    Thanks guys, glad you like eh. :D

    M'Sharak, I don't recall exactly but I believe that it is somewhere along the edge of Rocky Mountain's east ridge, or maybe the east ridge of the Sierras, can't recall exactly, wish I could, as I am a geo-geek myself. ;)

    Gorgeous work. This ship would've looked sweet on the big screen. My compliments.

    Re: deg3D_"Standard orbit Mr. Sulu."

    I don't know whether this or Vektor's is my favorite revision of the TOS ship. They're both remarkable.

    Thanks very much guys, I really appreciate your nice words. Glad you like the shots as much as I do. ;)

    I really like putting and seeing E in real life-like scenarios. So cool. :D

    Thanks jediadept. :)

    Do you mean build a practical real model of her?

    I'm not so sure how practical it''ll be, but when I've finished with my Polar Lights 1:350 Enterprise refit; I'd first like to modify a Polar Lights TOS Enterprise kit. Then when the casting and wiring bugs have been worked out, I'll seriously consider modifying my 1:350 Master Replica TOS Enterprise.

    She will not be for resale, it's for my personal challenge and enjoyment.

    Thanks dude, I will continue to do so as I make 'em eh. ;) Still have to build some shuttle-craft for some shuttlebay shots I have in mind, exterior approaching as well as interior landed.

    Perhaps you know this already jediadept, but in case not, practical models are what 'real" models are referred to these days, now that CG modeling has emerged. And sure dude, have at it, just send or post some pic when you are done with her eh. ;)

    I miss my practical days in many ways. Maybe I will build her as my TOS.5 at some point too. In the meantime, love to see what you come up with in that regard eh. :)

    It was “Practically” a weak pun on my part.
    Thank you for your permission; I understand how protective a designer can become of their work and I didn’t want to step on your toes.

    I’d be honored to post some pics for you; With my current work schedule it’ll be about a year out

    Thanks again,
    jediadept

    Oh sure sure, I got yer pun intended then bud, just wanted to be sure you were playin' one. ;)

    And hey, I really appreciate you taking the time to honor me with your request (as the Viking/Klingon in me is big on honor eh), so thanks for that. You show yourself to be an honorable guy in my book eh. :)

    And time is not an issue eh, having fun doing it is though. ;)

    So have at it, and Live Long and Prosper my friend,

    Between this and Vektor's work (to say nothing of the other talented folks who "live" here), I need to check my shorts for leakage every time I visit this forum.

    deg, Dude, Congratulations! You've got some of the biggest names in Star Trek design and FX complementing your work! :techman:

    A shot at the 2011 SOTL Calender !?! How cool is that!

    Congratulations!

    Humbly,

    Thank you sO much guys, and yeah, it is sO cool beyond words! I'm still spinning eh. My dream come true to have THOSE guys, THEE TREK Guys, giving me such high-praise cred! It's like a dream come true. Wait, not like, it is a dream come true! Seriously, I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm awake! :)

    Plus, again, its just so cool to know how happy I have been able to make so many fellow Trekkers with my vision of E. Makes it all the more worth to have built her.

    Seriously, when I was building her I keep sorts hearing a like-Field of Dreams voice saying: If you build it, they will come.

    And then some, wow! I am just so grateful to Doug, and everyone for such a nice reception of my E. :)

    Thanks again my friends!

    This is REALLY outstanding work! More evidence that we didn't need a "redesign" for the new movie....sigh...

    Only one fly in the ointment and I'm sorry to bring it up at this late date (I only know found this thread), but you left off the aft torpedo tube. It either rests between the impulse engine vents or the aft end of the secondary hull, depending on whether you accept the visual FX from "In A Mirror Darkly" or the modeler's notes on the Defiant (also a Connie).

    Well, that only tells you that the Defiant had an aft torpedo tube, not necessarily the Enterprise.

    Good God this work is INCREDIBLE!

    This is what I was hoping for with the new enhanced CGI TOS episodes.

    Here's a challenge. Can you take a live action shot of the bridge, put it in widescreen and detail it up like this?

    Would love to see what you come up with.

    or engineering, which is probably easier.
