Sounds like his model was really impressive. Maybe I should spent my time on aother model...

Nice.

Cockpit is a tad to terran for my tastes, I would go more along the lines the texture implies.

*Looking at WMC screenie*

Could the green glowy bits be the cockpit interior, with the grey lines being the cockpit struts ?

i have a small suggestion for the missile banks: as seen in the stock manticore model, make a bit of an indent in the right side of the triangle. :)

The thing about the Manticore, and this goes for the Scorpion too, was that properly textured they probably could have passed for slightly odd Terran designs.

I don't see a real cockpit in the texture...

That's spelled Hiigaran, BTW. And techinically, it's a Taidan interceptor. </nitpick>

It's a Hiigaran interceptor, and technically the Taidan were not in HW2 ;)

That was one of those really crap story tidbits that somehow made it into the final game.  You're better off considering them a different race for all intents and purposes.  And the Vagyr interceptor only showed up in one of those pics anyway so it would still be wrong.

Of course, seeing as how the homeworld universe is completely fictional, I'm not sure how it's possible for any of the factions to have been involved in the second world war :p

Wait a sec...I got that wrong. I meant Kushan. The Taidan stuff was more streamlined in look. I was thinking Homeworld, not HW2. I've only just recently gotten HW2 and I'm barely to the edges of the Gehenna asteroid field.

She is a beauty mate, What are you planning with the guns anyway? I still think you should 'cap' them like in the concept, I like the idea of Shivan using some kind of emmiter rather than the traditional barrel.

Ahh, I'm liking the extra detail on the 'arms'. Will it line up with the textures when you're done?

Those are actually on the stock texture. They look a bit different. I wasn't able to copy it 100% and left them this way, because it looks neat. ;)
I'm going to re texture the model from the scratch. The old map is too bad to work on....
