Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
This one still gets my vote.


LOL, thanks bobbtmann. Perhaps after I finish my current model I'll go back and develop that design as a stand alone ship.
Perhabs that one could be used as an early prototype for the Assault Gunboat (or even the Missile Boat).

Or even an up gunned lambda shuttle.
Seems Cygnus was the one to stick guns on it. Why not add a couple of missile pods?

I'd strip off the top fin, shorten other ones and make it the Missile Boat. It's a nice craft, though balancing it while still retaining it's "feel" from TIE Fighter could be hard. Certainly, a missile-oriented fighter would have a place in FoTG, though it'd be a niche/boss role, given how powerful missiles are.

 
Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
looks awesome, personally I think it just needs a small little bit more of chubbiness.. the main body looks sort of long... I remember them being more wide than long in that area... but might be my brain playing tricks on me...

Looking awesome!

 
Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
I was wondering how this was going.
Looking nice.
Now if this could be finished and FoTG released soon, I could kiss any hope of finishing uni this semester goodbye  :D

When I can fly it? ^^ Shot down some rebel scums!

Details on the underside are amazing.

Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
High poly update.


Almost done with the mesh.  Once the high poly model is complete, I tweak the low poly one and start unwrapping. This is my first attempt at baking a high poly to low poly model. Hopefully it will be okay. :confused:

Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
I didn't even read the thread when I clicked the link in my email, just opened it, got distracted, came back to the tab, and my first thought immediately after spinning the model around was, "why is someone remaking our Lambda?"

I'm sure that was mostly the cockpit glass' fault :)

Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
Well, Lambda inspired is what we wanted right? LOL  Once I get it textured I think it will have an identity all its own.

Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
Looks awesome. It's a sweet blend of the original low poly incarnation, elements of the Lambda, and some original ideas. The forward swept wings are especially nice IMO. Keep it up!

Yep.  Lambda inspired is spot-on.  I'm so glad you're still making progress on this - keep it up!

Actually, its not really "forward swept".  Its more like "forward-tapered".

Re: The Assault Gunboat - Unborn
Hey, there's my new design direction.  :nod:

Being an FFG X-Wings Miniatures fan, I did notice this baby over at Shapeways. http://www.shapeways.com/model/1645123/xg-1-star-wing-assault-gunboat-1-270.html?materialId=60

I may be compelled to make a game piece out of my when it is done.
