Nice :yes:

Although I like the turret it's too far from the old Medusa.

I don't now anything about modeling, but I think some changes at the marked areas might look good.

While nicely modelled, the turret shouldn't be manned IMHO.
Otherwise...looking great!

Very nice, with the exception of the laser gun. Please remove those 'spikes', they make the laser gun look like a missile.

4000 polies? You spent almost 2k polies on the turret and the guns? That's not ideal methinks. HTL's good, but not that good.

Are the 'bombs' included in these 4000 polies?

Previous count was polys. This time it's triangles. That could account for the large difference.

I think you are wasting polys on the guns, turett barrels and the rounded intakes on the sides of the missle pods
They are overrounded and the barrels overdetailed too, you could cut probably up to 1k triangles, which would be advisable since 4k triangles seems to me a bit too much

A fighter or bomber should not go beyond 3000 triangles.

Uhh.. what rounded intakes? I got rid of the missle pds and it looks rounded because this is a fully rendered picture with 4x AA.

Edit: nm, those will be edidted soon.

Can you do a wireframe? Sounds like you have a lot of extra polys/triangles.

I think the laser cannons are too rounded.

loose the extra detail on the turret, and the turret on the medusa (or the ursa, for that matter) is teeny.. prolly half that size, and either computer, or co-pilot controlled.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
