I spent a few hours working out the panels on the underside of the hull. Now I need to do the front-facing panels.


With the neck added on, it's really starting to look like a proper starship! I still need to detail the impulse engine and shuttle bay on the top to finish off the main hull section, though.

What could the U.S.S. Miranda look like in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? Well, if we take a look at the Farragut from Season One, maybe it'd look like the U.S.S. Reliant concept by Joe Jennings, Mike Minor, and Lee Cole?

Fixed some geometry errors on the underside, then got to work on the panels. Now to think of some smaller greebles like I did on the upper half.

Subpanels and pylons!


I also restored the windows. I think I'll update the windows in my Enterprise model and use this arrangement for the Reliant. Which means I need to rebuild the bridge for the Enterprise as well as modify the saucer.

So, it's been a while, hasn't it? I started blocking out the nacelles, and instead of posting a few WIP shots with the basics all together, I ended up just detailing the entire section. After watching SNW s2e1 and seeing some interesting detail going on, I couldn't figure out just where the disruptors were supposed to be! Plus, there were some interesting differences between my reference images that I had to figure out which ones to use.

So... I figured I'd add my own bits to fill out the design. With that said, here's the warp nacelle/big honkin' disruptor canon.

And a quick render of the Galileo.

OK finished my edits to the saucer. I also learned how to rotate an HDRI image.

Really nice work! Love it!

Thank you! It was a fun build, and quick (for me) to boot. A nice change of pace from what I've been working on.

And now back to your irregularly scheduled program.

So, it's been 3 months since I last poked at the Reliant. I got a little stuck because I didn't like the greebles on the underside. They just looked too...plain.

Also, work took precedence over hobbies, and that took some time away.

ANYWAY! Figured I'd open up the file and just dug in. Did some detail work on the middle bits.

Alright, finished detailing the underside of the wing. At least as much as I can think to stick under there. I wanted to add a disruptor turret in the same area as on the K'tinga. So I made a quick and dirty model loosely based on the cannon on the wings of the B'rel Bird of Prey. I also changed up some of the greebles on the rear end near the impulse engines.

Now I can move onto the main hull section.
