    GULP!! For the less observant, check the time frame between post # 54 and # 55.. I think that must have set some sort of build time record.. Factor in the time zone difference + the time for an 'extensive' build feedback, I'd have to say *freakin incredible! + a cold turkey, beta build no...

    Thanks ekuth! The Queen is on its way.. ~ You've done a nice job reproducing those nose textures! looks great Bill ~ yep.. I should have mentioned Kaitain said the Cow was an unfinished project. So I'll add them while 'tweaking for card'.

    Woohoo! I'm glad your going to have a go at designing ekuth! Welcome to the fold.. fold.. fold! The Terran Cutlass is a good choice! ~ Looks like it progressing really well.. *Will you still have the time to test build the Queen? Once you start designing, its like a drug and the hours will...

    Thank you ekuth! I should have the Queen ready for a dress rehearsal in a few days.. kaitain ~ great work on your models, I'm sorry they didn't receive the reception they deserved when your release your MOD. I love the Alphan Minnow! :yep: And as long as I've got my hand out the Stellar...

    Thanks ekuth, I thought it might have been, to long ago for me to remeber them all... boy I wish I still had those books now.... those a bunch other gems lost along the way thanks to stupidity.. do you remember? (or have seen) the old UK comics "Countdown" I was only a few issues shy of having...

    Glad to hear the Hornet model it getting a test drive Bunnyear! I'll finish the pilot off and send it over to you, so you can test it out. Yep.. the space port would be tricky, Although, it would make a great back ground to display the models against.. there's so many good subjects to pick...

    Thank you Bill :-D Bunnyear ~ Excellent model!!.. I really like the way you did the textures. Sorry I didn't have pilots skull ready in time ~ you work a lot faster than I can.. So far...The skull sort of crew a body, Its probably a little more complex than you had in mind, I thought it...

    Hey thanks Bunnyear ~ Geeezz.. do I have to get some new equipment! Extra points for your methods! I don't think I'd have the skill to develop a model that way.. If you get stuck with the pilots skull or internal textures, let us know. I've got a few 3d models of skulls and plenty of raw...

    Wow.. looks great Bunnyear! Tell us how you've developed it so far? Did you convert the original picture to a texture for a 3D model? What software did you use? Printer ? paper? Great quality shot ! What camera do you use? Excellent work so far, looking forward to seeing it progress! btb...

    Hey thank you Bunnyear! Great shot, I haven't seen it before and Yep it helps a lot.. that angle confirms it, the Queen would look way better with the longer wing root. ++++ A Big thank you to Bowdenja! :-D He's done an excellent job and finished test building the Hornet = found all the...

    Hey that's looking very promising Bowdenja. The Hornet may live after all..Thanks for the pic, it makes the world of difference to see it in the Flesh. Its bigger than I pictured it, not a bad size. If there's going to be a few of them to display, a TTA style stand will probably be the go...

    Bunnyear.. welcome to the forums! Thanks for the pic, it does look interesting. I didn't have the 'SHIPWRECK' book, so there's probably several nice subjects worth considering. If even only very basic, I'll certainly try to do as many as possible/practical from the series. Funny we all...

    Yep the Queen would have to be a must! on the Dev list. Perhaps next after the Hornet..Good suggestion MOS95B, although for simplicity (building) sake, she might be workable using primitives.. I'll try using them anyway, unless it turns to worms or a better mesh turns up..

    Thanks guys! I'm aiming for reasonably simple builds, of course any assistance / input is welcome.. yep.. I'm pretty sure Chriss Foss was one of the artists, although I couldn't say which books. ~ I didn't have them all. *sob* Kaitain ~ Woow! I thought I had most of the Mods for Homeworld...

    mmm... Just as an addendum to the above... its funny how 3D can take you off on a tangent.. The pic below is the same Hornet mesh used in the first post ~ after I screwed up the textures. Not what I was after, but I can see a whole new ship in the making = chronic fiddler. *sigh*

    I'd imagine many of the SF guys would be familiar with the TTA series of books (SF art). For me, its one of those childhood memories that always brings a smile.. I rode those great looking spaceships all over the galaxy.. This model started as series that.. "I must get around to one day..." It...

    Pepakura tutorial

    Hey Steve.. excellent idea on the META tut, I hope you continue with it.. There are some great tuts out there, although most of them don't cater for novice designers = find a great 3D mesh ( unusually highly detailed ) and try to crunch it through PEP.. So a 'reverse engineering' approach for a...

    Thank you rojo ..That Jolly Roger is way better than the one I was working on, I can finish the textures for the Pandora and Devastator now, should have a test build of the Zeppelin ready in a week or so.

    Crimson Skies

    Thanks rojo.. Anything you can come up with would be much appreciated. The stand is finished, I loved the Mountain top instillations in the game. I was always sorry you couldn't get out and explore them (Crimson Skies meets Duke Nukem !!)...So I've tried for something along those lines for...
