By the way, I have a ton of shots of the Enterprise model (and a few of the D7) that I'd be happy share with everyone. They're not as pretty, but they show off every damn detail of the model!
Anyone interested? I can send them to Dax. Maybe I'll just give them to Astris Scientia (or whatever that name is) by way of saying thanks for all the great help they've been.

That would be one Bernd Schneider. Rattle a cow bell or proclaim how beautiful the NX-01 looks and he'll show up here within a moment.

I'd be more than happy to receive any more pictures/photos you have, Mojo. Thanks again for the earlier images.

I heard there were images of little people in some of the windows...were yu able to identify any, if they were still there?

Just out of curiosity, Mojo... Is it hideously difficult to do "paint jobs" on completed models? Pennants, streamers, that sort of stuff?
What I mean is, real-world navies tend to change their pennant styles every now and then, and real-world ships get repainted so often that the new styles are typically also introduced on older ships. It would be nice if Starfleet did that to a degree as well (even if starships don't need repainting quite that often).
The Mirandas have those stylish red stripes surrounding the pennant lettering, something the otherwise similar Constitution and Constellation paint jobs don't have. What if some newer Constitutions actually got that type of decoration? What if some had blue-and-gold lines, or a newish Excelsior had the hull colors of a Galaxy? What if flagships carried special heraldry? None of this would show in the long-distance shots of the TV episodes, so we could claim this variety was always there...

Sweet Dreamy Lola. Very yummy. The Deffie model is awesome and the shots you took of the E-A are just beautiful.
I'd definitely be interested in seeing whatever you have of the D-7. Or anything else.
As you know, I'm a huge fan of behind-the-scenes stuff when it comes to the creative process, so any little tidbits or anecdotes you have to share in that area are also always fun to read.

My thoughts exactly. Mojo, you call this Deffie unfinished? That's really hard to believe. How can you possibly improve that one even further?
And count me in on the "I love every little behind-the-scenes tidbit" faction!

OH WOW! Mojo, congratulations - you have the title holder (in my book) of the first person to create a CGI object that looks PHYSICAL.
(I've got one EXCEPT... the glow on the back of the nacelles - more the right one - it could be cause it's against a black background!?! Maybe it's because it's obscuring/whiting over that little pylon in the middle of the grill area too much!?! I don't know!!)
FANTABULOUS!! Are you going to light the little "impulse" ports - the little aft circles - we see them red.

Cloak emitters? I believe we saw in "Valiant" that those were escape pods, didn't we?
And perhaps the credit for the "first person to make a CGI model that looks real" should go to Andrew Bradbury, the guy who apparently modelled it.
