All the textures have been applied now, and the major elements are in place (for the first time, the Kessok Heavy has a deflector). From here on in, it's a matter of applying the finer details and Kessok markings.

Here's a render from the back of the ship:

Very cool. The Kessok needed this. Desperately. Although your retextures of the stock models did an excellent job holding me over.  :)

Thanks for the support! With all the basics now in place, I've been working on the smaller details (I've copied a Kessok 'logo' from the reimagined Light over to here, see if you can spot it  ;) ). Here's a few renders of my progress below. Next is randomizing the windows, and adding smaller details like escape pods and thrusters. I might even add two shuttle hangars below where the impulse sections connect to the hull.

Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Hmmm...I think Neb is bland :P

Looking great there!

The detail on the textures are superb so far.  :thumbsup:

I wouldn't say it's bland but it does need something there. Maybe enlarge the two triangular plates on each side to cover more of the area that is grey. Maybe something along the lines the way you've done in the middle section.

 The pylons could use something on the sides of them also, like a grill design in the middle of them or something. Looks sort of bare there to me. Just a few small things you might consider. :)

Like the shuttle hangar idea, that should look great.

Updates now. I've added the two shuttle hangars (which will probably need to be bigger), some details to the front section such as sensor pallets and domes (I would assume a kind of observation dome or similar  :P ).

As usual, a picture; from the underside to show the placement of the hangar.

with the addition of shuttle hangers it really brings up one question in my mind

What would a Kessok Shuttle look like

But this is really looking good cant wait to play with the new kessok
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
-Pulp Fiction
