haha the drawing is just white squiggles for names.
Some more on the cockpit, I also did some details on the underside of the wings, but I am not sure if I am happy with it at the moment.
Cockpit interior is a placeholder for now.
Love that thing. To be honest I wish I had one to put on the top of my Prometheus variant project in place of the bridge warp nacelle. Triple thumbs up on the new canopy. Looks very sophisticated.
Thanks, lots more little things to add, like locking latch details and the hinges. And of course the proper interior.
Maybe put a little landing pad and hanger up behind the bridge lol.
Been working on the glowy materials and the surrounding geometry. I still need some noise on the glass parts but the rest the nodes are pretty much sorted. Very basic node set up so it will be easy to make powered down versions.
Also there are some more panels on it. I lost all the decals so I have to re apply them, but before I do that I will re draw them.
Thanks, I just hope I am able to texture it well. I haven't done much texturing in the past.
I still have some wing top panel lines and the cockpit to work on, so hopefully I can do some today.
Edit, this is a previous render showing some of the bottom panel work.
Added more panels, piping and small details. I don't think I will add any more major things, I want to try finalise everything and get it done. I have been working on the cockpit but nothing to show so far. Then the next big thing is textures, which I have little experience with... hopefully it will turn out ok.
Thanks guys.
I spent some more time last night adding little greebles and testing the stripes. (not in the render) It is a little dark because I was messing around with materials on the main colour.
I just want to add some detail in those dark cutout parts then the outside details should be finished. Then I will continue the cockpit.
Thanks. Even with the other colours that I could do I still come back to the grey and dark grey. With a little red too.
I should probably update, so far I am making the cockpit, but its just blocked out and not finalized yet. And I am working on decals. I posted this one on twitter but it is still pretty similar to the last pics here.
Nothing to show on the cockpit just yet, I did resize the whole ship down a little, it now sits at about 16.5m long 10m wide. So about as long as the Type-11 shuttle, which seems ok.
If anyone has ideas about cockpit consoles etc, let me know, I am still deciding if I want a simple layout with minimal displays or full on fighter craft panels with physical buttons.
I would say put a Control Stick in there, but in reality I don't think it would.
Remember when Tom Paris but in the yoke and controls in the Delta Fly and not a touch pad. The Crew looked at him as if he was mad.
Oh yeah it is definitely having a control stick, throttle and pedals. I was thinking beside the stick a normal lcars pad for fine thruster movements.
There was still the random Riker stick control and that Romulan shuttle had one too. So it isn't too mad to have one. I understand large ships and shuttles would probably be more automated and not need fine controls.
Mostly built up to where I am happy with it now. Next is the displays, controls and extras inside stuff. oh and more seat cushions.
Once that's all done I will be going over everything on the ship and getting it ready for making the materials. I need to learn all that again.
And just a pic messing around with the eevee real time stuff.

Would the pilot happen to have the last name of Ichijo? Or Saotome?
