For those interested, I'll stick the model up for download on my site sometime this week when I do my update. The decals and markings were made by Reverend, and there'll probably be a couple of spare sets to show different ships and organisations by that time, he likes to give people choices.

Ah, it's finally done...until I design the interior that is.
Excellent work as always of course! But now come the inevitable note *dramatic chord*. First off I think you've made the engines a little too visible. I think the effect I'm after is similar to the light sources you had on the IAV-106's impulse drive, but with the 'spots' merging into a stripe and just with the barest hint of an underlying mechanism, so try increasing the opacity to about 80 or 90%. Also the smaller 'nozzles' at the top should be ignited too. Now that I look at it, just how much of the engine block did you model? I can't make out anything except the nozzles and they were supposed to be buried inside
Secondly the manual door handles; is it my imagination or have you mapped those on there?
Thirdly that round shape on the aft door should be a very low dome instead of just a raised circle.
Finally, with the blue vents at the back it looks like you've either mapped it on or it's lacking the little half covers thingies. Ok, that's not very clear...think those metal air vent covers you get in buildings, that direct the airflow down instead of straight ahead.
I was actually going to post this criticism at TrekBBS, but somehow this board feels more...comfortable.

If they are no longer warp nacelles, then what would they be? Deuterium tanks for the impulse engines? Or just a step for getting in and out of the shuttle?
