I have really dug this ship since the new BSG came out. A lot of complicated lines and geometry, and you've done a great job bringing her to 2D life.
Any chance we'll get other views of her?

Right down to the concrete flooing, if you look closely. One wonders if their colonial transports often lose rudder control and smash into private yacht docks.

I suspected they'd used a ferry for the cargo hold when I saw the mini-series. It seamed far to real to be a set. I have to wonder though, where on the exterior is there a door big enough to allow a viper to enter?

Thanks for the comments, guys. At this time, I'm not really planning on doing any other views. If anything, I would only do a top view, but the other views just don't look good.
@OnToMars: The graphic on the front end is the Intersun logo, which is a stylized Pegasus head and wings. The word "Intersun" is in the overly lengthened wings.

I spent a good five minutes scrutinizing the picture Mark linked to, trying to match up features between the real ship and Colonial One, until I finally realized that he was probably talking about the inside of the cargo deck.

You're joking, right? :-)
Actually while watching Space Cadets a few years ago I had a similar "no brainer" moment. They had this thing on the show where they would go into the commercial break and leave viewers with a question. On one occasion they showed pictures of two actors and asked which film connected them. They showed a picture of Ben Kingsley and a picture of Michael Madsen - the answer, obviously, being Species.
Except.....the picture they used for Ben Kingsley was one when he was in Gandhi, so I spent (and I swear I am this stupid) an entire commercial break trying to work out what the hell film could possibly ever have linked Mohandas Gandhi to Michael bloody Madsen.
I still remember being alone in my room blushng with embarassment after that commercial break. So don't feel too bad about the cargo deck!
