It's coming along, still a little visually confusing design-wise, but maybe it's just the angles of the render. I can't quite tell what the scale is supposed to be yet, but that will come with time I'm guessing. It might also help to have a little bit better lighting, not that blown out area, to show detail, but it's getting better and better.
OMG! I found out this morning that all the UVW maps are corrupted. I have to redo them again. They leave a line between all the textures cropping. That will put modelling to a stop.
I never had a corruption like that. There so many little pieces in 3d models that I prefer doing the textures from the start. I try to save some time like that. For the moment, the corruption seems to be on larger areas only, so I will manage. But I have 3dmax 2013, since almost 2 years, and it never did this before...weird...I guess I should have followed the rules of acquisitions.
Update. Change most of the texture, so it include a pattern and a specular color. Did the engines. And done a bit of the decelerating flaps on the side. I had a lot of troubles with the engines, so I did something simple.
I agree. And besides, the only known Trek-ship that uses something even close to deceleration-flaps is the Romulan/Reman-Scimitar with it's retro engines. NO Trek-ship uses decel-flaps....
Ok. I did some changes upon your feedback. Tweek much of the textures and done some hoses, work on the top section. Next is to finish the under parts. Probably gonna take 1-2 weeks before I work on it again.
Thanks. However the top hull uvw map changed again for something else. I changed it 3 times and it keeps messing up or switching (No clue why...). That was a difficult model because of all the bugs I got with the UVW and the vertex curving. And has you can see I decided I had enough of it. It the end, it's a nice ship anyway but I wish it would have been a smoother process.

I will post the wallpaper in the finish section with a small presentation video (When it's finished rendering)
