Finally took the plunge and started on a new starship. All being built in Blender 3D. The windows and ports are all just plugs for now as the blueprints are off on the placement and number of ports. I want to move them around until they look like they are a little closer to the placement of the original model components.

Thanks for looking in.

    Looks pretty smooth. Are you going to modify it with some extra detailing, or go with the classic D-7?

    The answer is probably a mix. I really, REALLY want it to look like the classic D-7. But, I keep wanting to add some detailing, including lights.

    I added lights and disruptor turrets to the hull on mine. I don't remember if they were on the film model, but I think I found them on some blueprints. Compared to the rest of the ship, they can seem tiny and easy to miss. I also added a simple shuttle bay between the impulse engines.

    I see you kept the multi-toned paint job too! Nice work!

    Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing yours progress. Have you seen the D7 ship reveal on Star Trek: Discovery yet? The more recent episode (Season 2, episode 12) showed a skewed 3/4 view from the rear that revealed quite a bit of detail on the reworked design.

    Someone on reddit captured a screen from that episode.

    Yeah, Madkoifish shared the image on my website. They've greebled up the old design and added lots of JJ Abrams lights and flares. Hm.

    A very small amount of progress. A new neck, and starting to set the outlines for the main body. The bottom is harder than I thought.

    I think I know which section you're talking about. I had trouble with that compound curve in the center-rear on the underside. Still, progress is progress!

    Are you doing via subdvisions? Should be fairly simple to get the shape right. Like the progress so far :)

    Yes I am. I need to break out my Klingon plastic model and more carefully examine the underside of the primary hull.

    Thank you!
