Yeah, pretty much. I'm pretty sure a lot of that reference didn't exist when I started this thing...
A ton of the reference available is actually unusable. In the archive, a bunch of that is crap. That black Frigate? It's wrong, I don't know where that reference is from, even it's it from production, you can tell it's an concept model... there are lots of things different on that one then the final model you see in other photos.
That's been the hardest part of this project for me. Any "blueprints" out there are wrong by large margins. Lots of the other reference are just completely wrong or early revisions of the final model. I've mentioned this before, I worked with the guy who originally designed this ship, Nilo Rodis, when I was with EA. They build several concepts before the final version is built.
Also, for simplicity, the majority of my model will be symmetrical, which will be a little different form film. It's more or less my own interpretation of the thing. I believe the Frigates were built similar to Corellian Cruisers though? Everyone is different?
