I also restored the windows. I think I'll update the windows in my Enterprise model and use this arrangement for the Reliant. Which means I need to rebuild the bridge for the Enterprise as well as modify the saucer.
And since I'm using the Discovery style windows in the Reliant, I figured I'd go ahead and update the Enterprise to match what we see in Strange New Worlds.
The amazing thing was I was able to remove the HUGE cutout that was the bridge viewport and restore it to a smooth surface before adding in the updated window.
So after a month, I figured I'd poke at this again with some underside detailing. I don't know why these greebles took me so long to do today. They aren't complicated. Then again, I spent most of my time correcting bad geometry.
I think it's already very good, I hope you continue soon.
Thank you!
The geometry errors I mentioned were overlapping polys at the corners when I rounded off the edges of the rear hull. And then I somehow managed to double the verts at the leading edges and skewed the entire set of topside faces. I had to go in and merge all of the errant verts and correct line alignments to ensure it was done correctly.

I would suggest nothing less. Too many force users have lost their hands from lightsaber incidents by opponents or their own personal mishaps.
And now some final renders.
Back, Emitter, and Internals
Really nice work! Love it!
Thank you! It was a fun build, and quick (for me) to boot. A nice change of pace from what I've been working on.
And now back to your irregularly scheduled program.

I would like to see you try the original Jeffries shuttle in this style hull plating; http://www.srsprototyping.com/model-kit-instructions/t-o-s-jeffries-shuttle-kit/
Sure! Send me a PM and we can discuss commission rates.
