About 12 hours of 3D-modelling (Primitives & Polygons. No sculpting or something) & 5 minutes of rendering

That flying thingy is about 10 percent done. Maybe less, then 10 percent.

Not Yet.

It doesn't have any other geometric detail, too -- just the stuff on the render
( The engines are in progress ).

But it will use procedural textures, as all of my other models do, so you can check out my gallery an see what it will be like

VERY awesome I can't wait to see it! Do you know of any good resources for texturing? I fire up UVW Mapping and my brain turns to mush...sucks cause I have all these ideas of materials I want to make, but nooo idea how to do it

Sorry, can't help you with that.

I'm no good with UV's myself. The techniques I use don't require UV mapping at all, but are good for still "showcase" - style renders.

So, actually, texturing of my models ain't good, but with much geometry detail it doesn't show much

Nope.

I like high-poly modelling.

Plus lo-poly will require good texture artist too look nice, which i am not

np...I would love to see the final output of this model! adding you in my watchlist.

When creating plating, I punched round "holes" in the polygons facing outwards with cylinder shape on a background layer using "solid drill" with "stencil" setting. That divided the polygon into multi-vertex "round" polygon & a concave polygon around it. The cylinder was aligned so it was perpendicular to the divided polygon.

When done all plates, I selected all of "round" polygons (I assigned temporary material to them, so it was done in two clicks) & beveled them all at once using polygon bevel.

Names of the tools may be different in your software.

That might be not the best solution 'cause it makes pretty difficult to texture usig UV maps, but since I use procedural texturing, that's not a very big issue for me.

It's a pity, my vacation is almost over -- so further progress will be very, very much slower

I know how that goes. One of my projects was delayed for 3 months because of overtime on my workplace

Best of luck with your future projects
