That looks great. I've always liked the two-toned paint job of the TOS shuttle better than the later shuttles.

HAPPY Re: This is not a reboot

UPDATE...
I did a little more textures but realized I still have a few smoothing issues. I might rebuild the main body of the shuttle or I might leave it because it still looks good from a reasonable distance. A few folks have expressed that the shuttle bay appears to be a tight squeeze. These pics should show that it's not all that tight. I'm thinking that the shutle bay might be able to fit four shuttles.

I don't see any smoothing errors from that distance. So, if you have to get really close to see them and you don't plan to get that close, I wouldn't worry about it.

I like it!
The shuttle has an 'angry look' to the aft section.

Is this all part of one big mesh (i.e. a ship with a bay and shuttle to be posed) or am I just smoking too much old rope?

It's all one big mesh.

UPDATE...
Finally got around to doing the grid lines after a hell of a lot of work. I'm happy with them and I won't be making any changes so don't ask.
I mean it.







I really mean it.

Thanks. I thought some people might bitch about them being too deep or too thick, but it appears ok.

Looks like about the same thickness I usually use. And, as far as how deep they are, I don't know how Max operates, but sometimes I can't get lines to cut in trueSpace without making them deep. I get stupid "can't do the booleans" messages, so I move the pieces to make the cuts deeper and it works. Besides, the deeper lines show up better because the deeper cut makes a darker shadow.

Nice work, bro. Are you going with a cluster pattern (ala NCC-1701, etc.) or just randomly placing them?

I don't know if I would call it random since I am thinking about how I want the windows placed. But I'm not following any set pattern so it is made up.

UPDATE...
Starting work on the lower saucer windows. I wasn't going to include portholes here but I tried it and thought it didn't look too bad so I kept it.
I'm still thinking if I'll keep the back walls of the large cut outs the way they are now or make them more angeled.

Not so much an update but another ship design.
While working on a ship for another person I was playing around with the saucer and came up with another idea for a ship.
The first two pics include the ship I was working on. You should be able to guess the one.
Right now it only roughed in I'll add all the parts to make it fit with my alt-Trek concepts. The warp engines will probably be moved.

I like those a lot. The new one in the first 2 pics looks like Enterprise meets Romulan BOP and Millennium Falcon. The other one has more of a Flying Wing look to it.

Started to add windows to the lower saucer.
The next two pics are my version of the Ptolemy transport/tug.
After that I started on something for the Feds to shoot at.
A Tholian ship.

I finished the windows on the saucer rim.
I added a few details to the Kelvin part of the ship and built a few cargo containers to go into the cargo bay.

Nice work. I like the little cargo canisters. The round ones remind me of the ones that appeared in every cargo bay shot from TNG.

Yeah, I figured so. Those little containers were so basic and yet so cool at the same time. They even had miniature ones for when the scene called for them.

HAPPY Re: This is not a reboot

UPDATE...
Start out with a shot of the cargo bay interior and a shot of the shuttle bay interior. that's all I'm gonna do withthese for now I don't think they need a lot of detail.
I also started to work on the textures for the upper saucer. I can see that I need to fix the coffee stain.
The last shot is of the finished windows of the bottom of the saucer.

Yeah, if you're just going to be on the outside looking in, those rooms look plenty detailed.

Everything looks great, dude. I really like your version of the Saladin-class. Even if it weren't a Terran Empire vessel, it would be a cool refit version of Franz Joseph's classic design.

This is really coming along. Your shuttle bay interior is excellent. Your take on a deflector housing is a nice update.

Thank you.

UPDATE...
A few more textures for the upper saucer. I'm happy with them for now I might tweek a bit here or there.
There are also a few examples of what I want to do with the name of the ship. I'm not sure about the one I like more.

It's nice to see large starship meshes with detailed interiors. So much more you can do with them cinematically.
