UPDATE...
I think IAâm finished with the details of the warp engine. For now atleast. You can also see the start of what will be the impulse engine. I just need to chamfer some edges.
Some small details added below the warp pylon
This shows the detail I added to the front of the warp engine.
UPDATE...
Well I’ve finally decided to go back and make something I started just before my last HD crashed on me a few years ago. My version of Relay Station 47. I’ll do what I can because I don’t have much reference for it. I don’t even know the size of this thing.
Nice start.
Defining the size of the station shouldn't be that hard, for there are enough windows to get an idea of the size of the station.
i will be watch this thread closely
UPDATE...
Well I think I’ve got this thing pretty much blocked in. Still a few small things to do but didn’t think I needed them yet. Now on to some details.
UPDATE...
I’ve begun to work on the bottom of the station. I guess this has a fusion reactor in it but I’m not 100% sure what that is on very bottom but it looks like some kind of engine to me.
UPDATE...
Well I would just about call myself done with this part. Just need a few chamfers and details for that small engine. I’m really happy with how those four bottom flappy things turned out. I would have posted these yesterday but I was busy all day taking care of the dog. Just found out he might have
leukemia.
UPDATE...
I decided to finish of a few of the detail for my relay station. Just a few things more to do and I can move onto the next section.
Still haven’t decided on the scale for this thing. I couldn’t find any information on the size of the one used in the show.
Yeah I gotta agree with you about the boxes but that's what I get for following my references. I've already begun to change things a bit with the second part of the station because I don't want it to look exactly like the one in the show.
UPDATE...
Found this left over close up of the engine so I thought I’d post it.
Started to work on the second section and I added a new part to the outside just to give it more space and keep it from being just a knock off of Relay Station 47.
This is how it looks with the first part.
Just picked up the second season TNG on Blu-Ray and so far not really impressed with the restoration on this one.
UPDATE...
Well the second part is starting to come together. So far I’m happy with it but I still need to add a few things. I’ve changed the size to about 150 meters and it still feels smaller than what I would like when I put a shuttle next it. But I think going any bigger would be kind of ridiculous. I really like the grid lines I did on this I usually go either too thick or too deep but I think these look good.
Just wanted to see how both parts look together.
UPDATE...
I’ve decided to add an airlock. The shuttle is just there to check on size. I added a little bit of detail on the part that runs up the side of the station. I’m thinking I might also be able to use the same thing as part of the airlock door.
Here is a close up of the airlock door. It’s made to open so I might do an interior for the airlock. I also noticed alot of segmenting so I had to add more. It’s better than it was.
And here it is on the outside with a texture test and more details.
UPDATE...
Now that I look at it this was kind of a dumb place for an airlock because there is still very little space and not alot of room between the airlock and the turbolift that runs down the center. Oh well. All I did here was add two little red lights.
Started on the next section. ItAâs turned out nice so far.
UPDATE...
Here are the rest of the images I didnAât get a chance to post because the drain in my laundry room backed up.
HereAâs a look at the backside with more little details added.
I was thinking about adding another module because there just isnAât that much room. IAâm just not sure if it looks too unbalanced.
I actually think this one works out better.
UPDATE...
Between all the stuff going on after my father’s death and playing Mass Effect 2 I haven’t felt much like doing any work. But instead of do another dresser for my house I thought I change things up for myself and go back to this station. I’ve started to add details to the new module. I decided I want it to look a little bit newer than the rest of the station since it’s just an add on to make more room. I should be getting a new computer in a few weeks. Either next month or the following month.

the only thing that looks different to me is the central body - yours looks more hard edges when I perceived the model to be pretty round there
UPDATE...
More details added to the top of the station.

This part is coming along rather nicely I think. I might actually be able to finish it up before the end of the month.

I'd say the scale should be at least twice that, as you'd not want to be cooped up in something that small!

I like the add-on section your thinking about.
You could mirrior what you done and call it a different station.
