So I was sitting here thinking IA’m close to finishing off a few ships. Maybe I should start a new one. Something simple. So I thought about
http://www.starfleet-museum.org/ IA’ve built a few ships from here in the past but lost them to a HD crash. IA’ve decided to start from the beginning and make Little Nell again.
I donA’t plan on doing exact copies of the ships. ItA’s my hope to build most if not all the ships from the museum.
Here is a close up of one of the airlocks.
This is the aft end of Little Nell.

I consider the build on this thing done. Not bad for two days work. Now on to the textures.
I finished off the reaction control system. Detailed the forward spikes and added some blue glowy bits. Made the grid lines. Expected them to take longer than they did. I also added the impulse engines.I wasn't sure about the shuttle bays. One picture shows only one but the cutaway shows two so I went with two.
Added detail to the aft spike and some blue glowy stuff just like up front.
Love Masao's site & looking forward to Sahara & Avenger Class as well as Penguin and Puffin fighters.
UPDATE...
I've done textures for the left side,the front and bottom of the ship.I still have to do textures for the airlocks and shuttle bays. I have to do the right side,the top and back of the ship and the impulse engines. Also those spikes and I'm done.
Impulse engines are finished and I think this ship is now done.
I've included a look at Little Nell 2 being blocked in.
The plan is to start from the top and work my way down so I will eventually get to the Romulan and Klingon ships.
Silly person. Don't you know that you're supposed to start in the middle? :rolleyes:
Back at the museum to work on Little Nell 2.
b.t.w - this is the first time I encounter the "starfleet museum". this site reminded me why I love star trek. the depth and richness that this series has is just unbelievble.
UPDATE...
The build on this ship is done and now it's time to start on the textures. I finished the impulse engines and added the grid lines
I've installed the RCS thrusters and the airlocks.
Here I added two shuttle bays. Again like Little Nell 1 I wasn't sure how many shuttle bays this ship had because one picture showed one and another showed two. So I went with two. I also had to move them so they wouldn't be in the way of the impulse engines.
Started on the textures for the front of the ship. All these renders were done with Mental Ray.
I did the last picture just for fun.
Just about done with the textures on the Little Nell 2.
Thanks.
Since I finished the two Nells I thought IAâd get started on the Amarillo. Still deciding if I should include the missile launchers or not. Not really sure how to go about it.
