I do like the colors - I just don't know if I went the right direction with the design of the textures - the manner of the panels, and the overall layout.

I like the texture set on the Mirak. I have to ask though is there a reason the white horizontal "window" strips are split/angled like that?

Nicely done!

I wanted to have it look like the red strips are placed over the area where the windows are.

I like the paint scheme on the Mirak.

I wonder if Firesoul has seen this post...

I think a feline race making their ships look feline is too predictable - I have never liked the idea.

Okay, the solution may have been more simple than I thought. Added some underlying inner workings in the grey panels, but not as busy as the real greebly area.

EDIT: Took away a few things - made it a little less busy

Nice looking paint job. I'll be DLing them for my game, mate. They're looking real good.
If Romulans aren't cowards, then why do they taste like chicken?

what do the stock ones look like, I cannot find any good ref's, and the front cover of eaw is not all that good either.
