Winging it right now - the rigging on this shouldn't be complex in any event. It's a deliberately simple, mechanical design - we ain't doing Na'vi here.

Hang on, so why exactly did I have to strip naked and be painted blue? I feel violated now.Winging it right now - the rigging on this shouldn't be complex in any event. It's a deliberately simple, mechanical design - we ain't doing Na'vi here.

Right movie, wrong egomaniac.
Crap, you're right! Doh!
Hey, that's pretty slick. Guess I'd better include a docking bay for those things. You given any thought to how many they would have on board?
I was going to post some big updates on the Polaris this weekend but I went to boot up my workstation at home last night and it crashed on startup. Not sure what's going on yet, maybe some bad memory or a graphics card failure, but it will have to be fixed before I can make any further progress.
In the mean time, I do have a couple of new renderings from last week:
This is part of the FTL drive system. I detailed all the internal guts for two reasons: First, because some of it is visible around the edges of the sphere even with the access panels closed; second, because the objects surrounding the sphere relate to a specific plot point in the script. Dennis, you may recognize these as "Nielsen generators."
A few more images will be available in the Fan Art thread as soon as I get them posted.

That's really quite beautiful, Vektor.
Whatever works for you.Well, in a Popular Mechanics sort of way, I suppose.
Seriously, though, loving the craftsmanship here.
Wow! Nice work! 
Marvelous.
I hope that within the next two to three months we'll be able to put something from the movie online that will include this ship.

I must have that GNDN pillow for my living room sofa.
Hey, Dennis. Any chance you'll be attending Farpoint and showing some bits from Polaris there? I haven't heard anything along this line, but I missed your presentation at Shore Leave. Let me know!
Just curious... what are you quoting with the "Don't care, don't care, don't care?" (I'm not sure if that ? should be outside the quotes with a "." in side, so forgive my grammar.)

We'll have something at Farpoint...just what is a matter of discussion right now.
