Starting to look good sir.

:)

Kinda reminds me of a tank from FASA's old game Renegade Legion.

Looks good!

I thought it looked a bit like this fighter but after looking at the GWOM shots, they don't look very similar. In fact, now that I look at this more closely, this one looks like a stretched out TIE fighter with the ball cockpit replaced by a Viper cockpit. I'm sure Richard did this so he could reuse the Viper cockpit mockup he had made for Second Coming.

I've pretty well finished the modeling except for the pod connections. They'll go into the slots on the sides. I intended the pods to be rigged so the pilot can jettison them if he's fired everything on them and still in combat.

Here's the dreaded gray renderings. (These are dreaded for the modeler because you can see all the flaws in modeling this way).

This gives me two models now I need to texture, the other being the AB Raider.

Thanks all for the feedback. I found it very useful while working on this.



Sandy

Looks cool TBC

Thanks.

Here's a couple more. Then I'll stop bugging you guys with this one until its painted.

Sandy -

You're not bugging us in the least. It's rare that someone asks for input on unfinished work. There are some that would just say "Here it is, like it and if not, shut the hell up".

I'm not a CGI savy person, so it's a rare treat to see the work in it's various stages. I appeciate the opportunity very much.

Thanks for including us in the process...

Best always,
Bryan

Sandy,

I'm like Bryan, just a member of the viewing audience and trying to get up to speed on this discussion about things like polys, renders, textures, etc....

Nice work, though, it was a pleasure seeing this effort from the ground up.



Care for a cup of coffee? :D


Pete

:)

Looking really really good. Keep up the good work!

Always looking for a good cup of coffee.

Thanks for the kind words of support.

I'm always open (and looking) for feedback. Sometimes I ignore it but I always find it useful. It also pushes me which is a good thing. Peter has been one of my key critics and kept me on track for several works when I was ready to say "To Hell with it, its good enough".


Sandy

Very cool, I like how it's evolved and the smaller engines make much more sense. I like that there are 3 too, it didn't look quite right with 2.

Actually this is really growing on me.

This could easily fall into the Star Wars world as well. I mean some of the stuff i seen in the ROTS didn't even look like it could fly.

:)

Sandy,

I think it's the best thing you've ever done, you can see how much far you've come even in the brief time I've known you.

I even like the grey shots. These ones I like because they always look like an unpainted plastic model kit!

Peter

That's a very cool looking ship. Looking down on it in the grey renders, the shape reminds of me of the "head" portion of the original Galactica model a little.

Nice work :thumbsup:

Thanks again.

Peter,

My favorite model is always the one I'm working on at the time.

I was pretty rusty doing this one. There's a couple others than I really wanted to shine so this one was my "getting back up to speed" model. Honestly, I think I need do whip out a couple more before I'm ready to tackle the big payoff models.


Sandy

I am about to start my first model in Lightwave :/: so keep the updates coming TBC
they are inspiring me to get started :salute:

Taranis,

How's that model coming along?

Sandy

I know what this makes me think of--A space-borne A-10 Thunderbolt

Fighter
 

Very Nice Ship

Wow, I guess I missed this ship, awesome mesh !
hey Sandy you got an update on this model?
Santee

Nope. I haven't touched it. I need to get this and the AB Raider finished. I probably won't get back to etiher until next year.
