Definately looks like a small multi-role ship. Get some killer looking turrets and a nice texture to cover it and your good to go!

Cheers guys. I'm not quite sure what's going to become of the ship at this stage.

Unfortunately I found myself learning quite a lot as I went along - and then looking back at the original model and wondering how to incorporate the new things I'd learnt into it. I'm quite tempted to start over with the original model as a template rather than trying to continue with what I have.

By the by, does anyone have any advice / tutorials / etc. for texturing? It's something I have absolutely no skill with and I think it'd go a long way towards improving what I can do.

unwrapping or face mapping ? or do you mean for PSP/PS ?

[Fineus]

All of the above?

Hmm, bit much to go into in one post.

Haven't seen the 3dBuzz tuts yet as I've been busted to 56k but I've no reason to doubt 'em.
if you need any specific pointers just ask.

With a few less guns I could actually see it as a bigger than cruiser smaller than Orion ship in the 14 Year War/Great War era.

Of course...that being my favorite era, I'm kind of biased. It's still very mechanical, and I can easily see Apollos flooding out of the fighterbay.
