That is one stunning build of DS9.

Thanks Freak... it's only taking 10 years to finish...LOL... no rush
Update...
chipping away at it... making maps for Habi Ring. As long as I do one thing per day It will get done.

Outer ring is done, now to move onto the inner ring... have to start that from scratch, now image maps, no textures not even sure I did the poly optimization on it yet...lol
Here is a before and after shot of the small docking stations on the outer ring





Oh and one more thing... I saw a bit of detail in the series photo's that I may want to model... unfortunately the detail envolves the windows of the ship... all of the windows... I may remodel them, I don't know, I have to see how I feel
Here is what I have:


I had some for thought and added the oval bits in, but left them flat... here is the series:



All I need to do is bevel them out a bit and round the edges... but all over the outer portion of the ship....

and then I spotted this:


this is what I have



Anyway this is the inner ring and I haven't gotten there yet so my options are open...
personally, I think I am going to change them...

Welcome back bro! How you doing?

Hello Starship, how are ya? Long time...
I am doing great, good to be back, going to be here in moderation of course. I just got burned out on LW and life seemed to turn up the volume so things just kept me away from 3d. Plus it didn't help I found World of Tanks which took up all my spare time... that game is addictive...lol
How are you doing Brother?

Welcome back gpdesigner. (First thought was someone necroposted.) Yes DS9 LIVES!

Yep, .. going to finally finish this Space Station off, I think the new found interest in nodes has re-engaged me in 3d again... going to see if I can complete the texturing in nodes where possible, wish me luck.

Welcome back, look forward to your progress!

Thanks Starrigger, I can't say I will devote as much time as I use to when I was doing this 24/7, but I have some free time now and want to get back into finishing this.
I added some detail to the main dock on the outer ring, moved around a few details and added a few more just to make it look more full.
I am afraid that I will be modelling and tweaking while doing textures... hope I can remember how to put this station back together.

for reference this is how the old dock looked
