USS Enterprise E - Nemesis-WIP-Transition Zone
So I spent a couple of days off and on trying to improve what I just did to the deflector trench. The curvature of the sidewalls transitioning from a flat area in front of the dish to a curved area behind the yacht is rather complex.
In my case it was too flat behind the yacht and the sidewalls were curved the wrong way, at least from what I could see in the CGI images. They needed to be concave not convex.
So I carved and sanded away most of what I had done until the sidewalls were angled but flat then added strip styrene around the rim with a slight overhang to putty up to using AVES. I'm happy now.
