I fixted the mesh error yesturday, it was a bevel issue on an end poly, I just lopped it of and rebeveled the end. Update- started to work on hull plating this morning to me the surface needed something other than those large @ss pannels that are just sitting there. I should prolly do something with those as well. mabey add some design or something to them, just to break up the blandness, any suggestions?

I did make all the different styles of pannels that you see on the model, but for the renders here I just picked one set and duplicated those, faster. anyway hopes you like . . .

This is turning out great so far, but I think I've got some more references you might not have found. The DS9 model was sold in the recent auctions, and there are some pics I picked up at the time.

experimenting with the window on the outside edge face . . .
it's hard to tell as the reference images are not that specific. can't really get any definate details from them but I think they look something like this.

Ooking good, but I think the little cubes the windows are set into around the outside edges are generally a bit chunkier than you have them at the moment. ie they stick out further (mind you I haven't looked at the refs for a while )

Come to think of it, the DS9 technical manual had quite a few close up images of the nooks and crannies of the station, though how accurately they match up to the physical model I don't know.

I think you are right . . . dude, I have been slaving over these windows all day, I can't seem to get them right. I have my method for stagering them but the actual window design is eluding me. I see the image you are talking about in the refs but I am trying to over compensate for the "chunky" by having some inset into the hull, but of course this isn't right.

Now . . if they do stick out . . how much? I have no idea so I guess I will keep experimenting.

That would be a good idea, I should check into wheather or not they do match the model, it may be worth the purchase if it is . . .
