    I have completed working on the warp sled.
    It took a lot longer than I expected, this was mainly due to faddily shapes.
    I am not too happy with one part of the RCS thruster at the back. It not sitting right with me.
    But saying that it is the right shape.

    Anyway with this part now done, it on to the model the module pod and the rest of the main hull.

    I have started work on the cockpit area.
    Cutting out main windows was real pain to get right, but I am really happy with the way it turned out.
    I have modelled the winglets and also the gabbles that are just above them. That took a few try’s to get right.
    Though when added the details for the blocks that goes round the hull at the back of the cockpit, it was far easier to do.
    I have also modelled the bottom area where that cut out is. Put the gabbles in and this turn out far better than I expected.
    Materials have been add.

    All that is left to do for the cockpit is add the gabbles to the top and cut in the panels.
    Then I can move onto the next area.

    With the current crisis affecting the western world. My son who was going to take his GCSE exams this years, is no longer going to be doing it. (Not sure how they are going to get their grades so he can go off the College in September.)
    This means that he is no longer hogging the PC I am currently building the Refit Enterprise.
    So with that I have been able to jump on and do some long over due work on her.
    I have built the nacelles and all the shaping is now done. I still need to add details to it but it mostly done.
    Anyway here where it stands at the moment.

    I have modelled all the external parts of the nacelles. I have just slapped on place holder materials.
    I am happy with the way it has turned out, though work is still not done.
    I need to model the Bussard collector. As we have never actually seen this I think I going to go with a mixture of what was shown in the Deep Space Nine Technical Manual and bower some ideas form Madkoifish, as he has come up with some excellent designs over the years.

    So with this in mind, it will mean having to add some texture as well. I am thinking of texturing this as I go along. Instead of modelling everything then go back.
    From the other stuff I have done, it always looks a little flat.
    So any Blender heads out there that can give me ideas on how to make it really pop, I would be grateful.

    With that said onto the Pictures.

    It been a while since I posted an update on this.
    I have been working on the rest of the main hull. The Module Pod, is now done. The modelling on this went quickly. It was cutting in the panel lines that was taking the time, this was also the case with the rear half the main hull.
    The main hull has been split into the separate parts so if I want to do a picture with the Module section removed I can.

    I am now starting close the finishing line with that. Just need to add details to the pylon and check to see if I have missed any details and sort them out.

    It been nearly two months since I done any work on this.
    But since it the holiday season and I am off work, I finally had time to sit down and get some work done.
    I have been working on the front of the secondary hull adding in the details and the RCS.
    I might have to redo that as I think it a bit to forward.

    Before starting to work on detailing the rest of the Secondary Hull, I am going to start modelling the warp nacelles and the pylons first.
    Once that is in place I will go back to finish off the details.

    So I tired @Rekkert suggestion but it was not really working for me , with that I have decided to go with option 2.

    I have gone back and fixed the issues I was having with the front RCS. I made the nozzles shorter and I think they look much better for it. I have also modelled some details to the bottom of the shuttle, which is something we have never really seen clearly on screen and Andrew Probert concept drawing don’t have a bottom angle. So I did my own thing and borrowed a few greebles off my Runabout and placed them here.

    I have also add some decals going mostly with concept drawing. All in all I happy with the way this turned out even if it was a pain in the start.

    Next is to knock out some pictures with this girl, and then move on to doing the Oberth Class.

    The Pylons are now done, lots of trail and errors with cutting out the panels. But it turned out fine.
    The biggest difference, between mine and the official model is that on mine I have added a cut out. This cut out is for the additional pod to connect to. IE Weapons Pod, AWAC Pod or science Pod.
    I just did not like something like having a connection point that is flushed with the hull. So I have added the cut out and put some gribbles in there so it look like a proper connection points

    So with that, the main modelling is now done. I still need to add the reg and the Starfleet logos but that won’t take long.
    I also need to fix a couple of errors again that won’t take long either.

    I still have no idea how I am going to texture this thing, so that will interesting.
    As for the weapons pod, yes I will be modelling that as well.

    And just for fun, here is a render of ship with just glass material applied to it.

    Just a small update.

    I have spent the last two days working on the rear of the secondary hull. I got most of the shape down pretty quickly.
    The biggest issue I had was with the “nibble” thing that sits at the back above the clamshell door of the hanger.
    The shaping of that was a pain to get right, it still not right at the moment but it close to how it meant to be.
    I was banging my head trying to get it right, I tired also sorts of thing but it was just not working. In the end I had to individual move each vert into place.
    As I said it closer to how it should look but it still not right and driving me a little crazy so I am going to move on and work on the front half of the secondary hull.

    I will also be updating my progress on the Type 6 Shuttle soon, I just need to do a few more details to the rear before I post the next update on that.

    Just a small update.
    I have blocked out all the main components. This little ship is now ready to start getting detailed.
    I am going to start off the nacelles and then most likely move onto doing the main cockpit area.
    This should be a interesting build as this ship has lots of hull panels.
