First rough shaping in Sketchup.

One paper model problem with Farscape, and I loved the show... is that many of the ships were either full of complex curves (difficult in paper, though not impossible), like Moira and Talon, or sometimes not all that interesting, like most of the other ships. Props might be more special - i...

What OS are you using? What graphics format are you working in? For Apple Mac I suggest "Graphic Converter" as the best. Working in TIFF is a memory hog but gives the least loss, but PNG gives a good result with less intense memory needs. Avoid JPG. In the end, I agree with Niebla de Fuego...
