Any chance that you recorded your progress on that in some way, Vektor? I'm insanely curious as to your process in completing that. And I kinda want it as a print. Astounding work.
The "what are you working on?" Art thread.

- Start date
I don't want to bloat the thread by posting mass inline images, but here's a series of links for all the WIPs leading up to the final:

WIP02
WIP03
WIP04
WIP05
WIP06
WIP07
WIP08
WIP09
WIP10
WIP11
WIP12
As for prints, I painted this one at 18"x24" at 300dpi so that is entirely possible. I may, indeed, be offering this one for sale in the near future.

As always I am working on a TOS project; now myself and my friend Tim are detailing all of the bridge control panels and the different iterations throughout the series. This will dovetail nicely with the display project that I continually work on, lol. For your viewing pleasure; here is the first season version of the Comm 2 panel:
Please keep this up! Love it.
A Hangar Deck to fit in my CGI TOS Enterprise (947').
Some WIP renders.
Put me in the "it's not a control room" camp. It's the long-range aft sensor, and the lower part of its cowling splits with the doors to make more room for entering shuttles:
Here's the interior of the Starboard Gallery. It varies a bit from the series set (we saw the Port side Gallery in Conscience of the King), but this one actually fits into the hull. That's the engine pylon's structural bracing visible behind the screen:
Finally, here's a perspective cutaway of the hangar in the hull:
Still a Work in Progress.

MGagen,
Are you using Lightwave for your design?

A paper SS Botany Bay to go with my paper Enterprise. But I miscalculated and printed it too small! I printed another in the correct size but now I dont feel like assembling it.

Bwuh..bwuh...duh...duh... 
And I thought the one available at the SketchUp Warehouse was detailed!
That has got to be the ULTIMATE Satellite of Love digital model!!!
You guys can have your Enterprise meshes; by hook or by crook I will find a way to obtain this data once Gep completes it!!!
Sincerely,
Bill

Nice! Can't imagine trying to do all those greebles. So, does it have a set of numbered doors on the inside?

Thanks. Not sure if you'd want it, though -- it's nearly 800,000 faces at the moment (if I don't mirror the details onto the hidden side – it shoots up to over 1.1 million if I do), and about 26 megs of data. Once I finish detailing and UV the sucker it's going to shoot through the roof. I can easily see this exceeding 100 megs by the time it's done. The upside to that approach is that you can push the camera right up to the hull and it holds up. The bad is, well, it's a huge model.
It's not as hard as it looks. It's all kitbashing right now; I'm teaching myself modo and that software has a very cool feature where you can save meshes to a library and drag-and-drop them into a scene from a little pop-up palette. I saved out a few hundred kit pieces I either built myself or collected from various sources and have been using them to detail it. It's pretty fast.
So, does it have a set of numbered doors on the inside?
Nope. I'm not that crazy.
