In January 2014, I
posted Coronado's first exploratory WIP images. At the time, I said I aimed to be render-complete by August of that year. I...may have missed that target by a little. Completing this model has been a labor of love spanning over seven years. Not seven continuous years of working away at it. There were lots of long gaps where I didn't work on it at all. But, at last, I'm calling her done. Lots of background details available in
the WIP thread (which I still need to make a final update post in!) for anybody curious.

The bay interiors are unfinished right now, because I don't have any particular plans for them, but it shouldn't be too hard to finish them properly if I get the urge to do so. The black "tarmac" areas on both the Specter and upper bays are meant to extend into them, for reference; that jarring shift from dark to light is just a byproduct of the unfinished interior textures.

Special note: the balance of window visibility and other emissive surface brightness in full direct sunlight is not intended to match what we normally see on the TV shows and in the movies, but rather what you might actually see if looking at this ship. You rarely see illuminated rooms in buildings or on cruise ships in broad daylight, for example.
