Wow...that really is an AWESOME model and especially since you are so new to Maya! user added image

I really like the Eclipse model so far! user added image

The colors kind of look like it is supposed to be a race car! You should put it on some race track or something, that would look so awesome!! user added image

Well I assume you did a poly smooth on the object right? And you still have the history right? if so then go back and turn the poly smooth divisions option to 0 and that will do it.

My sugestion is to allways use CPS (connect poly shape) cos you allways can go from smooth version to low poly, and cos you are working on low poly and watch it in smoothed version, i think there is tutorial here in free section about CPS!!! Whatch it cos its greate for polys!!

Best resolt would come, if every one in the group are doing what is best for himself and the group!!

CPS is similar to sub-d or using poly proxy, where you use a low poly cage for modeling but the actual object shows the smoothed changes.

If there's still a history, you could get rid of the smoothing that way...or if there's a smooth node in the hypergraph, you could probably delete it.
