Truly expert work on this project, madman. She looks great and, in your hands, worthy of the name Enterprise. I have one note and one request for you, if you don't mind.
Note: There's a photo of the ship in the book "Star Trek: The Art of the Film" where it looks like they added some extra vertical frames to the windows on the ship, possibly in an attempt to address the change in the ship's scale. I don't have a scanner and I haven't been able to find the photo online, but I wanted to let you know about it in case you wanted to do some research and consider adding this alteration to your model as well.
Request: If at all possible, when you decide to release this baby to the world, could you make a .3ds version available? I use MAX 8 and I've not been able to successfully import your previous versions of this ship into my system because I think you're using a more recent MAX release (9 or above, I'm guessing). If you can't it's no big deal, but I had to ask because I'd love to play with this great toy you've built!
Thanks, guys. I just released the Blender version this afternoon... go get it.
Buckaroohawk... I'll definitely see if Knightrider can put out a .3ds as well... worst case, e-mail me, and I'll get you a .obj that you can import, for sure.
What page is that picture on, in the art book? I've got it right here, but I can't think of the image you're talking about.
Thanks, well, I'm gonna try to convert it, of course, KnightRider, tends to convert things much better than me, I don't know what he does, or how he converts models so much better.

It shouldn't be long before I get it hosted at my site. Are you going to do some animations with it? I'd love to see some flybys and stuff... I'm just too lazy to do it, these days.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. An obssessive project has been diverting my attention. The picture is on pages 157 and 158, the last picture in the book. If you look closely at the saucer windows on the page 157 side of the image (I used a maginfying glass just to make sure I wasn't just imagining things), you'll see the long, oval shaped windows have smaller panes slightly inset, dividing them into sets of four. They aren't easy to see, and you never get a good enough look in the movie to see them, but they are there. Like I said before, since the Enterprise was supersized sometime during the film's production, this looks to me like an attempt to adjust the scale of the model to match the new size. I don't know if you want to bother adding these to your model or not, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of them.

Finally got it finished... took me just a couple of hours, today.
I should have it ready for a full release soon... maybe even tomorrow.
What do you guys think the first wallpaper should be? I've got a few ideas, but what would you guys like to see?
Awesome!
Eyegasm!
Can't wait to animate with this...

Thanks for listening and, once again, great work!

I went to your website, and I see the update, but not the model in the downloads page...

Of course, knowing me, I'll prolly redo the lighting, after he converts it to Max, and other stuff, like I always do on almost every model I get, lol.
