I'm in love  :shock:

Yes, the model is perfectly seamless.  Every vertex lines up, and there are no mesh errors at all.

Excellent!
I eagerly await her release! :D

If only I had this sucker now.  With the right registries, the separated version would be perfect for the cover of the first story in my new fan fic series.

update time.

textures for the top of the cobra head are almost done.  I'm having trouble getting good references for the saucer indentation though.  Neb helped me out, but screencaps are pretty blurry.  If anyone has a good picture or diagram of that area, please post it.

Unfortunately, getting anything better than the screencaps from the DVDs is going to be a bear.  Unfortunately, because the original effects for TNG were filmed then later composited over to video, they're not going to be as good as a straight film to HD, which is probably why the people at CBS are seriously considering doing the TOS-R treatment for all the FX for TNG once they get around to it.

if anyone has an old amt/ertl kit, could they take a picture of that saucer undercut and then post it here.

Great vid DJ! Just don't forget to have the saucer impulse engines lit when it's seperated - it looked like they were off.

Take note, though, that none of the windows were lit, either. The impulse engine glow will be added later on with the windows, I'd imagine. But I can't speak for DJ, so... I'll hush now. :X

No probs DJ  :D

To get the best resolution I managed to stick it in my scanner but in fairness there is not a lot of detail on the saucer indent. I also apologise for the state of the model, I've had it for 10+ years and I had to stick the two ship parts together using sticky tack because the bloody thing wouldn't fit right in the first place!!  :argh:

Anyways I hope it helps you out, for the blank sections I would fill in the gaps with detail from the cobra head of the stardrive. For instance, inverting the escape pod textures to create an indent would be logical.

Good luck with the textures (not that you'll need it!!).

Regards
