Sorry for the double pics.

Must have obviously mistakenly attached twice.

For the moment, the entire exterior of the model has textures applied, though there is plenty of detailing still to come.

This pretty much tells me that DJ Curtis intends to do a lot more texturing to the ship then it has currently. I wouldn't worry too much about it

To expound upon that, will there be more "greebles" and such on the nacelle pylons? They seem kind of flat in an artistic sense compared with the rest of the ship.

lots more. though, moed, i kind of like the sharpness of those lines.

This ship is awesome. It just keeps getting better. I'm extremely impressed with your talent at creating such awesome ships. The only thing I notice is on the windows between the nacelles on the top of the ship. These windows are running in a straight line and I wasn't sure if it would look better if they went with the curve the hull (see image).

Thats what I've been trying to say but no-one seemed to care all that much.

And I like the sharpness as well. Makes the ship seems almost 21st Century as well.

The current pattern of those windows is what keeps them level. If they were to curve, the decks would appear to be rising.

edit: k what i've done is adjust the hull lines to match the windows.

Oh, thats nice. Will BC support see through faces?

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #510 on:** December 05, 2009, 10:53:40 AM »

Yes it will. Adonis is gonna give me the low down.

I really love that bussard assembly, it's been a bit since we've had any interior things on these ships. ;)

And I too like the sharp lines on the saucer.

Phantom0981 · « **Reply #512 on:** December 05, 2009, 05:57:24 PM »

Oh sorry I thought that they were slanting down the hull at an odd angle. But now that you have posted that picture DJ I can see what you are saying. AWESOME once again.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #513 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:01:59 PM »

it's a bit of an optical illusion. i agree it doesn't look quite tradition, but I did build it that way on purpose.

Aramus · « **Reply #514 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:06:23 PM »

this is an awsome piece of work. A1 ;)

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #515 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:06:52 PM »

thanks aramus.

Aramus · « **Reply #516 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:16:18 PM »

I just did a search for all DJCURTIS threads, and seen allot of your work, you are one of the best non-pro modelers I have seen for some time. I bet your married with kids and work a normal job and that. You should be doing this for a living with your ability.

sorry to drag this off topic, look forward to seeing your next update.

Fair enough ;) The more I look at it, the more it grows on me that it's meant to be that way on the ship.

Once again, nice work.

DJ Curtis · « **Reply #518 on:** December 05, 2009, 06:28:41 PM »

heh. that's the beauty of being the designer i suppose. i can always explain away my goofs as intentional. ;P

Vanguard · « **Reply #519 on:** December 05, 2009, 09:11:31 PM »

This has got to be one of my favourite 'fan' designs ever...

Why aren't you working on ST:O again? ;)
