Been feeling like my modeling hiatus is going to be a short one anyway...having dreams about the Stargazer, lol. 
Think that means I need to make it huh?

One slight problem though...only has one pylon and nacelle. I would mirror it and go from there, but wanted to chk with you 1st, as the polie count with the one is at 4958, and that will throw it over 5000.
Sweet mesh, though.

Does MS3D have a boolean function? If so, you might want to re-build and boolean the parts when you put them together. That's what I'm trying to do, but it's time consuming, selecting the parts and detaching them, then making sure it's the part you want and so on.How about a name and registry? I can start mapping it and such while I'm trimming, and start making the textures.
Let me know.

Mirrored the pylon and nacelle and now the thing is coming in at 10540 polies!
Really I got a total of 5362 polies
I will email that one to you ok
As for the name this is whats on the old SFC1 kit bash:
UFPF Challenger, OVL-91951-L
But its original Name and Registriy are : USS Peleliu, NCC-1859
so I guess the first one
as it is after its "refit"

EDIT:OK, here's the pic so you can see what I mean.

I can think of only 2 common problems:
-From the looks of things, somewhere in the conversion process, it's getting set to 'double sided'. To check for that, zoom to inside the model and if you can't see anything but polygons, then that's the case (Normal one sided meshes would look invisible from the inside). There should be a setting in 3dx that lets you change to/from double sided.
-Either that's the case or when you mirrored the pylon/nacelles, you also mirrored the entire ship with it. The only swift way to fix that is to start over from the original and hope it doesn't happen again.

I've cut the polies down to around 8500 from 10100, and I'm starting on the textures. Do you want this as a Heavy Cruiser, Light Cruiser, Frigate??? I'm going with the USS PELELIU NCC-1859 for the registry if that's ok? Should have some pics to post later tonight.
