The image above took some time and I’m still not very satisfied with it, but I have decided to put it to bed and post it here. The work bees seen here were designed based on some John Eaves designs (again!), and here’s a closer look at it below: 
Here’s John’s original sketch:
My mesh was based on the one in the bottom left 🙂
Due to a request this weekend for a shot of the Insignia Class starship in a Nemesis-style drydock I had a quick search on the net and was lucky enough to find the above mesh at scifi-meshes.com by an S-Stephen.
I have only done a rough mock up so far (which is why the above is quite low-res, sorry), but I plan to do a couple of good desktop sized shots over the next week. So stay tuned!
