Thanks guys. I am working on the signage, I have the Jefferies versions of the symbol done but have yet to figure on lettering. I have thought about 'toning down' the details on the forward section but overall the ship is done.
The planet was something I whipped up in about 5 minutes after looking at Tachys psuedo tutorial at SF-A. I have been working variations to come up with a process and material for planets. I realize the detail at close range is not very good - but when was a TOS planet anything more than a) multi-hued splotches or b) a globe with no clouds.
I do want the detail to be better at close range and am scouring around for textures that can be used. Thanks for the link - it seems to be having problems at the moment (sql errors) but I have detailed earth / moon textures. I was trying to create something that is not an earth hybrid.
