Heya guys!
I've been working on this one a long, long time, but apparently never posted her here.
This corvette was an s1gun design which I modelled in SketchUp not long after he posted the image on the old SCN boards. The exterior is pretty straightforward, but I've taken up the interior to make it really awesome. After some fidgeting I decided that using existing parts (like the corridors) would make populating the ship way faster and way easier. As you can see from the floorplans in the album (yeah, that image is a link to a larger album) that is going pretty good. Right now I'm busy with engineering. I had one, but it was 1) a mess and 2) way too large a filsize for what it was. So I went and decided on it being a souped-up version of the Ent-D's nacelle control room, an idea I first saw here on Deviant Art. So, I went to the 3D warehouse, downloaded the control room and... came to the conclusion that it was full of cut corners, open spaces... basically not much better than what I already had. Went ahead, made my own, and in keeping with the general idea of using existing assets I converted my just-released Science Console to a warp core a la Voyager.
I'll be updating this thread as the build progresses
