May turn into massive old model thread...
As I have already stated, I am a virtual model collector, and a huge fan of everything done here at HLP since I discovered it 3 years ago.  At the moment I am trying to get my hands on every one of the older models I can, even the ones not done in SCP or high detail.  So far my list of acquisitions is huge.  About 642 to be exact.  There are many still that I wish to get my hands on.  What I am doing now is making a big request for any and all good models floating around out there.  I already have everything from Inferno R1, the deceased campaigns Reciprocity and Over The Top, and just about everything ever done by StratComm and Trashman, to name a few.
 
I am mainly interested in Vasudan ships, notably the GVF Saqqara, which I can't find anywhere.  The Kabachet in its original form would be nice if it even exists.  Finally, to name one more specific, the ships of the Starforce mod (Is it even still alive? There's no site for it.) sounded nice.  Of course these would be models already released:p.

I would also much prefer these to be pofs, textured if possible.  I know next to nothing about modeling or texturing, I am only a collector.  They don't have to have gunpoints or even subsystems mapped on, it just has to work with ModelView32.  I'm mainly just interested in the model.

Thanks for listening to all that, and I hope what I've done here is not a stupid noobish request.  If so, sorry everyone.  I have to try.

Wow, this would be a great resource if you put the models on the web somewhere. :)

There are a few old-school models that I'm a fan of.  Do you have the GTCv Phobos, the GTI Polaris, the PVI Karnak, the Vasudan Mine, the Terran Probe, and the SF Gorgon (all designed by Dark, as I recall ;))?

I have at least three of those.  Phobos,  Gorgon, and Karnak.  I may have the Mine as well.  I'll send them to you, if I can figure out how :).  Once again, if there is any leads on the whereabouts of the Saqqara or Kebachet, I would greatly appreciate it.

The Polaris bits are quite cool. They work very well in conjuction with Arcadias and Ganymedes in a shipyard-like setting.

I think in the FS1 days he was pretty much the only person who knew how to make models and pofs.

GVF Saqqara, advanced Serapis upgrade, mesh by Knight Templar, textures, POF and interface art by me.
Trayus, we should compare notes. Send me a PM. If you could, dig through the big FS2 mods list on the FSDoc Wiki and see what you're missing, and add on there what you have and isn't listed. Thanks!

Oh, well, actually, I have them.  I was just encouraging you to get ahold of them if you didn't have them already, because they're quite cool. :)

Images of the models I mentioned can be found at this address:

They're rather hard to locate, though.  If you can't find them, PM me, and I'll email them to you. :)

Soooo....... where is everything from the Starforce mod (Woolie Wool's project)?  It is dead?  It sounded promising, especially the ship names in the Microsol Consortium.  Christians in space!! :D :shaking: :wtf: (Not that I have any objections to that. The idea is fun.)

Woolie Wool... that's a name I don't think I've heard in a long time.  IIRC, all of his ships were publicly available mods with their names changed.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

If they're not here, on Hades-Combine, or floating around the forums somewhere, I have no idea.  I just remember him asking for every model that made its way through FS modding for use in his Starforce mod, of which nothing ever materialized.

I see. Well, I'll leave that one at that, then.  What about the Kabechet?  Was there a version done before it was added to Inferno?

I released the Kab somewhere in 3ds form, but it was never released as a converted pof.

Alright, I'm back.  I did some ship list searching (with a little help of course), and I am now looking to acquire the GTD Tennyson, GTCv Andarius, GTF Proteus, SOD Nearea (it was the GTDn Eternity eleswhere), SOCa Aristaeus (GTB Notus' original carrier), original GTB Notus, and GVF Kauket if anyone's got it.  Thanks :).

I would like the alternate GTD bastion, the really cool vasudan influenced one (awesome Orion)... I had a screenshot from the old website (from 2002ish?) but too lazy to upload it ATM... I think Icefire and one of the other ancients were involved  (Anaz?)... I dont have the link to the site anymore.

As for Tennyson I never saw a finished release. A pre-finished .cob/or .lwo/.max with 5 lods was listed but I lacked the skill to use the model file. I deleted the other lods and tried to convert lod1/0?  but failed.
