    So I absolutely cheated, I took the blender model I made and played with the wireframe settings following as youtube tutorial I found :D If you set it to minimum it largely just follows the hard edges, and then it just needed tweaking and compositing in photoshop

    Hey whatever works as long as it turns out looking good in the end! :)

    Ages ago, I would draw them by hand in ACAD, but nowadays, I use Rhino's Make2D command. Creates near perfect schematics! Then it's just a matter of copying and pasting them into PaintShop Pro.

    I wonder if there is a way of doing something similar to your method in Modo. Have to research that.

    Keep up the great work!

    Really, really nice. I like the first version the best.

    What program did you use to draw these if I may ask?

    Nice, will there still be textures on it?

    I can do the modelling job pretty well, but I´m almost a newbie in the texturing job. :s

    Same here, I ran into the same brick wall with my TacFleet ships way back when. :eyeroll:

    Cool upgrade on a classic design, btw.

    The only differences are the HDRI maps. I think the first one was "Gathering Storm" while the other was "Machine Shop".

    Ah, I see. Interesting, same material but like night and day.

    Every since I've been applying more materials to my models, I've been using outdoor HDRI's instead of the distant lights used in my earlier renders. I still add some additional lights as necessary when I want to highlight some smaller details.

    Recently I changed the HDRI to one with a light probe called Japan Blossom which gives the models a more moody look compared to the previous one.

    Just curious. When you build your starships, do you give them this chrome material just for a bit of artistic flare or is this how you think they should look in your minds eye?

    They kind of remind me of Hallmark special edition models that I've seen in the past.....which is meant as a sort of compliment. :)

    Edit: I see that you mentioned toning down the chrome effect somewhat, but it's still nice and shiny and cool looking.
