UPDATE...
I can’t believe it’s been about a year since I’ve worked on this. While deciding to finish the textures on the D5 I thought I might as well make them completely different since the ship is older than the D7. Ignore the textures on the neck thay’ve gone fubar.
UPDATE...
Getting started on the new neck textures.
Here’s a shot of the new textures for the big round bit. Hopefully I can be done with this tonight. I’ve got orthos to do and I’ve already mocked up an idea for a new pic.
It's more of a dark pea green actually.:D I do plan on converting my D7 to Romulan colors since I'm doing this anyway. The Romulan will more light grey and dark blue like colors.
Thank you.
UPDATE...
Neck textures are now complete. All I need to do now are the disrupters, main hull and warp engines.
The shuttlebay textures are now done and I made new textures for the impulse engines. This will help me save a few polygons.
Looks good! Love your work, you've captured the very simple, clean lines of TOS witout making it look cheap, reading one of your threads is always a pleasure.
Also, I liked the D-6 (I think it was a D-6) version with the blue bands around the neck. I know you said to just ignore it, but it looked to plain cool. The Stripes would look nice on, say, a "elite" D-7.
Thanks, but I suck compared to many others I've seen. A total noob.
UPDATE...
Nearly done. I probably should have finished this yesterday but I should be completely done by Thursday.
Here’s the bottom and back of the hull.
I got the engines done but I need to fix a few things. I also added a few more red graphics to the ship to break up all that green.
UPDATE...
While fixing the textures on my U.S.S. Swiften I thought up a new picture but with a shuttle. So I went back and decided to modify the one I had a make a slightly larger Tactical shuttle for this new image. Ignore the textures because they went to crap but I’ll need to paint new ones for this anyway.
Here it is side by side with my original shuttle.
UPDATE...
I was gonna try and keep this simple and get it doen fast. Well, so much for that.
I added a few more bits to make it look more armored and I increased the size of the armor on the back.
Decided to add some ladning gear.
Here’s a good look at the landing gear.
UPDATE...
Started to work on textures for the engine cowl and finished up some of the detail on the back of the warp engines. Still a little bit to go.
UPDATE...
I finished the textures for the engine cowl and just need to add a few final touches to the wing textures.
I also started the textures for the side. Still need to add a few things to finish it up. The colored strip will be different depending on the role the shuttle will fill.

Well I think I’m calling this one done. Unless I find something I don’t like. Now I’ll get to work on those orthos.
I have an idea for a variant... Put the "wings" ala D7, but flipped up and add a weapon in the "elbow" of the wings.

remind me of a concept John Eaves did for the last Trek film.
Thanks.

I like the landing skids, seems like an oft-forgotten part of a ship. But what's with the red striping?
