Texturing is not completed. Yes, there will be more detail. For one thing, that big bird that should be painted on the underside! *LOL*
I'm not sure about the Bussards. It's really kind of impossible to tell on screen. And I've seen one color picture of the model, but, in it, the Bussards are just clear, not even lit up. If they are normal Bussards, I would expect them to be red. However, they don't necessarily have to be Bussards. The dialogue in "Balance of Terror" suggests that the nacelles aren't even nacelles (Scotty says "Their power is simple impulse."). Personally, however, I think that's BS. I like to think he was saying that they use fusion reactions instead of matter/anitmatter annihilation. But, then, I'm digressing... :-)
Thanks for the compliments, all. I'll post some more when/if I get the textures done...

Well-done. I am not sure if the front tips (Bussard collectors?) of what I also think is a warp drive are red. The Fact Files say they are blue.

If anything, I think the bussards should be a bluish-green, or whatever color the bussards are on the D'Deriex-class warbirds. I read in TPOF that when the BoP's were in use, the Romulans only had a primitive form of the quantum singularity drive. The primitive singularities could only power the ships one way to their destination then collapsed, effectively standing the ships and crew out on impulse power.
