Uh? What standard? That´s the Roger Young. If it was an original model, then maybe.
The thing is, most models here are made with FS in mind, wich means that uber detailed ships like that could never be used. So why would anyone go the extra length to detail a model that he/she knows could not use on anything, and would just sit and colect dust on some HDD?
Get FS up to speed poly capacity wise, and i´m sure many models that would put that one to shame will appear. Untill then, we can´t hardly expect anyone to present such a detailed work while keeping it under FS poly standards. It´s just not possible.
As for the model itself, the nose greebling is practically useless. It´s only noticeble if you zoom in on the nose. Bring the camera back, and the detail vanishes. And this is without textures. Imagine it with textures... That detail could have been easelly done with bump-mapping, and those precious polys could be better spent elsewhere.
Still, the Roger Young is one of the best looking ships ever to come out of sci-fi. It´s my all time favourite.
