Galaxy Class
One of my classic orthogonal views - I am so happy with these proportions. They were of course measured against the blueprints, but that was 2 or 3 years ago at this point. The body and engines are very similar to the galaxy class I already posted - the saucer is all new. The reason I rebuilt was twofold - one, I did not like how the snot technique created odd gaps on the underside, and two, I wanted LOTS more detail. Before it was just a big grey blob, and I realized that Star Trek ships live in the tiny splashes of color dotted all over them. So, here we are!
The "rivet counters" among you will surely note that there are too few lifeboats. Alas. The grill pieces on the nacelle pylons, however, are one of my _favorite_ details on this. The effect adds so much to an otherwise flat region.
