Me neither..until I took a bucket of screen captures off the Generations DVD. Have a look as the camera pans down from where Harriman, Scotty and Chekov are standing. You can see the funky shapes as well as the enterprise label on the bottom of the deflector housing.
Oh and the picture of the B, C and D earlier - the C looks rather like the different pictures of the Enterprise C done by some people (Tachy I believe?) - that can be seen at Bernd's site.
And Seanr comes here. I wish he'd post some more stuff. BTW, I helped him 'polish' his lighting through unrestrained criticism!
His 'Daedelus in Drydock' is calender-worthy.
Any suggestions? How about some more interesting angles? Looking out of windows etc. I'd like to have a perspective looking out one of the window of the E-D 'neck' either up at the nacelle or at the underside of the saucer - stretching away into the distance (since at 'human' size it is quite LARGE!) Exsquisit detail would be required on the hull of the Enterprise.

I have Tachy's old Ambassador )both variants) somewhere round, it's actually quite different...as well as being about 1/10th the number of polys. There are no bump maps on mine, all the grids are modelled, all the markings, everything.
Stringer's Ambassador is around 150K or something.
As for a view out the window, that's possible. Though it'd mean doing some more detailing on the D. But there are window boxes behind each window, so it wouldn't be hard to shoehorn a set in there and do a shot.
Boh:
No, just on the Enterprise and Lakota. The Excelsior was quite different down there...
As for other ships in calendars...well, the problem is that alot of stuff created for the shows just won't stand up to print resolution. i.e. the Akira, Steamrunner, Saber, Norway, etc,etc,etc. You can see alot of the segmentation in a few things already.
OTOH, after B is done, I'll get back to the Akira which is of similar quality.

But you have the basic idea of the Steamrunner, Akira, Norway and Sabre - surely you can make fresh models with more detail? Extrapolating where necessary?

That's the nacelle control room for the Enterprise-E isn't it?

Awesome looking CG of the B, C and D. Though I noticed the Ambassador is actually a half-way house between the Ambassador/Ent-C and the later Yamaguchi/Zhukov variant, mostly I noticed the bridge area is the Yamaguchi one, The E-B is beautiful, my second favourite Federation design, behind the E-A of course.

Well, I was thinking along the lines of: If these are new models, Its possible others could be made.
If I ever get super-good, I'd be happy to donate something to the callender

How about some OTHER species/organisations other than the UFP featured? A Ferengi D'Kora class - with all the bits and pieces open that we've never seen in action. Maybe the large cargo bays open, the weapons pod on top extended, the 'claws' decended - the drop ship leaving?
