More Connies! More Connies!
Seriously it's looking good!
Thank you. Means a lot coming from you, since you have set the bar pretty high.
Not much to say about this one. I Just liked the angle.
And I did add the panorama windows from the saucer to the neck, too. I figured they would provide an interesting view.
Sure some will think the view is wasted if 50% of what you see is the saucer. But I guess some might even prefer a sight where you can actually see the ship flying through the stars. Also this way the eye has something to hold on for orientation instead of being confronted with the whole vastness of space. It evokes a feeling of being save inside, I hope. And for everyone else there are still plenty panorama views around the saucer.
If you needed a real look at some damage on the lower saucer, then having windows that overlook the area would be helpful.
Well if you put it that way the view doesn't cover nearly enough of the saucer. Unless your adversary and/or stellar phenomena follow the rules of dramatic story telling and will damage your ship strictly in the line of sight.

True. I never said it was perfect, but it could be better than nothing.
Okay I did change the Font for the registry to something more official. It's still not the "correct" one if you consider that this is supposed to be the TOS Constitution but it's simply the better looking one.
I kept the size of the registry on the top of the saucer, though. To be honest I always considered the big lettering as oversized and somewhat ridiculous. I don't think that it is meant to be read anyway. Since ship to ship identification would be happen through transponders this is much more of an aesthetic feature.
Looks good. Heh, instead of using fields, I just convert my text into a mesh and then make it fit the hull. But, the fields make it easier to edit, so that's a good idea.

I think I do it the same way. Maybe I just used the wrong name for the tool.
I'm still messing around with the bridge dome. Latest experiment: mixing materials.
The lower material is a translucent glass. Don't know why it appears completely opaque in the first image.

Meanwhile I'm playing with shapes for the impulse engines and its housing.

For the nacelle I tried to fuse the TOS and TMP style.
