Looks good, but were they not like a blue / white lightning effect? dont remember green at all  :?

Loving that your using the sound from the film, this should rock, and im looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the inner chamber Baz.  :)

Will you be texturing the enterence to the next chamber from scratch or keeping that screenshot taken from the movie on the interior section?

It would look better if the enterence to the next chamber was textured from scratch rather then using a screenshot from the DVD.

In either case, it looks awesome.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I would also darken the textures down if your going to use the screenies from the film mate, looks great though.. but would look better darker  IMO  8)

AMAZING

the model work is superb, but i know that texturing this monster will be difficult (especially on the inside).

i think that the outside textures need to be a little bit more green and less brown and the inside a little more green and less blue

i don't know if you have seen this video, but it may help you out  :D

None DVD ref pics are very rare, I would love pics of the model it self with the lights turned off.

I've tried to tidy the mesh up but since it was built last year (and my skills were very sparse then) have found it to be problematic.

hence spent a few hours starting again.

I wonder how high the resolution is on those babies...:D Great work. If I can find something to blow it up, I'll be happy. :P

Personally, i think that the front section on the old one looks more like it

the 6 flanges sticking out of the front are supposed to be the same length and size. i think they could also be a little larger

all other parts of the new model look great!  :D

Right here is a question that is bugging me.

Which way is forward?

The Enterprise you assume is approuching the most direct root from Earth so when the cloud clears you see the big yellow tube. But in the directors cut the CGI V'ger is shown flying the yellow tube at the rear?

Is this the way it flys? I prefer the pre-directors cut notion of the yellow tube being forward.

Your thoughts?
