so its been a long time infact almost a year i think since i've posted anything i've taken a long break from 3d modelling but i finally got back to it yesterday and started working on a new star trek ship
well it may not seem new because most of you will tell easily that its based on the defiant class vessel the only new thing is its design i've so far got the nacelles created and placed how i want them and i've done the nose i'm slowly working on the main hull and yes i know theres a few poly errors that give it to much of a sharpe line towards the front behind the nose but so far i'm blocking it out as you guys call it heres the plan
in order of blocking out then detailing
nose
nacelles
main hull
interior decking
maybe i'll go as far as doing this whole thing in a 1:1 model to a human dummy model i have laying around somewhere who knows let me know what you think so far guys i'm gonna need all the advice and thoughts possible as this ones gonna be big

anyhow i was unhappy with the bulky design and after abit of kit bashing around for ideas i came across a particular set up that looked promising and went ahead started putting her together from scratch heres the new design still underway with the dorsal ( i believe thats the top ) side before i block out the ventril areas then its all on to the detailing such as windows buzzards and interior builds
this model is being done to bring back my modelling skills and has now been assigned a name .... that name is the Tigerfin defiant variant due to its topdown view looking slightly like a shark
let me know your thoughts
topsides pretty much blocked out and the backs got its final blocked design finished last but not least is the underside i'm not sure whats gonna go down there yet any ideas are welcome of course i'm not sure where to go with this model yet its either build the details and get the hull finished or get the scale sorted and start on the interior plans
its a tough choice though do i finish the hull and struggle with the interior later or do i model the decks then redo the hull around the decks gimmie a few days and i hope to have a visual update as to the path i choose
