Looking really good, congrats on the win! I didn't realise there was any voting taking place or you would've got 7 for what it's worth :p Looking forward to the next update.

Here is another update !
Had a brainfart while snowboarding after seeing a piece of snow coming through a piece of cloth at the pub.
This is what is has to become:
Here is the idea:
Looks soemthing like this
CRAP !! You can still see the transparant frosted plexi. oh wait thats because light is getting into it from the sieds. DOH !!!
Hmm still a lot of light but it is not as visible now. the LCARS panel needs to be light tight from the sides and between the LEDS"s
And LED on: (my camera shows too much light. it actually is a easy going blue
Still soem licht polution but the principle works!!! now to do soem experimenting with the intesity of the leds
'Here is an overview of the layers of plexi

Another Update ! Finally had some time to translate!
HMMM Let poke some holes now the epoxy is dry
It finally became a 80mm fan. Just wouldnt get the 92mm in without it looking strange.
The Tail fan
I can still add the os SSD between the HDD's and they will still have enough cooling
Started on the Pylons with the warp nacelles. Added a couple of small hinges.
This should be made possible to do electrically (by the servo's running of an arduino) by pushing a button on the commbadge !
Warp speed !
Holes..
More holes ...
Jeffries tube from the series
The next pictures were made with green tubing for testing purposes. They will be replaced with feser white UV tubing as the whole interior will be airbrushed black and the led fan will be bue.
Ingress from the warp nacelles and egress towards the mobo and pump
Quick fitting session with all the deflector tunnel hardware fitted
Almost a shame to have to enclose this with foam
Well that was it for today

It's really coming togehter now.
I must say, HUGE!!!
Hahaha, yes its definately not a small case :)
But maybe its tiny compared to one of the next projects i am working on .......
:think:

Here are a quick couple of pics made tonight!

Looking better with every update dude! I wonder if you can provide me with a Trekkie insight into something seeing as it's a prominent part of your build. Why do the warp nacelles move in some ships before they go to warp? What's the story behind that meant to be as not all vessels even have that configuration do they... While you're at it, exactly what are the nacelles? I've seen the energy cores onboard in many episodes of varying series but I don't have the slightest clue how it's meant to be turned into propulsion!
I hope you do, consider it a challenge as I'm intrigued lol
If memory serves - it was something to do with the enhanced nature of the Warp drive fitted to the Intrepid class ships - they were the fastest ships in Starfleet by a substantial amount but I admit, I'm not the trekkie I used to be lol.
The only other ships I remember having moving nacelles were the Defiant Class but there may well be more...
More seriously though, it was probably because it looked cool!!! heh
OR there's this... lol
Did the defiant come into use in DS9 before or after Voyager started being shown - I could have sworn the nacelles on the Defiant moved....Quote:
Memory Alpha:
The variable-geometry pylon is a feature first introduced to Federation starships around 2370.
The warp nacelles have the ability to be raised into position for warp speeds, then lowered into a more streamlined position when at slower-than-light speeds. The Intrepid-class starships are equipped with this feature, an example of which is the USS Voyager. (VOY: "Caretaker")
The pylons were raised anytime a warp field was generated, even if the ship was not traveling at warp speeds. (VOY: "Learning Curve")
No other class of starship to date incorporates this design.
EDIT: The pedant in me took control - just been you-tubing the defiant and it doesn't have moving nacelles - at least I don't think so....
On another note, the shape of the Defiant would probably make it a much easier casemod lol
