Without doubt Melak, ive DLed a good 2-3 type 12's in my time, and seen a great deal more... and yours far and away looks the most high-poly, well detailed and canon looking of them all!
By the way, does anyone know any other HD capable video sites?

1 out of 5 final exams done, just couldn't help myself had to do something, but I didn't feel like working on anything I already started
I felt like trying to render an interpretation of one of my favorite designs by Atolm, the Lexington Class Refit (If you're out there, I hope you don't mind ):
Still very early, just getting the shapes down...that's also why theres no secondary hull as of yet, can't quite figure it out just yet
So without more talking, pics.
Excuse my heavy use of emoticons please
ItAâs cool to see another of AtolmAâs concepts coming to life.
IAâm sure he will like to see it. Just pm Chris (Atolm) and IAâm sure youAâll receive a repply from him. Maybe with other views too.
Atolm's work is great of course, but I thought the relationship you had with the hull and the nacelles actually reminded me more of the Starfleet Command game vessel Lexington:
Now that ship has a great 3/4 elevated view, but the side view isn't as visually rewarding. I'm thinking you might freshen that design up a bit, and have Atolms ship evolve from that.
And thanks for those links, I perceived this ship to be somewhat of a blend between Constitution and Excelsior class, and the secondary hull is proving quite difficult to transfer from the paper sketch to 3D.
These are two ideas I was trying out, but I don't particularly like either of them:
your right about it being a mixure of both ships.
I think what you got at the moment for the secondary hull needs to be a little wider and the top more Connie.
Thanks
These "wicked" pylons obscure a lot of the ship from the aft angles, so I might go with more traditional ones. Still looks speedy that way in my opinion:
I didn't really have time to do much, have my final finals coming up, but I managed to squeeze in a tiny update on the shuttle. Also, I finally got something to show up in the reflection on the consoles

Kudos to your sig link! Im glad i clicked it now
It's not even all that canon though
Wanted to try this for a while, finally got the time to do so:
(please view in 1080p if you can, I had buckets of AA but it didnt survive youtube.)

So here's a little update, I like this version much better.
Tell me what you think!

Small update, so small pictures this time
I merged impulse block and saucer into one "seamless" piece:
Trying to keep a healthy mix, so an update on the shuttle just to change things up a bit
One more tiny update on the shuttle before I get back to the Lexington, rounded most of the corners.
I didn't really have time to do much, have my final finals coming up, but I managed to squeeze in a tiny update on the shuttle. Also, I finally got something to show up in the reflection on the consoles
Just a quick start on yesteryear's Dodge Challenger, something I could squeeze in between exams:
Some more progress:
