two things,

One - you might be better off building with the grossest of shapes first, tweak those, and then add detail. The sides of the shuttle should probably not be perfectly horizontal - let them slope. The shuttle looks like its got an elvis-style hairdo - get rid of that outcropping about the windows. For renders don't be afraid to throw some lights on there - and increase the sampling on your jpegs - its hard to make out what're smoothing problems vs. just striations from the JPEG compression.

Two - with all your WIPs you might want to coalesce them all into one thread. I'm glad your building so many things, but you've got six threads all with different WIPs. Granted, this is more under the purview of the mods (and im really not trying to be one) - It's also easier on you, since all your stuff is one on thread - no hunting around for them.

That second one definately reminds me of the truck in the a-team. I think you should consider it a texture possibilty  :angel:

In 2266, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a Star Fleet court for a crime they didn't commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Federation underground. Today, still wanted by the Federation, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Hehe, might be fun as an alternate texture.

 :D

Cool, now paint it black, make the stripe thicker as it tapers toward the rear, add some bullet holes, a GMC grill, and a spoiler. And to finish her off, add the cast into the front windows, or mabey just MR T holding a snickers bar  ;D

Oh, and then make the federation one LOL

The second was more of a Space above and Beyond look to it, the transport from there

Just a suggestion to anyone that's having a flakey computer issue..

Get an account set up at somewhere like Box.net, Dropbox, G.ho.st, 4shared, or similar.. and back up your meshes there.  Then, if things go down, you'll be able to pick up where you left off.

I currently have my ongoing stuff backed up on 3 hard drives, including one away from home, so that I'll never lose it all..

And using 4shared or similar won't cost you a penny.  Hate seeing work going down the toilet because of data corruption or similar.. :p
