I just finished modelling my first original space ship......I was going for a retro 1950s-look..... The hull was modelled using Anim8or, a great program for people like me who find it difficult to fathom more complex 3D programs......I put it all together in Poser and assigned materials to separate details....amazing what you can do in Poser considering it is really not a modelling program...... Let me know what you think! Krel
