Captain Robau uses the Doomsday Machine as a French tickler.
Are you joking? With the original show featuring phaser effects that looked like Chuck Jones animation? USS Constellation with the strings visible, half the details missing, a flying wafflecone that looks like it was made out of construction paper?
Don't get me wrong, it's always been one of my favorite episodes (and all time favorite original series music suite) but the original FX were just plain ghastly.

Never seen an episode then have you?
Teasing aside it's all opinion. I think it looks much better remastered.
TrekBBS-III: the Search for MadMan1701A.
Please tell me you're still working on this, Mad. Do not force me to release my flying monkeys...

Hey, yeah, kind of.
I've lost some of my motivation... I'm trying to find it. There's really not much left... detailing, and texturing.
Maybe I'll have something soon.
Ok, I have some progress! The modeling of the ship is finished. I'm fixing to start right up on the texturing. Since I built in so much of the detail this time, that should be easy.
Here's what I've got...
Between work, watching Stargate on DVD (for the first time ) and everything going on, it's hard to get much time to work on this. Thankfully, work was slow today.
I finished the phaser banks, the torpedo tubes, the windows, and some greebling. On the windows, I did something different; instead of having them inset, like normal, I actually have them flush with the hull, with a external frame on the outside... kind of like an RV window.
What do you guys think?

That's ALOT of phaser armament for a ship this size.
Yep, it seems like alot... I was going with the idea that these phasers aren't as advanced as they could have wanted, so they included more. I was thinking that maybe they took longer to charge each bank, as opposed to what we're used to seeing.
Additionally, the different banks may be used for different purposes. While some serve as main batteries, others may serve as anti-missile systems. The Kelvin's weapons systems seemed designed for dealing with both capital ships and missiles, using different platforms. This might be a way of doing it with the same weapon systems (just using different firing patterns).
Hey, that's a good idea.
It's what I'm going with, now.
No offense to Ryan Church but I really like your Constellation over the JJprise. Maybe they will take some cues from you if they do a remake of "The Doomsday Machine" and make the Constellation a different class. I think it would be too soon to bring the planet killer in right after Vulcan is destroyed.
Thanks.
Still, I really hope that they make a movie with the Doomsday Machine... Not necessarily a remake of the episode, but with similar elements, like the Constellation, and the Planet Killer.
They just don't have to blow up any well known planets, and I think it would be ok....Well, I have an update! I'm going with a kind of "grungy" look. It's more pronounced here, than it will be in the final renders, of course....
I tried to get the coloring similar to Kelvin... what do you guys think?
Another image...
