The canopy was constructed using the same method of projecting curves onto a nurbs hull. Then using the curves on surface to construct nurbs patches. Then the nurbs patches are converted to polygons and the polygons cleaned up, corners tightened where needed, and finally converted into subd's.
I was very pleased with how tightly the surfaces fit together. I am getting the process of cutting and attaching and rebuilding curves and nurbs surfaces. Still I spent the better part of the evenning working on all the bits. The hinge details I just cobbled together from poly primative shapes.
To do:
- Add more secondary details
- Engine needs more details
- Texturing
- Possibly so internal cockpit details
Oddly enough as long as I have been modeling with maya this is probably the first model I put together completely on my own. I mostly do tutorials. I have never tried texturing anything before. I might give this one a try.
There is still so much to learn...

Personally I like the more technical modelling to the organic modelling. Your curved ship is a very nice example of doing (kind of) both. Also the detailing startup of the cabine hatches are really cool and so far pretty realistic. I like your idea of putting some cabling around the gun area. the gunnow looks nice but imho could use some more realistic/technical detail. Of course you would want to stay close to the original StarWars model, or not?
Looking forward to see you texture this.
Keep the dream alive
Doing a good job

I'll be hoping to add more detail with texturing, bumps, and normal maps. But I don't know if I'll get to that point. I don't know much about texturing and I am not really a good painter.

I was experimenting with a slight modification to the canopy. I'll attach the two images. Please let me know which design you like best. I just added frame rails to the sides (see contact sheet row 1, column 2 and row 2, column 3.
I set up a set of standard camera angles so as to be able to repeat shots for comparison. I took a new set of shots with a blinn shader on to show off the nice clean surface and tight panel lines. Rather then chew up extra band width here I put them on my photobucket account. They can be found here:

The images are full 1024. Here are the thumbnails:

Pretty cool.
Now, how long did you work on this project, in hours and days?
I'm really curious about that.
I'm doing an apache but I can't work on that as often as I would.
Bit frustrating to see other ppl are progressing very fast with their models,...
You gonna texture? When? What is your deadlline? Ever thought about animating and compositing it into a stellar environment?
Take care!
