Not bad, a note: you could modify those square looking panels on the side, change their shape a little to something more "angular".

This looks great. Interesting design. Can't wait to see where this goes. :yes:

This has a vague Zephyrus shape. Overall I like how it's looking. Carry on.

That's an interesting design, me like! How many man-hours go into knocking up something like this?

It's about 5 hours or so.  This one might actually motivate me to learn the other steps of getting a ship ingame.

Well it looks spot on, keep chipping away at it! Is the modelling the most labour intensive part of the whole project or is the skinning (texturing?) more difficult? I'm not entirely sure of the terminology, apologies.

I'd like to have a little go at this myself at some point, I'm sure I'm not alone in having a flock of never-to-be fighters and capital ships swarming around me brain and scribbled in book margins. Any good pointers on where to get an education in wings 3D?

Since your starting out, I recommend keeping various versions of your work.

IE I love your first version, so save it, don't change it!

If people complain it's not "FS2 enough", that's their problem...

Your model, your vision, don't be afraid to EXPERIMENT.
Happy accidents occur that way!

Just get yourself some SVN hosting (assembla is free under a certain filesize) and put the file in it; you'll never need to worry about making multiple versions of anything ever again.
