Too much in that last one. You may want to alter the font. Also, don't forget that it should be 'S.S.'.

Overall, looking good.

Agree with vortex, to much contrast to the base hull colour.

If you make it a closer shade to the rest of the hull it may work.

thank you... what font should it be then? also it IS "SS" though i did think about doing "HMS Mason" :D

understood... was going for a "...the new ships of Starfleet have experimental warp stress hull coatings on some of the leading edges of the ship..." but was just a thought lol...

note: this is the "S.S Mason" NX 266. Starfleet Scout Vessel. My hope is that when this is finished i can proceed with the:

"S.S Mason" NX 266 - Refit version.
"U.S.S Mason" NCC 26610 - X-era Version
"U.S.S Mason" NCC 26610 - A - TNG era
"U.S.S Mason" NCC 954266 - PostDW
"U.S.S Mason" NCC 95426610 - Future Version

I was just trying to point out that you were missing the periods after each 'S'. Look for a TOS font. Either Baz, Wiley or Phoenix could point you the right way for that.

That's looking much better! Not sure about those bussards, they seem a little 'off' somehow.

Lookin' good!

I think the bussard texture is too "uniform", needs to be toned down a little and more random.  Also, I would change the orange-ish color to a deeper red.

Too much red for my liking, a medium orange/red might work. Similar with impulse engines, a little too deep in colour (May be lack of glows.). Overall, she's looking great.
