(Sorry I am a bit melodramatic at times) snicker - Detach the saucer from the rest of the ship so its seperate. Take a render from above like you did for the entire ship, only with just the saucer. Do a printscreen of said render. Cut out just around the saucer and paste this saucer into a 512 by 512 bitmap so the saucer just fits into it. Then sharpen the pic to regain some of the quality you lose from copy, paste and resizing the saucer image. Its a slight drop in quality, not too bad. You will more then make up for it in windows and registy.Step2- Remap your saucer top to this bitmap. You may need to regoup the saucer into top and bottom if not done already. You can now add in windows to this map, also registry and it will not be stretched at all.If you dont have PSP. Resizing, cut, paste, sharping can all be done with Irfanview. A free utility- try a search on the web. I hope its still available somewheres.This technique I came up with though its probably not unique or anything. Patent pending j/kAnyways sharpening would help the saucer, its just a tad blurry unless thats from the photo getting resized.QaplaThat's a good idea....And it may just work well...lolThanks mate!!!

Exelent ship, indeed. I have read about the Interpid and really like this theory on her design.You think that you can try your hand at one of the Vulcan science cruisers that have only been done in low poly models so far next? Would be interesting to see them done by such a talented hand.
look at the bottom one.....hmmm.....
