ROFL.. 1 day until I go on my Army Promotion Course, should be studying..... but im modelling..... doh  :police: "Your nicked son!!"  :D

Anyway, I just wanted some input on this fighter / shuttle im working on... Gonna hand it over to FV for his mod when its done....

Just need some input on making the mesh more rommy looking... ?

Who would have thought that making a rommy fighter would be such a pain in ZE BUTT  :D

this is great, add some wings with wingtips to the front to the rear hull part

not bad. Looks more like a normal shuttle than a fighter though.

Yeah it's awesome but it looks like a pod as is. Add a set of delta wings to her and see how that looks

It doesnt need delta wings... It needs a superstructure that will accomodate a Plasma F and Plasma D torpedo launchers. That doesnt fit the bill. Maybe put a Ph3 on it and use it as a general shuttle, but it is no fighter.

What you have there, folks is the snazziest looking general fighter/shuttle I have ever seen! Sharp, nice, and well done!

you could always try giving it wings like a mini d'deridex look, but there would be gunpods where the nacelles are on the larger ship. The one in ds9 had the arched wings with nacelles on the end..and it was about the szie of a runabout.

I like this, Even idf you add wings later, be sure to keep this version for a shuttle. :)  Good luck with your Army stuff.

Anyway... hope you are all well.... I apologise for not responding too all your posts about ships and stuff.... I'll do my best to catch up.....  ;)

Time is of the escence  >:(

Peace guys  :)

****Please Note.... Its along way from done, havent mapped atleast 40% of her as of yet   :)) AND I am gonna be adding in detail into the current hull... allot of it too   ;) ;) ;)
