The bashing of that model was relatively quick, given that the two models I used shared many of the same components and those shared components were the same size, so size ratio was taken care of instantly.
All I did was swap out one pair of pylons with another, and repositioned the pylons and warp engines till they looked right, and since GAFY had already done those incredible textures for some Connies, dropping his textures onto the model was a piece of cake. Just needed a couple texture fixes which only GAFY could provide.
However, I am having problems trying to finish the pylon texture he gave me. Since I can't texture and don't know the first thing about texturing, it's gonna be an extremely long while before I ever get it done.
Also, I'm thinking about just using the ship for renders and such, and who knows, maybe one day use it as a testbed for remapping.
