Post the problem up here. If you get an e-mail address you can only have one of us help you. Post the problem and we can all look at it :)

If chatting still won't help then I'm sure someone will be willing to help.

In the meantime take a look at the modding section of my FAQ. There are links to a large number of tutorials in there and hopefully one of them should be some help.

The basic shape is there but it needs a hell of a lot more rounding.

there are some useless edges, which just increase pcount without adding anything to the geometry.
Also, the model isn't stable and some faces will not be rendered in the vanilla FS2.
I see there also are many interscetion.
You know that they'll work only with FSO, and not vanilla FS2, ya? Also, when an object is connected to another with some edges, but they intersect each other with some other edges there could be problems.
Moreover, when 2 edges share the same position (so that you see only one edge when they are infact 2 or more) there could be problems, unless you triangulize.
I'm referring to the nose: the diagonal top object intersect the main hull but seem connected in the front: If it is connected you'll probably have problems, if it isn't connected then you have overlapping edges and you may have problems if you don't triangulize that area.

First picture is from 3D Studio Max
Second is from Truespace 3.2
I must give here one more picture from Truespace  

In 3D Studio Max I stopped work on it and now I work on it in Truespace because I didn't find some convertor from 3D Studio to cob.file.  

Problem with this model is in FRED I klick New ship\terran  and GTVCa Nemesis than I klick CTRL and mouse button and I got error message that Mistake is in FRED.exe and if I want to send this mistake to Windows server or somewhere or don't send this mistake.  Hmmm If somebody want I can send him .cob file of Nemesis and he can tell me where I made mistake(s).

Thank you :)

Sounds more like a table error. Are you aware of the table system  and what you need to do with em ?

Needs new textures...
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

If you want it to look like the Prometheus, you may want some reference pics.

OOOh no way. I didnt mean to take credit for it if I seemed to. I can't model worth sh*t. :D  I found those pictures while I was doing research for the Stargate: Earth's Defense mod. The author's site is here. He's got some good stuff there. Nice death gliders, wraith darts, puddlejumpers, even a ha'tak but he took it down for some reason.

Those textures absolutely kill your model. Which is a good model. Just with bad textures.
