Enterprise 1701-D [LDD MOC]

EDIT: Skip to post 3 for the completely overhauled version.

First off, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, and if it is, feel free to move it, mods.

Just finished up my fairly massive representation of the Starship Enterprise 1701-D from Star Trek TNG in LDD, complete with a tiny shuttlecraft, and an entirely out of scale, but still extremely small version of the bridge, tucked away in the saucer section. I've always preferred heavily brick-built models (like the early Star Wars sets), so that's the route I went with this. Let me know what you think, thanks!

The little bridge is awesome!

My only advice is making the saucer section wider and the nacelles thinner. I think that'll really improve the overall shape.

After realizing that I focused a bit too much on size over accuracy, and that I'd never be able to Bricklink this massive ship, I went back to the drawing board, and came up with this. Unfortunately, I had to remove the bridge, but I think it turned out much better overall.

Let me know what you think!

I think the underside of the saucer could use some filling out, but the shuttle craft is spot-on!

Star Trek ships are unbelievably difficult to make with Lego due to their awkward shaping but I think you have done an excellent job! The model is certainly easily recognizable as the Enterprise D and I really like the mini shuttle. My only comment would be to try and make the phaser array at the top of the ship more apparent.

I prefer the first version, I looks big and bulky just like the Galaxy class should. the second version of the shuttle is better and more in scale. Also that bridge is so cute, I love it. The second one looks more like the Ambassador class though, it needs to be a bit more bulky. Still a great job TheLonelySquireOfGothos.
