"Earth believes the Romulans to be warlike, cruel, treacherous. And only the Romulans know what they think of Earth."

Coming along nicely, but I have NO idea how I'm going to do the wings.

looks like you are off to a good start. I am sure you will figuer out a way to do the wings.

Ooooh looking cool.

This will go in nicely with your TOS enterprise

Yeah, I wanted to have a Balance of Terror SE by Christmas, but that's getting pushed back accordingly with Set Sail running late. But it's definitely on the middle burner.

Fantastic - I love the Romulan BOP, tried to make one a while back but I had trouble with it's rear, never tried to do the wing unfortunately.

However you are the TOS Guru so I am not worried

She's got WINGS!

Wow... awesome! This has to be at the top of the list of most overlooked ships in all of Star Trek. I'm happy to see you taking her on! I'm sure it'll look awesome, just like your Enterprise.

Ahhhhh, lovely *sits back and enjoys the view*
(Hell, where's the bottle of romulan ale when you need it???)

Happy to be of service. This will be released eventually as part of my "Feel the Terror" pack.

It turns out it wasn't THAT hard. I thought there was a much smoother join between the wings and the hull. There isn't. So I extruded the base of the hull up at the angle I wanted for the shape of the wing, extruded that up for the wing itself, used a little sub-surf to smooth out the curves on the wings (sub-surf means never having to say you're co-planar), added the curves at the leading and trailing edges, and easy-peasy.

Looking at the model and McMaster's plans, it's a very "sculpted" ship.

Fin! And a gun! Now on to the windows (they all protrude a bit from the hull, so no texturing this time out) and then a fresh coat of paint. Surya is first for the paint shop, then this gal.
