Textures look good, not sure about the blue running around the underside but that's just me ;).

The cut out is much better now, but judging by the aft view there's a few bits you might want to change.

The 'neck' should be wider where it connects to the saucer, the secondary hull gets narrower in width towards the shuttle bay. And you might want to enlarge the main part of the nacelles, the 'hoods' and rear exhaust are fine but the main bit seems to be too narrow making the underside of the hood (where the blue lights will be) much wider than it should be.

Attached a pic for a better explanation :):

You still haven't finished those warp engines yet.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Nope the Warpies are not finished as for the secondary hull it matches my ref so will not be changing it any further other than tweaks.

The under saucer ring is present on the proper ship.

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight

He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,

I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

This is great man, cookie. 2 nit picks thoue, the phaser balls are way diffrent from the movie ones, texture wise, if you would like i can post a pic, i beleave i have one, a close up, but if your not done or thats all you want to do then never mind. The other is the phaser burns, your probly not done your work but i do like it, jest needs to be darker. I'v been blown away with the work you have been doing on this ship. And i'm not trying to start a fight with anyone but through the moddeling phase you have shown amazing grace with all the nurmers nitpick ,i say WE all throne at you on this project. Thoue at times i could hear the fustration in your posts with other over the design modeling but you always seemed to end the post with a smile. We all mean well in trying to help out but simply put, your building a ship from scrach that a team of profecinals were payed millions to do. I think it's safe to say that everyone here is proud of the work your doing. And i belive that if there is a modder of the year, it's you.

My only nitpick(I don't care about the phaser turrets being "wrong", they're small and no one's going to notice) is with the registry font.  Something just seems off about it.

It is because it the NCC-1701 registry is too tall-- it should be squished a bit, where the lower sections should meet at the midpoint of the hull plating ring-section, not at the edge. Also, the NCC-1701 font should be thicker and closer together.

Ohhh, another thing Baz, the letters of the name are spaced too far apart and you have it: U.S.S ENTERPRISE

It should be: U.S.S. ENTERPRISE. ;)

Not yet.  The name needs to be closer to the phaser bank, the letter spacing is still too far apart, and there needs to be another period in U.S.S.  The NCC-1701 looks perfect now though.  And real nice work on the impulse engine.

Thats what I meant by "registry". The U.S.S. Enterprise is the "name" to me. :)
