My First Constitution Class! The Ressurection!

[Soran77]

I orginally made a connie in anim8or, it turned out ok.. but I was dissapointed by it's limitations. As you all might know I've been cranking out models like hotcakes the past few weeks.. Sketchup has so very many possiblities as a standalnoe modeling program, and even more potential with all of the plugins out there. This is my Constitution, It is almost done, and I am so proud of it! Please tell me what you think!

Very Impressive Soran! My only suggestion, and I really am not sure if you haven't used it already, is to use the follow me tool to make the primary hull as it will give a smoother look, like this;

(this took like, 25 seconds to do, so it might look kinda rough.)

I did yes but I'm going to re make the saucer

Impressive!

The B/C deck is a little too teardrop-shaed, should be more like an egg, but still nice. I might have to check out sketchup now.

I'd advice, first, to add a second dome inside the bussard to get a real bussard collector feel. Second, let the warp grille glow... white, I believe it was, or blue depending on your taste. The bridge dome glows too, if I'm not mistaken, and it seems you haven't done anything on the impulse engines yet. That's a long list

And, how does Kerkythea work for you?

It works amazingly well thanks for the link! I really and just getting my feet wet with this so I might not have the bgest renders yet!
