I currently have 3 ideas:

Constitution Luxury Class (my brother's design, I'll build the 3D version)
I (hopefully) will be able to add my andby brother's name to the image.

"Old Friends" or "Passing the Torch"

Or a picture using either my Argonaut or Polaris.

a really tough choice TBH ;) the luxury Connie looks really interesting

I was thinking about Proteus too, it's a really smooth and elegant design ;)

I'd go with Proteus myself Wiley, and congrats, that is a GREAT Honor to be asked by Doug for this!  Be proud my friend :)

Scratch that, after doing a few renders, there is no good view to render from.

Well deserved invitation Willey!  :thumbsup:

Maybe the Polaris and the Valdore fighting would make a good scene too. ;)

Okay WC, this is fantastic news :)
(yes, I only just noticed this)

if you do the connie/nx picture, perhaps a nod to BC and excalibur is in order?

Congratulations :)

Also also mentioned that these were meshes created for PC gaming and I'm capable of making high-res ones.
