eh... i liked the blue gray scheme better, especially on the secondary hull as it made it look like the original connie color scheme.  Grey on grey is not my favorite way to panelling.

Yeah the blue was great.  :(   Like GAFY said it just needed a second color with a better blend.

Thanks for the input guys,

yeah.. about the panelling colour thingy  :o  I had the whole ship finished up with blues and different shades of gray, and no matter what i was just not happy with the way it looked, so i went for a dash of white / light grey and low and behold, i smiled  :)

when i release the model, i will release the psd files and all the panelling is on seperate layers so it a simple enough task to change their hue and brightness / contrast to each persons taste.

thank you.

Thank YOU for creating such a magnificent model.

I want to second this and add another thank you for letting everyone pitch ideas. 3-D modeling is so beyond my ability to understand it's almost like magic and to have so many of my ideas included in one design makes me feel like a kid on Christmas day.

Now that is a Thank you always nice to see how different ppl do textures and very rare for anyone to share the build files
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

Whoa -  That is one outstanding model Asylum, excellent detail. I favor the grey hull color variant but a bluish tint might be a little better for TNG. The use of specular/bump mapping on the primary hull is over the top. Excellent!!!! I stand in awe..

This is an outstanding job that keeps getting better everytime I see an update. I don't really care for the designs of TNG, but had more of the ships been built with this line of thought ...

hm.

Nah. PreTOS/TOS rules.

(But this is a great looking ship!)

She's looking great.  However, one small comment.  Perhaps the number of windows on the saucer should be reduced, just a tad.  Especially near the impulse engines. 

Just a thought.

looks good, but ya reduce the windows.  you probably can remove the middle row for the 3 rows at the rim,  and space out the windows around the center or the saucer (space them out alon the radius more)

One more suggestion.  You must teach me to mesh!!!!

That way I can finally update the Resurrection.  MUAHAHAHA!!!!!   Been meaning to for a long time, but all the various tutorials that people tell me to read don't help me.  :-(

Except FOAS's saucer tutorial.  Now that one was excellent.  Now he needs to make more in depth tutorials.  *looks for FOAS*
