So... I've finally managed to get around to unwrapping every last piece of this model and did the majority of the texture work. I want to call this the final image of the series, but there are still some things I need to sort out. Mostly getting bits I missed and some color matching. Plus I need to light it to better match the shows and game that she's appeared in so far. But the vast majority of the work is pretty much done.

To think I first started this project on September 6, 2020, almost two years ago! And through the entire build, I'd been doing reworks, rebuilds, and revisions as I went along. Each step I gained a bit more proficiency in Blender until I had become comfortable with the software to the point of...Let's call it "competency". Is there still a lot more to learn? Oh, yeah there is! So, so, much more! But as far as hard surface modeling and texturing goes? I think I got that pretty much down. Still, I don't doubt I'll run into some problems to solve down the road, but such is the process of doing art.

But for now? Here is my version of the U.S.S. Enterprise as seen in Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
