wow, this IS awsome, i could use some tips from you DJ, pm me if your willing to give me some tips k?

That sir is excellent. Like the details on the launchers also.

Sure looks good, but with the bevel effect in your last image, I'm not too sure if it looks that great.
