My first WIP in *checks post history* 9 years!
Been threatening to make this for a long time, but I lacked the confidence or the skills to do it, now no more!
I present, the long neglected workhorse of the Lost Era, the Ambassador Class!
Hoping to do both canon variations, depending on how annoyed I get finishing her off, but I've been trying to make her happen since I joined SFM in 2002, now I am
Currently blocking her out, just got the nacelles out of the oven tonight, will be redoing the neck and finishing off the shuttlebay in the next few days with a bit of luck.

You've made a solid start man...
Feel free to contact me if you're interested in commissions!
the nacelles shape is not quite finalized, but I'm pretty close to the final shape there. Did some refining of the neck shape too.
I _think_ the proportions are pretty close to the studio model now.

Agreed.

A few new pics today, finalized the neck shape and the shuttlebay for now. Descided on a Yamaguchi thick but 1701-C shaped shuttlebay. Not been able to work on it much, hoping to do the pylons and a final proper rebuild of the nacelles in the next few days, then... detailing.

I'm not dead!
A few updates. Might be considered small to some, but updates none the less. I have pretty much finished the warp nacelle modelling now, a few tweaks here and there, re-creating the RCS thrusters and a few decals missing, but nearly finished and ready to move on to the hull. Threw some basic materials on to make it look a little less flat, heh.
Staff meetings are great for working on something more interesting
To Finish:
Bottom decal below front of the nacelle.
Replace RCS thrusters at back of nacelle
Tweak front Bussard shape slightly (It's a bit too blocky still).
