daverave(under attack)
 

Just a starting place, this is a space ship cargo transporter, it will have engines on the end of the wings and back, a update "space 1999" my dad told me all about that?..........dave

Looks ok mate..space 1999 now thats a classic!!! you old bugger you

chhers bullet

Can't wait to see more, keep it up

Started on the engine, hope to put a lot more detail in it..........dave

Just a little update to show were im going with this, Im going to blow up the engine had to make sure the cowling fitted the engine, as the can see the engines will be able to rotate...........dave

Edit:still not shore of the scale of this thing think that will come to me as I refine the hull?

forgot this

looks good, and original

Looking good Dave!!!! waiting for explosions to see it fly apart.(evil grin)

cheers bullet

Edit: about the same size or slightly larger as a dropship or sub orbital troop carrier?

Sorry not a great update, but I hope I will have more time to get things moving

That looks good mate...more stuff to fly around in the explosion (BIGGER evil grin).

You didnt say what size it was dave??

cheers bullet

Hi Bullet
I think I will go with your suggestion of a mid range space ship dropping cargo of say 400 tones{will have to model that}, yes I am trying to put stuff in to the engine area to explode............dave

sounds like a plan dave.....sorry I LOVE explosions.....still havent grown up yet..probably never will LOL

cheers bullet

Another little update, start of the engine cradle.........dave

Lookin good dave

Thanks bullet
Trouble is Im not using any refferances and I think it shows, top of the head (need a new head)...........dave

bahahahah now you ARE in trouble!!!! Go to NASA or JPL mate...they will jhave refs for engines

cheers bullet

That's always the worst...

Your work looks good though

Sorry not realy a update but a fix in the cradle (there was some distortion).......dave

how bout a shot of the wireframe? i'm curious :)

As requested Chirone
Do you mind what are you curious about, the cadle is made up of differant parts I think I could make one mesh but that would be time consumming............dave

looks good dave...now that you have ribbed me...wheres and when my EXPLOSION...sigh

nah looks good man

cheers bullet

Hi Bullet
Nearly finished the engine just a thew damps to attach the engine to the cradle and a thew more wires, I must admit I was going to try and finish the modelling by sunday but know its going to take a thew more days, then texturing then explosion.........dave

lookin good mate!!!! a bit hard see after a few slushy pints

hic

cheers bullet

bring on the explothuns hic

Thunday!!! it is Sunday..nearly hic

i was wondering about the holes mostly

Chirone
Just a lot of ctrl-d and rotating around corners, this was one I did not use...........dave

Starting to look at the shape of the hull.............dave

starting to come together mate...I assume thtas the detachable cargo hold n the belly??

cheers bullet

Yes you are right Bullet, might make it with the hole theme? little update.............dave

Lookin the part dave..that shot is sooooooooooo HAL and the 2001!! bahaha

I would do the belly with something weird mate...dont do a shipping container type cargo

cheers bullet

Nice progress Daverave. The overall design is looking pretty sweet.

Just a little update, added some bomb will need to create a launcher or container for them............dave

pretty cool mate...closer and closer to the objective

cheers bullet

Great cant wait to see more:attn:

Thanks Guys
Another update, bomb launchers...........dave

Just a closer shot

Wow...looks good mate! I see now you are becoming the 'Holy' one?? with all of these cutouts.bahahahaha

cheers bullet

Just adding some shaders see what I can get away with not uving......dave

cant see it dave...can you change the background colour maybe???? or UV it

cheers bullet

Need to UV it

I have just added a light hope you can see better..........dave

Edit:this is just half the ship so might look a bit odd

Nice update man, nice to see it all togeather!
