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 :P

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.

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. :)

Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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

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