it's hard to pick colours for things like the impulse grates when everything keeps changing.  believe me.

agreed KSC (long time dude) im happy with ship i think...

she is all textured now and other things too (file structure etc) but i agree about the bussards hope to remedy that soon.

by the way this thread is now SFRD thread. I could have changed it long ago but its only now I feel I am good enough.

For the bussards, try using an image of a cloud, something with variety and colorize it with the correct bussard glows (look at references).

For mine, since I use Photoshop, I used a pattern overlay that looked like clouds, added a transparent color gradient on top of it, giving the bussard color.

Perfect! Quick question; are the panels on the outer section of the saucer in line with the inner part? Looks a little out to me.

You may need to adjust the darker panels on the pylons. Seems like one of them is being cut off near the nacelles. The fixes to the saucer is a massive improvement, good job :)

you're right but not by as much as the angle shows lol, literally it was about 2 or three pixels hidden lol but have fixed it and removed the small panel/grill closest to the ship end of the pylon.

and cheers about the saucer, it was obvious once pointed out to me lol

This one is growiing on me. Whats the underside look like now?

Spotted an issue though. The "66" part of the registry is messed up especially the first "6". And it looks like the "S" in "MASON" aswell.
All hail the messiah!

Yes, looks disorted somehow.

hmm, wonder how it would looks like, when the saucer is flipped by 180? without the bridge (for another variant, of course).
