Sovereign class MSD, slow build

[bmused55]

Hi folks.
I've decided to do a sovereign class and I'm re-tooling as I go along on this one, pumping an added level of detail and adding a little more "okuda" into it with some of the detailing.

Here's a work in progress which is using the correct outline for the First Contact version of the Ent-E.
Drexler's Ent-E MSD has a distinctly different outline that is taller more plump engineering hull and skinnier less angled nacelles. Apparently he use the outline from the blueprints sent to the model makers who seem to have taken liberties!

Great work bmused55
I know for a fact that the Sovereign class is one of the hardest to do. And you are taking it one step further by adapting it to a new outline. So far, you've done an amazing job.

Keep us posted my friend.

Thank you explorer. This MSD is going to be my new flagship :)

Here is a close up of some of the detail you can expect:

I like how you worked out the yacht being right below the torpedo launcher, that must have been a pain.

Great job bmused55
my only nitpick would be adding a little more detail in the nacelle. It looks blend by comparison. I've attached a pick from IAW! that might show you a little more.

That's just my opinion. But you definitely deserve a thank you!

[bmused55]

Mmm, you raise a good point.
I'll include more greeblies in the nacelle with my next update to the MSD :)
