Great start. As with the other stuff you develop.......I'll look forwards to seeing how it progresses.......

[gmd3d]

Thanks Ernie ...... I am still hoping that the Celestra will be usable in the FAN films.. This model won't be as detailed .

:)

[Unimatrix]

So far it looks about right

[evil_genius_180]

Baltar's cell awaits him. :D

Looks great so far. I like it that you're modeling ships that don't get done as often.

[gmd3d]

that is my plan ..:)

[gmd3d]

will you be making bridge windows transparent n make a basic bridge or go for mirrored tints? im hoping to make some interiors as im good at architectural models but suck at ships( look like early 80s doctor who tat) would love to use this model when done for zoom in n thru window transition to internal scene
will u be posting on here when done
cheers :thumbsup:

[gmd3d]

All the model I build will be for BSG will be release publicly .. so your welcome to use them .. I can alter work to suit you when its finished :)

[Titon]

Rotate the uboats so there tilted down at about 30-35 degrees. Keep them where there attached, just rotate them down slightly.

They weren't straight out like that.

:)

[gmd3d]

Thats is what was bothering me .... . I am going to Sub-patch them soon .. I been researching the process .. trail and error .

[gmd3d]

Well I have made some head way with subpatching and will be tackling the prison barge again .. I may just get it closer to the TOS version than the new one as I originally planed ....

[evil_genius_180]

[gmd3d]

Titon showed me his version of the Prison barge and its helped a lot cleared up a few details .. I be going back to this again ..

S

[gmd3d]

I having another go at the main body now ... going to try and get as close as possible

[Stevew]

[gmd3d]

[Stevew]

Very nice Kiddo
:)

[gmd3d]

thanking you :) I have to make a few thing up to see how there connected and attached but the feel is right ..

[Stevew]

Look forward to the final renders
:)

[gmd3d]

I am not going to go detail mad on this .. as it not going to get many close ups in the fanfilm ... but I do want it to stand up well :) .. I have yet to start the rising star ...

[Stevew]

Darrell has a great Riseing Star, maybe when he gets back on line we can get him to post them
S

[gmd3d]

I like to get his advise as to the best way to start it.... .. :) Warrior WARRIOR, where for art thou ..... mith in deep do do learning to ruinith mith Rising Star .... So much for Shakespeare :)

[gmd3d]

I think I get in touch with Fabio .. he may provide some hints

[Stevew]

Good luck. I have tried with out success. He is one busy huy
S

[gmd3d]

I try :)

[Stevew]

If you get him. say Hi for me
Did you get the tanker?

[gmd3d]

I did .. It works as far as I can see .. its in a lot of layers .. so it will take a while to sort out what goes where :) .

But I get to them asap ..
