I thought I would share this with the community. As a general rule, I don't care for reproducing models from movies, but everyone has to start somewhere.
I started this back in 2005 using a copy of gmax. In 2007, I purchased a student edition of 3ds max 9 and reworked the model from scratch. Back then I didn't have a good handling on greebles and do-dads to add depth my works thus the work is a bit spartan. I reworked the materials in late 2009 and moved the model away from a faithful replica of reference material.

Thanks. I hadn't considered it. I have a few textured models, but they were really difficult to work with. I'm good with uvw maps, but I lack the skills in the 2d applications to make textures easily.
