6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

Hello, all!

With the recent release of the 1/48th scale 6th Millennium Fighter, I decided to give it a schematics treatment similar to my Nova Class Battlestar diagrams I did (incidentally, 2 years ago to the day). Take a look and let me know what you all think.

excellent work ... as par expectations :salute::salute:

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

that is amazing, very nice work on it!!

I would have loved to get one of the fighters, but I'm concentrating on 1/72 scale fighters, not the 1/48 scale ones. Unfortunately

Thanks much all - most appreciated. :)

Eastern Alliance Destroyer is next!

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

that will be interesting :salute:

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

Nice work.

Looking forward to the EA Destroyer

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

Great!
Will you be doing the internal details? Cockpit, landing gear, et al?

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

^^^ Thanks very much!

Re: Interior, likely not - for two reasons: There is no real visual information on those kinds of details and I'm more of an external-view type of designer in the first place.

I know it seems kind of funny coming from me and the detail that I put into these things, but I don't have much patience to fill a panel with a bunch of repeating knobs and buttons. I'm more interested in getting as close as I can to the source material and building the most accurate 5- or 6-view exterior layout as I can.

I suspect, though, that it shouldn't be much different from a Viper cockpit and internals, considering the similarity of their design and pedigree, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone out there is putting together a full Viper cockpit layout. I've heard rumors of such a project for some time now on various other boards.

Once I am finished the project I am working on now .. I would like to have a go at building this in lightwave.... and I am also think of retrying the Galactica its self .. do you have any really large images of the BIG G

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

Why yes. Yes I do. :)

Beware, though - 4.32MB of crunchy digital goodness.

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

Sweet ,, grabbing it now !! thanks ..

my intention is to keep it poly friendly for animation ..

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

is it possible to extract the Image from the pdf .... in say jpg ... I am not sure how to do it?

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

I'm thinking probably not, as it's a vector PDF, not raster.

Here's a link to a large-scale rendered PNG I made from the original Adobe Illustrator source, to save you some time:

Give that a try to see if it's big enough for your needs.

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

It look better for the close up that I like to used .. thanks for your trouble Gebirg :) I appreciate it

Re: 6th Millennium Fighter - Schematics
 

No trouble at all. :) I look forward to seeing what you come up with on your end. Salud!
