Well, Tim, you certainly win the modelling prize in MY book! :-) All I can say is that if you are going to use it in an animation, PLEASE don't blow it up right away!!!! :-)

Excellent and inspiring work!

incredible Tim, you certainly are in the runnning for the 'patince and hard work 'prize. more proof of what can be achieved with a doggedly attitude and self belief. (even though you started with self doubt , a little anyway)

Hi there Tim.. it seems you've totally nailed this one, would you say its one of your best/favourite works?..
Your attention to detail is frightening ( i thought the same when you was doing the HMS victory modelling),, do you ever get the "OMG what have i started feeling" when your halfway through one of these detailed projects?

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.

Nice long shot, you can still see some detail even at this distance.

It's been a while since I chimed in on this thread. Fantastic Job I must say. My only concern is that it seems a little too thin, but thats more than likley the angle of the pic. I hope you can get it textured. It would be awsome to see it lit up. I would also like to see in the download section if your willing to do so.
