I'm making a mod called Threshold which adds a giant, inter-dimensional macro-virus "living ship" race to Sins Diplomacy (and Rebellion next) that only has a single capital ship and identical frigates which are unable to move freely in gravity wells.

A complimentary mini-mod (which can be used alone or with Threshold) is named the Cargo Cult and introduces a non-player race based on Japanese descended space faring nomads allied with sentient AI's (I know--it sounds silly--but there's a reason) that worship exploration and science.  The race allows random encounters in Sins and does not use weapons but aids nearby ships or grants capital ships experience by ejecting destructible cargo pods when ships approach.

These two mods add a total of five new ships (and a small textured part)--for which I already have completed models and usable meshes.  Two of the five models I have already textured myself.  The remaining three I'd like to offer to someone for texturing as my work schedule has been crazy and it would save me the time of having to learn Sins texturing in detail and let me keep working on the rest of the mods.

This is an invitation for someone who enjoys texturing.  Don't offer if it's a chore or imposition for you--just if you actually enjoy doing it.

Sins texturing is my weakest area (I just don't have the hang of the conversions yet) and I work to much to sit down and spend a lot of time on this.  I can start releasing mod betas soon but would love to have the textured ships in first.

If you might want to do it for the fun of it, I'm happy to credit you in the mods for your work and you also can frely use the models I made and the textures you create however you want as well.

No need to make yourself obligated here--I've loaded the models up and you can download them freely for any use you like.  The models are grouped OBJ files but if you need a different format I can convert them for you any way that is helpful.  I'll have full XSI models ready soon after a few tweaks over the next couple of days as well if you need them.

The models are grouped already with placeholder textures applied just to help get started but they can be done any creative way anyone likes.  I'll have a mod page up for both mods within the next week (I'm working from 5am to 10pm most of this week for an example of my schedule).

As a return offer, I love making models just for fun and can convert them to about any format you need.  If you need something and like what I have done, I'm happy to work on things for you as well.

So if it sounds like something fun to do.  Jump in, pm me if you like. Any modder may have use of the models as well--credit appreciated if so used.

Here is a link to the zip archive online of the models. Below are images of the three models (two capital ships and a cargo pod-frigate...plus the small separate piece).
