W.i.P. Huron

Description

I've always had a fondness for the few Federation ships we saw in TOS and TAS that fill the other essential roles in Star Fleet and in the civilian UFP. The U.S.S. Huron from the TAS episode "The Pirates of Orion" is a prime example, and, as very few people have modeled it, I decided to have a go at it.
The project started several months ago, and has been proceeding in fits and starts, with lots of consultation with my friend Arcass. Its finally reached a point at which I wanted to show a w.i.p. to get some community input.
The paint scheme on her right now has its origins in Masao Okazaki's Starfleet Museum site, and his paint schemes for Federation Freighters. When it comes time to release her into the wild, I'll include this paint scheme as well as the one we saw in "The Pirates of Orion"
I realize that most drawings of the Huron show it with cylindrical nacelles, as opposed to these tapering one. That was an esthetic call-I just feel the tapering nacelles look better with the design.
Modeled in Lightwave 8 and 10, rendered in Lightwave 10. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks for taking a look!
-Tom
