Been awile since I've been in the naighborhood, but I'm liking what I've seen here lately. That includes your re-tex of the Achilies, darker is definately better, it really pulls out the details in the texure. As for re-mapping it, it should be rather easy on this ship since it seems to be made up of rather simple geomatry. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see it finished.
