for the FS1 purists, a lot of FS1 shivan ships actually had a lot of tubes on them, only thing is they were a texture detail, as long as tubes are don in a 'behind the armor' fashion it should stay true to the source material.

I concede then.

I'm entitled to my own opinion just like you are entitled to yours.

The basic difference between you and me is simple: unlike you, I don't point out the canon designs I don't like as "idiotic" multiple times in multiple times. That's why you're beginning to bug people.

And let's get back on topic (for real now).

I tend to agree with him though, the FS1 ships seemed a lot more alien, a lot of them were asymetric or had realy odd angles on them.

I don't agree with that comment at all (of course ), but yes, we really should be getting back on topic now so let's stawp rambling.

I've taken a stab at the greebles on the back of the Azrael, but it broke my knife.

Anywho, it looked like crap, so I deleted it. The brown color didn't help.

[Commander Zane]

You didn't completely delete the model did you?

[Aardwolf]

No, I didn't delete the model

Just the version that had the ugly greebles. I've got like 30 earlier versions saved

[Commander Zane]

That's good to hear.

[Bobboau]

you should post a few versions online just in case your hard drive catches fire.

Sounds like a good enough idea.

Here's a zip file containing 5 versions of the model at various stages, A being the first saved and E being the most recent. I also threw in the Guns (turrets) model, and the texture.

They're all in .wings format (except the texture, obviously), cuz that was easiest for me, and won't lose anything like smoothing info on reimporting.

[Aardwolf]

Not much work since last time. A little on the nose.

[Aardwolf]

A tiny bit of detail in the front and front-mid sections of the top. And I'm suddenly worried I've forgotten where the top two turrets are exactly, and may have foolishly greebled under them.

I can't say I like the serrated fins much. Straight or slightly curved blades seem more Shivan.

[Aardwolf]

B-b-b-but... that was one of the first things I did with it! You didn't complain earlier...

As for why I did that, I noticed on the textures there's a zig-zag near the tips of the fins, and I thought I'd run with the idea. Nonetheless, it really isn't as 'serrated' as it may look from some of these angles.

I'll upload some more pictures later.

Oh yeah? I like the way it looks. 

[Snail]

I agree with Galump.

[Droid803]

They've been there since the first page though O_o

I like them.

[Aardwolf]

I was just experimenting with the idea of making a narrow 'trench' along the Azrael's roofline. It's not very deep, and not very wide, and although the textures don't have it, I reckon it isn't too much of a stretch.
