    It would be easier for fans of your work to look in on a particular ship / design project by name in its own thread.

    There's also nothing wrong with posting a few summary images to this thread as a kind of master compilation, along with links to each project-within-"The Project".

    Panels and subpanels and some decals and stuff. Added a lower core hatch but forgot I had made one for the neck too so I have to decide which I will use and remove one. (well upper one is evident from panels on the neck as I have not modeled the hatch. And NO they do not align hence the fact I have to consider one over the other.
    I also have started working the nacelles.

    Wow! I am honored that you have seen them. I will admit that I may have stolen a few ideas from you in some of my ships. This "Wedge Trek" ship design is equally inspiring and I would love to build a physical model of this.

    odd I did not post these back on the 3rd. Guess cause I did not render much out. Ignore materials as they are for quick selection.

    Trimmed up and got rough objects for the reg in place. Dealt with the panels as well. Not sure what i will do with the red paint around the lower part of the nacelle as they become little bars or dashes. Hate to say it but Im thinking maybe the placement of some of the aft nacelle details is a bit too far forward. EXP from the zigzag bits just aft of the pennant lines.

    I think the nacelle details look very well balanced (front-to-rear) where they are. Just at thought: the vertical red stripe kink at the base of the pylons might flow better as a simple radiused corner aft without the forward corner bend.

    various details and mapping out the wedge paneling. KIM each color block is the primary plate and will be grooved then subsected with smaller panels.

    Small update as the stray cat and dinner distracted me all night. Rough lower panel layout. Likely split these in half lengthwise.

    Ok upper plating and a small distraction to the struts. I have redone all of this a few times as I found my secondary panel lines were way to wide. I also had decided that I wanted to sort of emulate the heavy lines/stripes in the physical study model. I did not want to make them panel lines as in the model but suggestion as some sort of surface detail or some kind of surface mechanism. I still might extrude them from the hull as well. It does look a bit to busy rendered out. Looks better in viewport. . . . lol so maybe I will alter things tomorrow.

    I almost do not want to put windows in to the wedge.

    Looking great! I know what you mean about adding details you know have to go on. You do get used to looking at it for so long without them, you wonder if you need them at all.

    Well often windows are over done, good example is the DIS in the cbs teaser. I just think they might visually detract from the hull. I only have a few areas where there is room for empty rooms on the wing as well. Well, least the upper wedge, lower section is a little more open. A lack of shuttle bay cargo and drive housings.

    Small set of windows and some layout of windows on the inner hull. Probably too many so I might weed some out.

    Bit slow going as I am doing more reading and backlog tv watching than modeling!

    Detached the main panels from the central hull and redid the UVW so it is unique to each panel. IE texture does not span the main hull across the panels etc. Cut and did interiors (no maps atm) and added interior lights. I have not cut any of the previous blue lip windows in the wedge as I am still thinking about them as they are mostly skylights.

    I might have missed it somewhere in the topic, but from what era is this? It seems to be right before TOS or TOS itself, but some elements give me a vibe that it's a few years after Enterprise.

    I would think this is only 10~20yrs senior to the constitution. The enterprise was already 20yrs old by the time Kirk took command for his 5 year mission. I would have preferred a lower registry like 1006 or so to predate canon ships but at the time I was unwilling to go below ncc - 1000, now I am th8inking about it Maybe ncc 986 would be a better number.

    KIM I rarely model to canon visual as I add my own detail to things. This would likely follow the same design take as my Daedalus class.

    Since I am posting, layouts for the lower saucer windows. The upper or top saucer windows I am debating on if they will be on the surface like the lower ones or in stepped in recesses. There will be only one ring on the top. I also might pull some of these lower windows off to minimize them some.

    Example of inset windows.
