The SFC2ED program works for viewing the images, but I havn't been able to get it to either zoom out or scale down the size of the ships. The m6 file is what I believe is the msMODimporter for the Milk Shape 3D program (shareware $20), it needs to be placed in the milkshape directory, along with using the milk shape ms3dsdk utility witch will allow importing of MOD files. Havn't been able to get this to work yet - keep getting an error. If you have access to 3D Max, Taldren has released a plug in for it that allows importing of MOD files, which would be the best option. The SCME utility will extract the shape of the ship from the MOD file into a lightwave format, but does not keep the bmp/pcx maps attached to the shape so yo get an all gray image.

So far, I have had the best luck just assigning the desired ship image to the fed. frigate, and taking screenshots in the scrimish games using the camera angle and zoom to get the size and angle, with my scanner software to adjust the size, and paint to clean up the background. If you happen to get the Milkshape/m6 combination working let me know though - it would be a lot easier.
