UPDATE...
I’ve added a few more things. A transporter emitter on the nose of the ship. I’ve added grid lines to the side of the hull. A few more greebles added to the sensor pallets and finally a couple of life boat hatches to the top.
UPDATE...
I added a few more windows and more details to the forward side section. I think that will be about it.
I just did this to see if the new video copilot plugin Saber would make a decent phaser shot. It was just a test so it’s not perfect and with a bit more tweaking it could work.
UPDATE...
My tablets been a little pissy these past couple of days so I haven’t gotten too much work done. But I did work a bit on the back of the ship.
Looking good. Are you planning on cleaning up that segmentation? Just curious since you have smaller details throughout the rest of the ship that hold up much closer than this last render.
I might clean it up, don't feel much of a need since I would only get this close for wip shots.
UPDATE...
I’m starting to finalize the sensor pallets. Added a few more life boat hatches and started to place more windows. There wont be many. I also couldn’t decide on a place for a rear phaser strip so I decided to make a phaser turret to save space.
UPDATE...
I finished the windows and decided to add a few to the back. I also added grid lines. A few things need to be fixed so I’ll get to that next.
Looking good, but i fear, the turret could be a little bit ineffective: if firing exactly backwards, the beam could damage the ship's own hull. Abrams got another Turret design for the kelvin (Yes, ball-turret). Maybe this would be more practical?
Or change slightly the turret attachment?(found this ancient photo ->)Picture 002.jpg (
UPDATE...
Just about done with this part of the station. Since my last hard drive death I’ve thought about not doing this stuff any more. But since working on this I feel like I might be getting my mojo back. Maybe I will reinstall photoshop. Or it could just be the beer talking.

The rim detail is just about done and I added a few other bits near the lifeboats.
I’m also thinking about doing a version of this runabout.
Decided to take a break from the work on my house and go back to some ship building so I added more stuff the the engine of this ship.
A little bit more added to the bottom and side of the engine.
This is the current placement of the engine.
But I was thinking I might move it a bit to here. Not sure if I like it.
I also decided to add something to the bottom of the sphere.
More work on the warp engine. Added a few things to bottom. I think I’m close to done with it.
Added torpedo/probe launchers and did some work on the shuttle bay.
A few more details added to the back of the ship.
Starting to finish work on some sensor pallets and I also added what might be lifeboats.

UPDATE...
Decided to go back and work on the Sagan class for a bit. The forward upper part is done and I added more windows to the side.
Started to add a little more to the lower forward section.

Did a little more work on the impulse engine and added a few more bits.
Just a close up of the bits I added.

Decided to do a bit of work on my version of relay station 47.
A full body shot just to give an over all look.
Just about done with this part of the station. Since my last hard drive death I’ve thought about not doing this stuff any more. But since working on this I feel like I might be getting my mojo back. Maybe I will reinstall photoshop. Or it could just be the beer talking.
This part is now finished as far as I’m concerned. I might add more if I feel it’s needed.
UPDATE...
Finished up this bit on the side of the station.
Started to work on whatever this part is.
Another full body shot.
Got a bunch done yesterday. I finished up this part.
Pretty much every thing on this arm is done now.
The arm is now done.
I have started to work on the main section. I won’t add too much detail to this part.
I added grid lines to this part.
This one is just for fun. I like the angle.
UPDATE...
Working on ideas for a little more detail.
Was thinking about what to do with this part. I may just end up doing nothing to save myself some time and aggravation.
UPDATE...
Last two pictures for the year.
More detail added to the flip side.
Got some work done to the top.
