Welp, I've been authorized to release a few beauty stills of the new Enterprise-D CG model I created for the finale, "These Are the Voyages". Hats off to Benjamin Burnett, who helped me in a pinch and painted all the engineering hull textures. I modeled it and textured the saucer and nacelles.
It took some liberties. As many know there were two miniatures: The initial ILM smooth 6 footer (which in my opinion was the more graceful of the two) and the chunkier, thicker paneled 4 footer.
I gave it the lines of the 6 footer, about half the thickness of the paneling from the 4 footer, the thicker lifeboat hatches of the 4 footer, and the shinier highlights of the Generations repaint.
A notable difference is that because of constraints in the model the lights on the rim of the saucer were never seen lit, this is the first time that they are.
I hope I got it right. This really was a labor of love... with a check attached. :)
