And another WIP update:

Nice detailing again
Isn't it supposed to be more grey though? Seems very bright to me.

[SC4RY_Z0MB13]

Seems like it just rolled off the Imperial construction line.  As in like some WIPs it needs to be a little less clean.  Rough edges, dented fenders, what this ship needs is class!

Keep up the amazing work!

Isn't dirtying up the last step in a new models life (apart from getting ingame of course)?
So have some patience people.

[newman]

Yep, he did say it's a wip update. For the less astute, that usually means not finished yet.

[brandx0]

Yeah, making it dirty is the last thing I do.

Now we need some speederbikes, one half-finished Deathstar, one shield generator, and several Ewoks and voila, Ep VI! 

Great job on the shuttle.

In this case though, the grey he's talking about isn't dirt I don't think, but probably likely due to lighting conditions in the filming.  The studio model itself is a lighter shade like this, so proper mission lighting settings should give the effect you're remembering.

- Ewoks + Wookie Slave Camp = Much Better VI

[brandx0]

Yeah, the filming models were all rather bright, it really just depends on the lighting

for example

RGB 204/216/236


RGB  170/179/212


RGB 129/152/181

Yeah, so true. That'd be something for a re-imagined Star Wars.
The pics Brand-X posted, makes me want to watch the two trilogys again.

Oh, hmm, I see. Carry on.

Soon, soon

And here we go, a WIP of the bottom

Thanks for the quick reply. Impressive.[/Vader]

Every once in awhile I start to think that Star Wars was a part of my youth that I don't need anymore, and that Lucas has with his prequels destroyed the part of me that loved those movies and the whole universe that so captured my imagination.

And then I log in to these forums and see the amazing work you guys are putting together and I'm rushed back to the same heart-pounding excitement that makes me crave flying starfighters and transport myself into the greatest fantasy world ever made.

Thank you for rekindling such emotions for me.  Your work is amazing and I look forward to the day I can see all these models in action on my own computer.

[Thaeris]

Again, as a reminder - The base model is Axem's. Don't froget to credit and thank him while you laud Brand's beautiful texture work.

That said, nice textures/(geometry tweaking?), Brand.

 

[brandx0]

Yeah, I just unwrapped it, did a few geometry tweaks and am doing the texture.  Axem did the model itself. 

[CountBuggula]

Hence why I said "you guys" instead of individually lauding Brand's work.  This is quite the collaborative achievement.

[zookeeper]

Yeah, not so sound like an arse, but I think I heard that someone has also set up the aft turret, firepoints, thrusters, subsystems, shield mesh, made an engine sound, a radar icon, a way of opening/closing the wings, etc...
