billz: take a look at the strange "triangles" in the aft dorsal area. that's a modeling goof. the textures for the two kessoks are made in weird patches to fill in a strangely distributed set of faces. if you mean over making the federation "makeup", it's these scattered bits that prevents me from slapping the fed delta or "lipstick" on it. ditto with the upper "engine" pylons (they look worse from the back), as things are not well aligned on the model itself. try having a peak at the nif itself. it's a tangled mess of patched together meshes, rather than being made of an upper and lower hull with two nattily assembled warp nacelles.
