Yeah, I'm afraid I'm not quite as imaginative as those, so I'm just going to put up some pictures.   :funny

Nihilus is probably closest.  Basically going artistic license with the skin.  Still not finished, and I've got plenty of details left to add, but here it is at the moment.

Since so many have already been released, I figured I give mine something a little different.

Interesting. I'm kind of in the middle on this one. But I can see where you are going with this one. Let the variants/interpretations commence!

Looking good as always DJ.  Any plans to add aft Phasers/Torpedo launchers?  I was reading earlier that on Enterprise, the Defiant was supposed to launch Torpedoes from somewhere around her Impulse Engines but someone down the line didn't get the memo and they ended up firing them from the Phaser turret above the shuttle bay.  I was just wondering what your ideas were for your interpretation.

Quote from: Memory Alpha
According to Bonchune, the location of the aft torpedo launcher on the CGI model of the Defiant was "the little round port right between the impulses engines. We tried to make it logical with what existed so we didn't have to make a new hole on the ship. Everyone agreed, except that apparently if you frame by frame it, they actually come from the hangar bay phaser mounts. Someone in the chain ether decided against it or didn't know. Even one of the writers was surprised it hadn't been done as discussed."

Agreed, but, DJ, one little nitpick.  The registry doesn't fit where it is right now..maybe lower it like on the TMP Enterprise.  Oh, and you could do something similar to this with the registry.  Just a suggestion, however you do it I'm sure you'll get like 6,000,000 downloads in one week (including mine) ;)

Nice new makeup for the ole'girl. Looks great all around. :thumbsup:

Thought you left out the inner working of the bussard collectors, but after a closer look, I see them now.
 Should have known better, you wouldn't leave out that kind of detail. :D

This looks really good.  Is it me or does the hull registry seem too small in proportion to the ship?  The textures are win but the size of the registry makes the saucer seem huge.
