Yeah, that image is one of the ones I've been using. It was truly a godsend because all of the other images were either in perspective or had crappy lighting. There still isn't a great view of the bottom of the ship, unfortunately, and Mark hasn't yet replied to my latest e-mail concerning that, but I think I've managed pretty well. I've also kept the texture resolution reasonable, but I'm just not happy with some of what I'm seeing. When I'm finished and Starforce gets a hold of it I think I'm going to increase the res for Bridge Commander.
In the meantime, here are some picture updates. Aligning everything between the top of the spine and the sides of the secondary hull has been a massive pain(!!!), but what I've got is coming along nicely, I think. All that's left for that section is detailing the forward, dark portion. There were also a few additional changes I needed to make to the mesh to better match the original. I honestly didn't think to check the shape of the secondary hull before I started texturing. It seemed perfectly alright at the time, but there were some inconsistencies that I had to correct in order for the textures to be as accurate as possible (which still isn't as close as I'd like).
We've had some severe icy weather the past few days, and I'm off work again tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to knock out most of everything else tomorrow.
