Meshula: thanks
It is really synergistic that the stuff over at the other site would happen just as i finish this piece. It was gor the 3dg anyway so i decided to bring it here first.

funny you should mention the glow. I have been toying arounf with A way to make the busards glow but i have not found a sutable solution in MAX. In trueSpace which is my primary software i had sort of a solution but it does not look as nice as a for real glow.
Masao: Thanks too When SeanP built her for me he used his ertl kit lettering for the hull lettering so yeah you are right

I am working on texturing her for both MAX and tS so i will prolly wind up changing the font soon.
I was wondering about the spacedock too.
I asked Warrior and am waiting for a reply.
What i figured was that a structure as big as it is would have to have at least been underconstrction during the time when Sojourner went into service (around 2267)
