newman, Aresius and Infinity238,

Thank you for quick and/or useful responses.
Yeah, I understood the situation and will update size comparisons in a few days.

As of now, I'm wondering... how long did those images take to render, and on what hardware/software?...
It took about 1 hour to render (with middle level anti-aliasing and radiosity on) the first image of this thread.
Software: LightWave3D 8.2 on WindowsXP
PC: Pentium4 3GHz, 768MB mem. (made 4 years ago...)

It's always difficult to decide a name of a original vessel...in this time, I wanted to give some strange and unused name to her.

It looks like a little plastic model you can just grab and start painting!! Its SO awesome!! And I like the model too in this case!

Thank you for encouradging comments. I wanted to design heavily armored vessel which had functional and kinda funny appearance. I feel that she may not be bad...
btw, I also remember TOS GALACTICA in an early stage of her modeling...
