Okay!
I've found the back up files...And because I simply don't want to start the headache of the Star drive right this moment and because there was issues with the mating from that version between the Saucer ...I'm now doing the Saucer. I'll save the rudimentary shapes that I made for it and use it to carve out the front of the Star Drive.

The Secondary Deflector was very difficult.
I designed improperly from the begining. The triangular shape was difficult to achive in three Dimensions but the original surface model was just about getting a surface between two lines.
I'm very enthused because this was a step forward. ANd it feels like since I've done the majority of the Star Drive before it should be easier.
There are so far no rounded surfaces...I want to wait until the design shape is fully in place.

The Rudimentary Main Gun is in place too. It's shape worked out well as well as the Port and Starboard Ablative Armor. These only appear to be one Object but this model is 3 seperate object that can be moved from each other and I won't uniteLast edited by Bagpuss; 31 December 2009, 10:00 PM.

Sorry I forgot.
There are things about it I don't care for.
The Front Part of the nacelles is bad...just straight up bad. I have a redesign for the under side...drawn up and I'm going to give it a try.
Enigma has problem areas like this that need refinement.
The deflector is another one.
I want to remove the two side dishes on either side of the main dish and let more of the deflector housing show through.
And of course this is still on CAD...
Sketchup is only 500 dollars so I'll get it after the new computer...but there is no reason not to continue on the Processor killing CAD.
