Awesome :) It really works there - the way the bits hang over what is proper scaffolding now makes it look like they built the thing to a design, you know? Like this bit has to go here, and this bit here, and they have to be connected, but it doesn't all have to be one lump of metal.

Like a prototype should look. :nod:

Brilliant. :D In full agreement with BW about the realism the girders add.
Get the 2014 Media VPs and report any bugs you find in them to the FSU Mantis so that we may squish them. || Blender to POF model conversion guide

TURRETS!

:wtf: Turrets..?

He means Tourette's.

It's what he's got. His symptoms seem to become more prominent when he is inebriated.

Have you considered putting something solid in those areas that have the nasty geometry now? Id est, either plug it with something, or put something to further limit its visibility.

I also like what I'm seeing as far as the turrets go.

I decided to forgo the greebles in favor of a full-blown spaceframe.

Doing work on the hangar now. First, the outside--you can enter by following the neck all the way down to where it meets the body, or you can use the usual launch bay.





Here's the inside, so far. I terminated the neck interior and bracing by making them into command areas for launch control. Expect lights on the lower area soon.



As for the rest of the hangar, I think I'm going to do some tinkering in GIMP with the FS2 Main Hall and make it into a low-poly diorama. Stay tuned.

And, I love the spaceframe. Gives this idea that they wanted a huge ship, but didn't know what to fill it up with :yes:

 
I just jizzed a little.

Very cool. UVing and texturing will almost certainly kill you, but it's so pretty :D

Wow.

Sometimes I forget how big the Colossus really is.
