....or is it phase 3? I don't know phases.

Anywho, those of you who you were around Eric's forum some time roundabout November of last year might remember this project. Basically, I was trying to build a more detailed TOS Enterprise. I got the Engineering section done and then abruptly quit work on the project due to lack of interest on my part. Well, after months of "I'm gonna get back to that..." I actually did. Basically, I started on the saucer section, though I will be redoing the engineering section as well.

I've started with a slightly different approach this time. I'm sorta combining TOS, TMP, Phase 2 and Enterprise elements into one ship, but there will be some original stuff thrown in here and there.

Work on the saucer so far:

I'm experiencing deja deja vu vu! LOL!

The sense I've seen this before before. ;)

Excellent work. You know I love it. Heck, it's the Enterprise after all! Or more like it is all Enterprises. Wonderful!

Thanks, guys. Work's progressing slowly on this one (at least by my standards.) I started last week but back problems kept me off the PC for a few days and I don't have to tell you guys the joys of booleans and mesh errors and fun stuff like that in trueSpace.

Well, some of the fun stuff I did in the Army has assured me that my back and knees will never be the same again, but there are good times and bad times. It's getting better, though.

I started on the impulse engines.

Thanks, bro. It's not much, but I did some more work on the impulse engines.

And here's my inspiration for the impulse design, some rejected Andrew Probert refit impulse concept sketches:

Me neither...

Oh wait, that's on me isn't it? :P Thanks guys.

Not exactly the rest, but here's a little something. I did some work on the grid lines, made them thinner. And, since I was rebuilding the saucer anyway, I also changed the airlocks on the sides, made them smaller to fit with the size of the ship better. I also added some bits to the bridge and RCS thrusters.
