Thanks all. Your words make the work all worthwhile. Now if I could only find enough time to learn to make models or atleast kitbash. Speaking of kitbashing, I do have a request to make btw. I would like to make a FJ TMP fleet with these textures. If someone would'nt mind taking the time to kitbash a Saladin, Ptolemy and Federation class from Khaliban's model, I would be much obliged.

Done deal. I'll start a WIP thread in the next couple days for the Excelsior, Lakota and the 3 I mentioned.

You know, when I first saw this, I thought, "damn, that's beautiful, but it doesn't match any of the other models."  Now I'll be able to have an entire TMP fleet that matches.  Thank you!

What about WZ's ships?  I use his TMP Ptolemy.  He has pretty much all the ship classes, and then some.  What's his policy on fiddling with his models?

Oh, and don't forget the Miranda.  It was conspicuously absent from your list.

Did Khaliban ever make a Miranda? Im getting really tired of p81's since its optimized and the wireframes are ugly.

I like WZ's ships. Thing about retexing them is that there are so many individual textures to do, which makes it more of a pain to line everything up and scale correctly. I'm not opposed to retexing his stuff, but IMO it would be faster to kitbash the khaliban model into the others rather than retex another set to look exactly the same.

I wish I could kitbash so I could do it. But hey. Since you brought it up, wanna volunteer to do the miranda too? ;D
