Not super detailed but a good start I thing. I moved the torp launcher to the bottom sensor dome because that where it was in "Arena" Re-Mastered.

[Nebula]

Good work on that so far :)

[Dr-Timelord]

[Makotokat]

Update! Smoothed the saucer, changed triangles undenreath, modified the torp launcer a bit, added grill over impulse engine, and a few lights as well...

I never really felt anythng for the connie, she was "outdated" :D (i grew up on TNG). but your doing a good job- would liek to see this finished!

[Makotokat]

Interesting take, it's more accurate than the latest New Voyages model, for sure. ;)

Can't wait to see it with all of it's clothes on.

[Makotokat]

I'm adding a few bits here and there. Just a couple more bits and the pain of texturing begins!

[evil_genius_180]

Interesting take on the Constitution-class. You've made some changes on the old girl, but it looks good. I like those impulse engines. :D

[Makotokat]

And the struts are done.....rough draft now complete. Detailing begins......with the impulse deck!

[admiral horton]

nice start

[Dr-Timelord]

looks :D

[evil_genius_180]

Nice job on those struts. :thumb:

[scifieric]

Interesting take on the old girl. How's that texturing going?

[publiusr]

Who was that that did such a good job of the NCC-1700 Franz Joseph CGI some years back?

[Nadesico]

ahhhh. the CG equivilant of "Fisher Pryce's My First 3D model", lol.

It's interesting take you have on a few of the details, but everyone's has their own personal touch so it's not a bad thing.

[uniderth]

You should leave that texture on there that says "Left."

Who was that that did such a good job of the NCC-1700 Franz Joseph CGI some years back?Vektor.

Nice job. Interesting choice of source material. Most people go with Sinclair, Casimiro, or at least the FJD Booklet of General Plans. These plans don't have as much information but might allow for more improvisation. It won't be the same as the dozens of Connie's that are already out there, I'll give you that.

[publiusr]

I like this technical manual Enterprise. Very smooth side view.

Is Vektors NCC-1700 still on the web? Address?
