Thanks, been reworking on the front of the nacelle as the photos I have of the model showed I had really badly misjudged the shape.

Progress is a lot slower than I would like due to the simple looking, but complex to achieve shape.

Nice work. I've studied this ship in great detail and I know what you mean about the shape of the nacelles. It's probably one of the hardest shapes on the ship to get right, I'd imagine.

Getting closer.

The rear nacelle dosnt have nearly enough neon tubes, so I will be redoing those, and having them in an arc, rather than a line, so that will be coming up next.

This is some nice progress so far mate. I know how tricky these TMP nacelles are so take your time with them

Yeah, they are an absolute bastard, you get them looking good from one angle, and they are completely off from any other.

Bit by bit it looks more like it should.

Thanks, the trouble with making these is the best references for these type of nacelles are the enterprise, but there are enough differences in the much fuzzier references for the stargazer to see that there are some differences, and not just at the back.

I can fully understand how people struggle with this shape, I know I have been.

If it looks a little off..
A) the lighting is set to shadow maps, as area shadows were taking too long and
B) it still doesnt have its top and bottom bits, which add so much to the shape we know and love.
