Hey everybody!
It's been a LONG time since I had anything to post here. Dont ya just love it when IRL interferes with hobbies? :rolleyes:
I figured I might as well post what I'm working on at the moment... If you didn't guess from the thread title, this will (eventually) be an Andorian battlecruiser. What you see here so far took a little over 24 hours total, so I'm not having any misconceptions about getting this thing done in a day.
It's also up to 80k polys so far, so I'll probably have to do some clean-up at some point.
Anyhow, I'm glad to be back! Let me know what you think so far.

Its about 1 or 2 Years ago, and i never finished her.
The last one is the current state....
Beda: Very nice work! A bit sleeker & rounder than the original, but that gives it a really different feel... Like a faster scout version or something. Looks great either way.
I think I'm about ready to move on to the neck and start progressing back along the fuselage now. Got the front end just about nailed down, I think. Here's where she's at right now:
(It's greeble time! )
I'm hoping to get the main chunk of the 'neck' done tonight, but we'll see where I end up.
I've still got some paneling to add on the nacelles, and the rest of the greebles in the 'trench' that runs down the sides of the body. With any luck, I might be able to start on the impulse housings and maybe even the wings tomorrow. For now, though, it's bedtime.
..that is one thing that bothered me about enterprise, no matter how awesome eaves' designs are, the sublight engines being glowy pieces of candy seems weird
..if those are the impulse engines. What do I know, might be the warp engines
Instead, the impulse housings are now in place. (Though they have quite a few panels & greebles to be added as well. Ugh.
On the bright side, I've managed to keep the polycount a lot lower than I expected. Currently sitting at 147k, though I'm sure that'll go up quite a bit after the greebling, paneling, etc.
(Polycount's up to 154k.. Still very reasonable, I think)
what are those on the wings ? warp boosters ?
looking forward to it
And yea, the 'pods' on top of the wings are warp nacelles, best I can tell. Seems that the ship has 4 total, but in 2 separate pairs, rather than all 4 being identical. Silly Andorians!
Here's where she sits at the moment. Still need to panel the central nacelles, and finish all the greebling. On the home stretch now though! :cool:
That looks great. Are you using Blender 2.54?

As for the Vulcans, the thought has crossed my mind... But it'll probably be at least a week or 2 before I could dive into one, as I'm already nose-deep in another model on top of finishing this one. LOL
