That must've been a while in the making. Thanks for the file and links.

I started on a bicubic_patch Space Shuttle but I might never get it even
halfway done before giving up on it forever. The basic shape shouldn't be
difficult, just that there's a lot to those things. I'm not using a modeller
for the simple reason I'm not good at using them.

I went looking for a premade model just now and came across yours right
away, even though I wasn't trying to find a POV-specific model. Another
thing I found looks rather interesting, in fact very interesting to me, but
I have no idea what it is really like until I try it. It's a free
spaceflight simulator with models of the shuttle available for it.
