Alright so in the event i need more complex work, and a refresher on the basics. I chose to do the gunstar from the last starfighter. I loved that movie as a kid, thought there was enough star trek or star wars models floating around. Ill have something to post later today

Heres a picture of what i got so far, its harder than i thought since theres no blueprints or pictures that line up or show me how things look at certain angles.

YES

I loved the last starfighter too! I found it on DVD and still watch it every once in a while as part of a cheesy 80's movie night.

Looking foward to seeing it get a facelift!

Thanks! From what i hear there are rumors flying around there doing a sequal.

Heres updated picture, i had to redo it because my comp froze before i saved it. Im honestly stuggling with it due to trying to figure out what looks like what at different angles, from the pictures im using.

Hey, can you post some links, or picture reference, i tried Google, but didn't turn up anything. Would help to see what your aiming for.
