I'll eventually get to the body too and I might also texture it, but that depends if I'm still interested. That'll be the easier part to do I think. Because they have a perfect front reference in the intel anim for Vasudans.
I'm not sure about giving it a skeleton though. That's one part I'm very inexpirienced in. But even if I did do that I'll have done it in blender. Yep, that's what I'm using, so I'm not sure it'll work in programs more familiar to other 3d artists.
I think i found a way to perfect my model. In the freespace 1 cutscene where admiral wolf is briefing some pilots on the capture of the taranis, right after he says, "We're going to attempt something bold, the capture of the taranis." A vasudan pilot in the background, who was staring directly at the camera, turns to his wingmate, giving us a full profile. It looks kinda lo-res, especially on youtube, but I think the uncompressed .avi version is hi-rez enough to where I can get the proportions and the shape of the head just right. Now if I could only find the uncompressed .avi somewhere. *hint*
