Default USS ZEUS modeling tests

This is a concept I came up with a while back. The idea here is to make a ship which is crossed between the Prometheus and the Defiant class. Since then, I've came up with three completely different designs with this concept in mind, though each are kinda neat in their own way I think. Anyways, here's some brief pics of the ship I've been working on over the last 5-8 months. Hope you like them

Stage one:
I made this before I had any grasp as to making "realistic" texturing.




Stage two:
Much better than the original one in terms of modeling and texturing. Some of the modeling still needs to be worked on as well as textures, but not bad over all compared to previous failures I've had... Note: Current textures are of my design. As of this photo, I re-edited my trek styled insignias with an off site nation I role-play as. I unfortunately have lost the original trek insignias which I've created...


Stage three:
Still no where near done with the modeling part, as I've just learned some techniques which will greatly improve the detail on the ship itself. It still gives you the general design of what I'm looking for though.






Interior designing- The Bridge
I have also begun working on some interior design for the ship as well, though I've made some changes since then. The general layout itself hasn't changed very much I think.



Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks. This model has been quite frustrating and yet fun to work on for me. I hope to have some updates soon...

As promised, an update on some of the changes I've made to the bridge. I'm thinking about taking a break from that and switching to more starship construction...



(I know, if you look closely enough at one of the figures it's an oddly textured stormtrooper, it's only there for personal reference for proper spacing when I start placing in chairs and people)
