Hey Erin. I like it a lot. You did a great job sculpting the saucer. I
always liked the elongated hull on Voyager. I really admire your courage in
tackling the general Star Trek shape. Its gotta be a nightmare getting
everything stable and balanced. I'd love to add this to the Shipyard if
its alright with you. It won't be for a week or so because I'm busy with
some other projects. (Adrian, Rick and Trevor: you're in line too.)
Keep up the good work. I like revisions a lot. Sometimes I just want to
build the same ship for weeks and just revise certain aspects of it here and
there.
