Damn fine work, Baz. I've never been much for the Nemesis colour scheme, but I watched it on blu-ray over the weekend and was surprised by how much I liked it. Nicely detailed but too dark.

Certainly my favourite Enterprise, and you do her justice.

Baz, watch out for the stretched mapping on the underside of the engineering hull near the deflector. It's a tricky area to look right.

Can you also render a close up view of the upper saucer's aztec plating (outer-most ring near the escape pods)? It looks a little strange.

Overall, AWESOME work! The Sovereign is a VERY DIFFICULT ship to build, let alone texturing it.

Wiley's right.  The curvature of that secondary hull is a pain in the arse to map out.  Great build though.

good spot fellas, I had noticed and was on the list of things to fix. So had an hour to kill this morning due to a puncher so I fixed it. Also the top render Wiley requested.

Completely off-topic, but what is a "puncher"?

More on topic:
Are those triangle thingies extruded so far, or do see that wrong?
I thought they were on an equal 'level' with the ring section that they start at.

Actually they're right!
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return, to obtain, something of equal value must be lost.  That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.  In those days we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth~Alphonse Elric

I can already see it's as accurate as you can get it textures wise, tho you have put windows alcoves in the inner ring of ventral saucer in the wrong segment, you put them more in the back, there's even a dark grey blank spot on both sides and right after that you have modeled-in windows which should be placed in this blank spot ;) my god... I suck at explaining these things :D also the aztecing on uoter ring of top saucer side seems to be stretching out too much towards the front. it's just a small nitpick, the rest is stunning !

Need some Beta testers for TIQ's shuttle. So far I have only heard back from a couple of testers who could not test it.

If I don't hear from anyone by Saturday I will release as is warts and all.
