Not bad. I like the open Cargo bay and lowered cargo elevators. I'd like the saucer damage better if we could see some interior detail.. like the decks and corridors and such.

i think that the saucer damage is representing where new segments are being installed, so there hasn't beem much more than bulkheads and skeletal structure installed yet.

Challenger was the ship that LaForge was captain of in some time travel episode of Voyager. it was damaged in the dominion war, i'm sure. the only things i don't like about his models are how he painted the Galaxy class deflector dishes, and the fact that the E-E's dish is the wrong color. otherwise, they are really great models.

he does a very subtle Aztec pattern, actually, at least on some models. i just dislike the colors in the deflector dish.

Subtle aztecing is much prefered to those of us that go for the "on screen" look.

Stephen just added a fantastic new model! The DS9 Kit Bash USS Yeager. Amazing to see that pitiful design made to look cool with a better model!

wow. that model does looks extremely, extremely nice. definitely very, very well done. too bad the design is pure shit. his Prometheus also looks great. from these photos, i think the kit bash he did looks better than the Warp Kit, though the deflector shape (since it came from the E-D) isn't quite right.

Ah but the thing is with the ent-d model is that the pattern is already there so it would be pretty criminal for you not to do it. i'm currently painting mine and its the first model i've aztec'd. other models dont have the aztec pattern on it so most people, sound effect and myself included, dont do them for every model.
