glad you like it.
@ confed: it depends.
usually about a day for the mesh and a day or two for the skin.
you have to consider, though, that for nexus, all turrets need to be seperate objects, so they have their own model and high poly version for skinning and so on.
i'm working a lot with templates for the skins, e.g. pieces of a hangar deck or tubings and stuff. since i have it all for the confeds, it's a pretty fast job for them. for the kilrathi, i still have to create most templates
