First work in Maya
The thing on the right was meant to be the ship from Flight of the Navigator but i haven't got the shape quite right yet.
The ship on the left just evolved.
With any luck it'll improve over time.
Comments and suggestions would be great

using a chrome shader in a largely empty scene will look strange as there is nothing to refelect off the chrome, try adding to this scene i.e. image plane/s maybe, further models, etc that should help bring out the shader, maybe post a wireframe image its hard to tell but your mesh looks a bit distorted?.

Still feeling the noobest of the noobs but loving 3D. Well more to the point loving my new laptop!!
I've started creating a room where the ship is to be investigated not great but learning the ropes slowly.
I'll increase the scale of the room soon.
P.S This is the friendliest forum i've been on!
