Thanks for the welcome back fellas.

So, the Connie unfortunately i managed to lose. It really put me on a downer when i did lose it and I swore that it was such a pain to build I would not bother again with a connie.  :nono:

That said, many moons later, I am making a new one, with more polies & more accuracy. Since the last build I have gotten a little better so where else to put all those hours of practice eh... Objective remains the same, make a great connie then build a proper TNG connie.

Early wips, but I am taking my time on her and thought i should post summat since I asked the thread to be unlocked.

Thanks for the comments on the Connie, I am currently away on another military comms course. Don't have the Connie mesh with me so decided last week to start a side project whilst i was away, it developed well. As such I present you with the beast!!!  :evil: She is 100% clean, all unified, as shown in the wires  :thumbsup:

She still has a way to go, the bottom needs mesh work and the rear, and the top needs finishing off..  but thought i would share  ;)

Looking really good.  :dance  Have you seen Saquist's thread in Art Forum?  Might help you to refine her a bit more.  http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,8350.0.html
