I think I showed you this spaceship before

[whisky]

It was kind of blue before, lots of armour, but short on detail.

I've been adding details, not finished yet, and some of them havnt been mirrored over to the other side yet.

Ignore the bits that are still blue, the whole thing will get a new paint job when the modelling is done.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I hope you keep it that colour, I really liked the blue and infact the textures over all.

 

[whisky]

Thanks, I rushed it before though, I think I can do better.

If the three turret-gunners get involved in a love triangle, how will it affect their seating arrangements?

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'd fuck a gun turret.

 

[curiousa2z]

whisky, about how long does it take you to render a picture like that?

 

[whisky]

A picture that size with that lighting set up typically takes around 3 minutes.

 

[Ishcabittle]

in 1996 that would have taken 6 days.

 

[CaptainWacky]

And you'd have to walk ten miles in snow with bare feet to get to the rendering room.

 

[WillsZenith]

what you naming it?

 

[whisky]

I just call it an assault shuttle.

 

[whisky]

And heres another pic of it.

This really reminds me of a toy spaceship I had as a kid. It wasn't any brand that I can remember, or a particular licence. It was about 8-10 inches long, part die-cast, and defo had those pod-style gun ports, and forward mounted cannons.

 

[whisky]

I dont suppose you still have it in a box in the attic?

 

[Gagh]

Nah. I don't have any childhood toys left.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

NOT EVEN THE FAMOUS AT-AT WALKER?!!?!

 

[Gagh]

Nope. Sold at a car boot sale circa 1989.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I've got a moldy X-Wing.

 

[whisky]

I replaced the rotating engines today, the other ones seemed a bit boxy to me.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

I thought the originals looked really cool, but these do fit the design better.
