Well the fact someone guest it in one means he half resembles V'ger.

He didn't draw that picture.  That was found Starship Dimensions.  It's probably the only good side-view reference pic.

Oh, now you've dissapointed me. Mind you, I don't care that much so drinks all around! As to how the funny 3d tube is some part of V'ger, that'll continue to amaze me.

The textures look really stretched and distorted on the fins.

I'm still learning uv unrapping. they look like stars, not sure which shape to switch them to to improve the textures.
