Phaser nipples and lightbulbs have been properly added. However, it is 4am in my time, so you guys will get this for download on turkeyday (yes, I know it really is thanksgiving already, but I haven't slept, therefor it isn't the same day)

Nice work. Hey Fury, ya know, that gold filling there in the Fed toothy grin looks decidedly ghetto. heh. I'm a huge fan of soft blue glows. What made you go with the gold for warp illumination? Makes me feel like blastin klinks with my ghetto blaster all turned up blaring a Jay-Z song.

Orange = ghetto? that's new, lol.

The orange glow was an afterthought. I wanted to making something with a lot of blue paint (as inspired by GAFYs textures) - I originally hard a purple/blue warp grille, but the ship got way too heavy in the blues. So What i did was I took a look at the color wheel and thought "how far away from blue can I get? OH Orange!" I then tried it and thought it looked fantastic.

I have since adopted a similar principle for all my other textures. Start with a color (red, blue, green, orange, whatever) and a metal (gold, silver, white, platinum, bronze, copper, etc; yes white is actually a metal according to heraldric terms). and then pick a color that is opposite (or nearly opposite) on the color wheel for contrast.
So it ended up, for the Feds, being Blue as the color, White as the Metal, and then Orange for the glows. The Kzinti are Red for the color, Gold for the metal, and Teal for the glows (actually, cyan is opposite red, but its close enough). You should also note that my klingons are the same idea as the kzinti, except the metal is grey instead of gold and is the primary color instead of red being primary.

Now of course you know that you can't rest until you've finished the rest of the fleet.  Back to work! :)

I for one thank you FoaS_XC and the rest of the model makers, script writers and other SFC contributors out there for the fan content that has kept this game alive after all these years.

Looks good. I wonder why is it that the Mirak symbol is not centered on the forward area like it is in the Mirak frigates?

No real reason, just thought it looked better that way.

Tried sleeping but couldn't manage it (sleep schedule seems to be all screwy).

However, this is a good opportunity to further the DD (WIP name is "Flaming Hammerhead of Death")

Look what I found - one of my first scratch-built models. Amazing what a few years can do.

Don't worry I am.

I should just open up a twitter account so I don't flood this thread any more than I have.

Added some more grunge - all I need to do is add the beacons and phaser nipples, HP, and make a break model.
