How about a pic of this model? If it strkes someone's fancy, they might offer to at least UV map it.

Well I don't have the model yet...

well, if youre learning texturing and dont have a model, then retexturing existing ships a good way to learn. thats why i did the ulysses retexture way back in the day. if your learning both texturing and modeling, its generally a good idea to go all the way, make a model, uv it, and then texture it then the finished product is completely yours, and it will inspire you to do others.
