Wel, I'm not done yet. Still working on the rigging. The only real rigging will be the guns and steering controls. Everything else will be done through morphs, which will be the next step.
Here's the first test render of the partially rigged ship:

Very nice!
I leave my version of Hexagon in its default "cm" unit scale, and model the ship in whatever physical size the drawing comes in. So if it turns out the deckplan is roughly 8 inches long, then my model of the ship is roughly 8 inches long.
After the outside of the ship is modeled, I don't need the drawing anymore, and I can then re-size the model to 54.3. I still leave the units in "cm". I never change the units in any of my apps. Things just work better that way, since I transfer models as OBJ back and forth between them. No matter what app I load the model into, the length of it will be 54.3.
When I get around to rendering, I can then put feet or meters or miles or whatever after the 54.3 value, so that the atmosphere and lighting scale is correct with the imported object.
Very nice. I hope to make spaceships to using Hexagon.
Looks awesome...Superb modeling....
This is amazing, is this available for download anywhere?
Nope. Technically, it's still not "finished". It works, for the most part, but there are a lot of things that could be improved, and the rigging, in particular could be better, but that's currently beyond my skill set.
I wrote an article for 3D world a long time ago about modeling a spaceship in Hexagon. It was pretty simple modeling, beginner level. It had another double page spread and a 70 minute video showing the modeling in realtime. Main reason I show this is to suggest you create a uv map for the exterior it in hexagon and texure it. Could really add a lot and helps to show scale. Looking good though.

Here's link to a larger render done in Carrara
Actually, that's already done. The whole thing is texture mapped, and it was not easy.
Let me thank you Patrick210 for the article and tutorial. I remember buying the magazine and getting a copy of Hexagon to try out. The video was very helpful.
That JPEG is way too low poly to read. If it were a PDF, and/or higher rezolution, it would be much more useful.
Here's the pdf of the whole article.
