Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

interesting that the side... clamps? things around the dish are shaped and clip into the secondary hull such that they resemble the starfleet delta, slightly stretched.... is that intentional, something the original does too that i never noticed after all these years?

It's one way to get them onto the hull, there is another way however...

paint!

 

[JSnaith]

paint!

No - rebuild them!

Morning updates:



More later!

I did, and I am building a refit Connie that will be able to hold all these things - and work.

I scaled the TOS Connie to 399 meters

Thank you for that.

The later bridge on the 1701-A would ruin Probert's lines and force the bridge to have a rabbit-eared look due to more widely spaced turbo lifts:

I could take that on a Miranda--but not the refit.

You make some of the best saucers I have seen...where the refit B/C deck on the 1/537-ish model is jarringly... abrupt, yours blends with the saucer much more elegantly.

Thank you - actually, the B/C Deck superstructure is janky as hell and I junked it in favour of a new one:



More soon

 

[JSnaith]

Slow day, as I rebuilt the upper superstructure and the bridge (perfectionist), but progress is being made. Onto the saucer rim now. Upper saucer and Impulse gubbings are all done. Nacelles and Pylons are done. Just need to keep moving forward with intent.



Speaking of intent, I am suffering from the early stages of burnout. I will finish the USS Odyssey, but I may then take a protracted break and reset my nervous system.

Burnout's a bitch, been fighting one for a year or two now. Take time brother, your CGI work is the best, but you are more important.

Thank you, I am... Ok at the moment, but I know if I push too hard, I will just burn out and probably have a meltdown as well. Too many things are going on in RL at the moment with the Office move and setup. But I'm an adult; I can manage these things. Ok, I'm an adult with autism and ADHD - but I still have my marbles and can safely manage things. Oddly enough, finishing off the Odyssey will help. It's anotehr thing I can mark as "done."

Updates:



Saucer rim is done; all the rooms are in - including a Rec Deck as well. Because this is not the Enterprise, I feel justified in making some changes. After all, no two ships would ever be the same.

Anyways, more soon.

 

[JSnaith]

Update: The saucer is now done and locked:



Next up: "the neck"/dorsal Interconnector.

 

[JSnaith]

Updates, more later:

 

[JSnaith]

And... The "neck" is done, now on to the last part: the secondary hull:



More likely tomorrow ;-)

 

[JSnaith]

A little update... she's getting close:



More soon.

 

[JSnaith]

Updates:



Still quite a bit to do, but she is coming along nicely.

 

[JSnaith]

Just the shuttle bay and arboretum to do... And she'll be done:



Taking a break until tomorrow, more then ;-)

 

[JSnaith]

Don't know if you all remember this one - it's from a couple of years back. I was challenged to do my version of the Constitution (thank you to the one who challenged me):



And what's a ship without a few shuttles?



I will be coming back to this one to do some tweaks and tidying up. But that's for the future. More soon.

 

[Starforce2]

did you ever finish that other excelsior like mesh, the one with the boxy engines with the notched tails?

Nope. Welcome to the wonderful world of ADHD where distraction is only a... Oooo shiny!








I will get back to it at some point
