UPDATE...
A few more things added to the saucer. I finally nailed down what I wanted to do for the reaction control thrusters. I also finally moved it over to mental ray.
One of the things I really liked about the original K-7 station was the stepped appearance of the saucers, as if they'd been shipped folded, then expanded out in place. Without that construction, what do you suppose the purpose of the off-center cylinder on the central saucer is?
It was just the first word that came to mind.
The roundish thing will be some kind of light. I saw it on a bunch of reference pics and decided I'd add it as well.
Hmm. Kind of featureless. I know you said you were just starting to work on it, but I wonder... one of those blow-out vent panels like on the inboard side of Enterprise's nacelles?
Very nice. I don't think I've ever seen anyone model the interior of one of those containers. I like your approach. Also glad to see the unique nacelle back.

Some work done on the top of the saucer. Including the impulse engines.
I added some detail to the bridge section.

More stuff added to the saucer including windows and phasers and a few other bits.

Decided to go back and work on my version of the K7 space station.
Some detail added to the top of the center saucer.
And more stuff under the one smaller saucer.
UPDATE...
A few more minor detail added to the top of the main saucer.
And a few more things added to the smaller saucer.
Started to block in the interior for this part of the station.
I got more work done n the interior of this thing. Not bad so far.
Not getting too much done but I did add some windows to the niply thing on the top.
Is the roundish jobbie on the outboard side going to be a docking port, or just an airlock?

Windows and rooms have been added and I moved it over to mental ray.
I decided to work more on the Ptolimy so I added textures to the container connection.
I’m thinking of changing the nacelles and using these from my U.S.S. Sirius. Still not sure yet but I like them.
These are the old ones
I’ve started work on the engine pylons.
UPDATE...
Finished up the warp pylon. I added the bump map to make the green stripe pop out a little more and added more grime.
Getting bit of work done in the container. Not much more to do other than adding textures.
UPDATE...
Getting some textures done on the container doors.
A bit more done and a little more to go. I might tone down that yellow a little bit.
And what the inside of the doors look like.
