UPDATE...
Got most of the work done on the top of the saucer. I even did a fast test and panels, boy oh boy that’s a lot of work that I might just skip.
Just doing the small amount was a bit of a nightmare and took a long time.
Yeah, I hear you on that one. I've started doing things like that in the past, decided it wasn't worth it and wound up just putting some standard paneling that takes a lot less time on the part.
I agree. Not a huge fan of aztecing. I know the original 'A' filming model was painted that way. The hulls of the biggest carriers in the U.S. fleet do not have azteced hulls. ( just my pet peeve ) Models looks great.

UPDATE...
Getting what I call the spine of the ship done.

The spine is looking great.
Started work on the secondary hull.
I also did a very rough boxing in of a Romulan ship.
Just about done. I don’t think I’ll add much more.
Not to crazy about the azteching. It’s just looking far too busy to me but I felt that way about the NX-01.
I cut the opacity by 50% and kind of like it better.
All I did with this is keep the specular map and I kind of like this.
I was getting a little burned out on my other ship so I thought I’d test an idea on my Romulan ship.
UPDATE...
Got more work done on my textures. Added a spec map too.
Well, phase one of textures are finished and it was a nightmare to do the primary hull.
Agreed.
I did some subtle weathering on the ship and I feel it’s just about done so I’l start work on orthos tomorrow
