I really like how you are using the contour of the mesh and building the texture around it, instead of trying to hide the angular sides of the "saucer" portion. Nicely executed!

Absolutely Stunning Craftsmanship Akami   :thumbsup:

Really love the "windows" !!!! So it looks like this has may 3-5 decks?  Very, Very nice is all I can say.  I've only just recently started to learn Milkshape and I really appreciate the talent out there

Cheers

Kinda bears a resemblance to a Dominion cruise a bit doesn't it?

Nice work, I like the ship but one itty, bitty nitpick, hardly worth mentioning: aren't impulse drives supposed to be red?

If you'll notice, the Akira's impulse engines are somewhat orange.

Only one observation, the windows. They look (closely) like you are looking at the deck from the side. So when you see stations it appears that the crew would be like standing on a wall 90 degress off since you are mostly looking down into the window from above. Not a biggie, but I thought I would point that out on this work of art... :D

BTW they look fine blue to me, I thought they might be a diff type of impulse maybe like ion I've heard mentioned?



[EDIT]  Guess what, I confused you for AKAMI (or is that vice versa?).. Thought I PM'ed him about the Vigilant and not you. So disregard that part about "not knowing if I approached you before" in my latest PM  LOL!!!!   

speaking of whch... my main mail is Getter_Robo_G_2004@yahoo.com  you were gonna send it to me in .3ds format (no rush though just a reminder)... :D

How's the ankle doing?

I don't mind the Blue Impulse either, but I think it would be nice to have Red or Orange Impulse Engine .bmp's for people that want that color.
