So, I do some 3d modeling (I'm self taught), though I can't seem to ever complete my models because I keep hitting the polygon limit on this crappy old computer. I haven't learned UVW mapping either, so lol.
http://i56.tinypic.com/xlba12.jpgThis is my latest 3d model, done in 3ds Max and rendered with Mental Ray. The greebles are a modifier applied to selected polygons. I probably won't be going further than this until I upgrade my computer, which is still tentative. I've removed the greeble modifier to try and squeeze in modeled exhausts and turrets, but no luck.
She is a 3d model of the warship my characters in my book project command. In universe, she is the CFS
S'vas Armestya, designation SVN-07SVA. She is 7 kilometers long, crewed by a hundred thousand, and is the most powerful warship in the Confederacy of Free Stars Navy.
The SVN designation stands for Sovereign, which is the CFS Navy term for Dreadnought.

Smallest to largest, they are Battleship, Destroyer, and Frigate. Currently, their only similarity is the forked bow, thought the newer generation's is forked horizontally, while the older ones are forked vertically.
So enjoy! And what else can I do with these?
