You should post pics, or the models themselves, to get people interested.

Do you have ICQ or MSN? If I'm going to help, it'll be through an IM rather than forum posts.

They look nice enough :)

Texturing is easy. Texturing well is an art :D Do you need help figuring out how to texture at all or how to texture well?

Don't let the turreting FAQ fool you. I'm not actually that much of a modeller. :D I've only totally completed one mod and for every mod I do think is worth continuing with I've got another 10 I gave up on halfway cause they were to poor to be worth continuing with.

I wrote the turretting FAQ cause I had an awful time trying to get turrets to work myself and I didn't want anyone to have to go through it themselves.
 When it comes to other parts of modding it would be a case of the partially sighted leading the blind. At the moment there are large sections of modding I've never tried (I've never made a fighter or bomber for instance so I can only point to the advice of those who have).

Basically I give advice when no one else has cause it's better than nothing (plus I've noticed that some people who would ignore a request for help will leap in to say someone else is wrong :D )

Thanks for converting them.  I was going to do it this morning instead of late at night.  And  diamondgeezer i can be found on MSN via the e-mail address [email protected].  Applying textures i can do.  But when it comes to making the textures themselvs is where i meet my maker.  and i can't make cockpit windows.  but i will have a go at texturing them and show what i can't do.

*Ick*

dont like that tex at all...

too grainy and it makes it look like a funny neb poof

what race are they supposed to be?


on a side note that would be a great camo tex for nebula missions. You could probably use that with the cloaking mod.

Most of it is a nebula background.  and the red bits are fs2 images.  i just don't know what from.  The point if the neb tex is to make it hard to see in the neb.  They are also supost to be advanced stealth ships.  and yes i am planing a campaine around a little revenge for a few cappella survivers.  (exploiting a little over looked weakness to the bad destroyers.  They lack AWACS)
