Knight26

Last shot for tonight, a before and after picture. There were some texture issuesm please excuse them.

Five view registry shot, I really should add a view of the right side of this one.

Someone ask for a face full of anti-matter, cause here it comes.

And of course Pete and Grunt have come for their inspection, they give a big thumbs up.

Ok 666 views, number of the beast baby and this beast is done, well nearly, I just have to make a few little tweaks to the cockpit and redo the engines. Enjoy and tell me what you think. Also does anyone have a good shark teeth texture they wouldn't mind loaning me?

AH ok, a comma in the title would have helped then, lack of cold probably would have too, lol.

what's the name of the movie?

what is that cross between two daedaleus' and an ARMD, and that funky battlepod, fan creations or from some other game?

Yeah other then the overabundance of feathers they look great.

parting shot, comments?

time for the dramatic shots: above and behind, the panel lines really come out here, especially the ones that are a nod to the VF-1

Abs of Steel: Rear Ventral view, C&C People?

Check out that body: Ok the main fuselage is complete, I just have to do the forward fuselage and nose to do. I will be redoing the engines though, I like how they came out but for some reason they weigh in at 60MB+ on their own and double the total file size. So I am going to redo them try and figure out what caused the problem in the first place and eliminate it. The next two pics I have split between the textured and untextured version to see how different it looks and see which brings out the panel lines better.

I would hardly call the Yamato YF-19 horrid. For their frist toy it is really quite good, I would liken it to the Taka 1:55 VF-1, the Chunky Monkey. Compare any recently made VF-1 to a chunky Monkey, or even a custom and the new one or custom is worlds better. I'm sure that given what they have learned in the what, six years, since they made it that if they made a new one it would be worlds better. We can only wait and see about that though.

Ok, the engines are done, but I may redo them, had some problems building them and they came out taking up way too much memory, 60 MB for all four to be exact. Also I had some problems with rendering once they were inserted, so I had to delete the light sources, I will try reinserting them later. Tomorrow I will start on the fuselage.

why?

Bumpity bumpity bump, status, updates come on...

I'd say the closest you will come to a 1:48 shin/edgar figure is to try and recast the Low-Vis pilot.

Does anyone have pics of the AOshima Die Cast? I ahve only seen one and it is very small.

let's see some pictures people, some of us do npt have consoles, man I wish this would come out for the PC

The F-5/T-38/X-29 family are all small craft, designed for short range, fighter in a shoe box role. Also can anyone tell me why WOV shows F-5s on the deck of the Nimitz, the F-5 is not a carrier capable aircraft. Oh and the first production F/A-22A roled off the line this week and was delivered to the Air Force.

and with the texture map blended in

the next two shots show the differences before and after the texture was applied.

Ok, the weapons are mounted, the Anti-matter cannon and the missile pod, which has been detailed. I also added a basic color map that is 50% blended into the old base color. I will start on the engines tomorrow. Also I figured out why the new panel lines are so much harder to see, I'm not cutting them as thick as before, I will play with those on the engines. Let me know what you think.

whatever happened to your project anyway Thor?
