Well thank you all once again.

Sorry I haven't been on here much I have been rather busy. Been working really hard to get it finished and I have.

The reason why I haven't posted it in the finished work section is because I still hope to get it textured.

I took the following stills to a job interview (printed on A3 paper) at Darkside Animations (www.dsanim.com). They seamed pretty happy with it and I think the interview went rather well but I wont know for another three weeks (so no quick escape from Marks and Spencer just yet).

They suggested that my next project should be something organic, which is what I was thinking of already. So I think im going to dust of my Oliphant tutorial I got all that time ago and give that a bash.

Bust time to answers some questions that have been building up.

TomerM -- The could of the whole model is 346087.

Lt Jim -- Naa man, this ones saying put. Thought there might be a whole fleet of theme so I think one has to be destroyed at some point user added image


pixiekiller -- I would say it's my best work to date, im not sure if it was as fun as the HMS Victory. I got to go to Portsmouth and see the real victory and go inside and touch it, learn the history of it so I think I had a greater connection to it. There were also more times on this project that I really struggled to get the motivation. I really had to fight the temptation to cut corners just to get it finished. The most daunting thing was looking at the reference images. That was a low point, but once you get stuck in you just have to take a bit at a time and before you know it (2 months later) it's done user added image

So with that I just have to show you the stills. I will start a new Oliphant thread but I will pop back to this one when I get bored of my Olipahant and start working on textures of some space battles. Whatever takes my fancy at the time.

Cheers for your patience as well.
