Been practicing modeling lately.
Concept
 (http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/GVCv_Septu.jpg)  

My first attempt (technically fourth or fifth    (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

I like.

The support for the cannon looks better in the concept pic. but generally a good job.

I really like that concept pic. The model, while good, doesn't do the concept justice. It looks too elongated.

It might help to know what sort of ship you're looking for here. The concept looks like a heavy fighter, while the model looks like a fast frigate. Also, before I looked at the model, if someone would have asked, I'd have said that was a shivan design, not a Vasudan one. I know I wouldn't like to see a swarm of those bubbling up out of the mists of the nebula.

Just a little thing: this concept is one for a shivan ship  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) A more elaboated version led to that shivan bomber that looks like a horse foot ( the naema I think)

Actually, it's a Vasudan corvette. You know, V's Freespace concept art. ("http://www.geocities.com/alpha_quadrant_project/concept.html") It's a little larger than a Sobek.

Edit:
It needs tweaking.

But that's an arbitratory (sp?) choice. I have the full pic, and it's a page full of shivan ships, and ONLY shivan ships.

The only ship on that whole page I find an interest in modelling, and venom already did it.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) (the Jotun)

PAH! I'll do it anyway for Iwar2! After... I do... all that other stuff on the work queue...

The jotun isn't really Iwar2'ish if you know what I mean. Anyway, if you want, I can send you the max file and the maps.

I sent you an E-mail recently, have you received it?????
Ryx: the model is really nice, but it really does look like a Shivan concept...

Nah, the Jotun looks fun to model. Thanks for the offer though.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

As for not being Iwar2ish, well the Braavosi and the Waterdancer aren't either, but I still enjoyed making them and putting them in. Besides that, the Storm Petrel (Cormorant?) isn't exactly the most Iwar Universe type ship either.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hey, whose page is that? I'm the unknown dude who did up the model for the GTC Causcasus / Rebel fighter.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

OUCH. And now the site is down. I'm glad I grabbed the concept sketches I liked.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Yet another thing I should mirror...

Looks like a design based off the SB Taurvi, but with dreadlocks.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Yes, that's the Taurvi. I always mix up the names.
