No... dead space between my ears.

Space on several HDs that is dedicated to holding various pics of CGI ship views. I know for a fact that I have thousands of pics just of the views.

No time, I'm afraid. I have Max 6 or 8 but have just brushed the surface of it.
Too many other irons in the fire, important irons... well, metephorically I mean. There really isn't any... fire... or... irons...

Are you Steve, from over at Renderocity? I've seen your avitar pic by someone over there?!

Thanks
Some are my own, some from the series and some are fleshed out models of Todd Boyce's designs. All the meshes are available to anyone who would like to play

I have many schematics on various hard-drives and just have to get them to the web folders so they can be shared with all.

Thanks for fixing the link... I've very much been enjoying the schematics that you've been posting - they're wonderfully done.

It's really got be wishing there were decent models around of the Rising Star or the Prison Barge - two of my favourite fleet ships from the old series.

I'll definitely be looking forward to seeing your website when you get it finished as well - if there's to be more material like this on it, it will be a very useful resource.

Cheers!

Thank-you for your kind words.
I have a few sources to get these views from and so far no one I know has those two or the two mentioned earlier. I am also looking for the original shuttle, if anyone has one or views of one, and the COlonial Land-ram thingy.

Oh, wouldn't it be cool to see a land-ram souped up like we trick out our classic cars?! Flames... chrome... 16" mags with spinners... ?

I would love to see, please.

If someone would email me with views (SW or Don) I'd be able to move along to the next ship schematic and meet the public's just outcry. <repeat with dramatic tone>

As far as I know Don and Darrell are the only ones that could do that, offer them a bribe
I would love to see both in Sch form

I have nothing to bribe...

LOL Any non-lazy person with a computer and a typical paint program can do what I am doing. That's why I don't charge; That's why I just started putting these things on a site a few weeks ago so people could download them...

Really...so you think I need to charge people then, Steve?

I'm only kidding. It is such a small part of what I do that I just don't count the time. Actually it is really down-time... the way I relax from what I normally do as an artist/tech engineer. Plus it keeps the skills sharp.

I understand I have been an E/M designer for many years and 3D modeling is an obsession with me, if I could afford it I would do it for nothing
