UPDATE...
Got more stuff added. I’ve started to place windows on the saucer rim. There’s not enough room for two sets decks of windows but I think I’ll do it anyway just because it looks better.
I also added the shuttle bay and some air locks. I’ll probably get rid of the aft airlock because I don’t like it. And I will increase the size of the secondary hull because the shuttlebay feel a little small.
Having two sets of windows where decks wouldn't fit never stopped them with the Connie.
You could always say that they're windows for top and bottom bunks in crew quarters.
UPDATE...
It’s been awhile but I finally got back to this ship. I am actually feeling good working on this one I think it might be one of my favorite ships that I’ve made.
I had to remake this bit.
I added these two bits to the engine and I think it’s done.
I’ve also started to detail the awacks system.
And just for fun I started on this because I just finished watching DS9 for the millionth time.
UPDATE...
UPDATE...
Just a few more windows. I still need to add some to the bottom of the saucer. I’ve yet to move it into mental ray. I think I’ll do that after the modeling is done.
UPDATE...
Got a bit more work done. added more panel lines and a little other things. Worked more on the airlock. Just need to do a few other things and I can move onto textures.
UPDATE...
I know I was thinking about adding few more other small bits of detail but looking the thing over I don’t feel I need to. Just needed to finish a few things off and maybe fix a few things that needed fixing. So I finished of the shuttle bay door.
I also added a nav light to the bottom of the ship.
I also decided to start to remake the phazer turret. It’s not as good as the first version I lost but it still works for me.
UPDATE...
More windows getting done. I was thinking that each deck gets a different colored carpet. Not that you can see the carpet but itAâs the thought that counts.

Started to add some windows.
UPDATE...
More windows and stuff.
UPDATE...
A few more small details added including RCS thrusters and an idea for a phaser turret.
Added more windows and some minor detail. The top of the saucer is almost done.
A closer look at the laser turret.
I lost almost all of the work I did on this ship when my computer died, so I’m basically starting all over again.
More stuff getting done. It’s getting close to where I ended last time.
I was thinking of adding something like this to the back of the ship to act like an AWACS.
Started to get the warp engine in shape. It’s starting to the way it should.
A few more things added to the saucer.
RCS thrusters have been added.
The warp engine and pylon are finished.
And I’m starting to add windows to the saucer.
Doing a little fiddling around and did a little work on the secondary hull. Just need to make a nav dish now.
Started to block in shapes for a possible Kobayashi Maru.

It's all looking good so far.
Started to work on the lower saucer.
The bottom of the saucer is done I think. Finished up some details and added phaser hatches.
I also added phaser hatches to the top of the saucer.

As far as I’m concerned the tower is done.

Started to get some panel lines in. There’s some messy bits on the side I’m not happy with but I’ll figure something out.

Finished up the phaser. I like it.
This is how it looks deployed.
Moved into Mental-Ray so I can start work on the textures.
Starting work on some test textures. But before I get deeper into it I need to install lights and get rooms behind the windows.
Getting the ship’s lighting finished up and started on the rooms behind the windows.
A bit more texture work.
More windows getting done. I was thinking that each deck gets a different colored carpet. Not that you can see the carpet but itAâs the thought that counts.
Starting some very early textures for the phaser turrets.
