I like the ship! I'm guessing it's either a Battleship or Colony ship. The shade of red is well picked, dark enough to give it Mass and bright enough to show some detail.

Yup, I like it! I really do!

Cheers!

Beleive me its a lot harder to make one of these things than you might imagine.

The odd shapes of the Ferengi ships is going to be difficult to copy in any great detail. I can touch it up with PSP or in paint, but overall, I think I can pull it off.

(This is an older Version, newer one looks a bit more real.)

it does resemble the Ferengi ships. If your trying to make it really look like one, maybe a longer "neck" and smaller "horns". I still think it looks good.

And as I have no artistic talent at all, I can imagine how hard it is to make that.

It looks like it's made of highly polished wood, similar to the color and texture of an oak table. It really doesn't look like a ship, but I don't know what it looks like ... something old-fashioned, as if it's a rare antique belonging in a museum display. It's a very unusual and unique design. The 'wood' look combined with the shiny polished texture is quite remarkable.

The first thing that popped into my head was "It is a Ferengi...". The second thing was "...Teapot".

Very respectfully, I think it needs a little work. It needs some refinement to be placed on the same shelf as some of your other awesome shipsets.

Nice work indeed.
But I agree with some of the other comments that maybe lose some of the boxy look to it. Make it a bit more round and it will improve it by alot. When I first saw it first thing in my mind was ferengi as well. But as was said too the "horns" do attract alot of attention when you look at it.

But all in all very nice.
