I really like this ship. The front sort of reminds me of an A-wing from starwars: thin and wedge-shaped. That gives a very large top-surface to mount weapons, ports, sensors, or whatever else you may need. The engine blocks are also very distinctive, and the fact that they're divided into two separate pods means that it's easier for the ship to turn. I really like the colors and the attention to detail, it looks like a real ship. Great work.

Looks like a battleship sized A-Wing from star wars.

you know... I have no idea.

The rear engine blocks should be conecte3d to the foward body by a sleve of some sort. Otherwise the radar echo will stand out like a sore thumb. Otherwise good to go.

I had planned on asking the original author for help on that one, but, he's been mia for a while now, thus, the new version's been shelved, sadly.

How about Wolf Shypyards, Dont they have the adress of the original author?

he's a member there as well.
anyways, I believe he said to me that there's a reason the ship has stealth plating.

Even if it has stealth plating that HUGE Hole between the engine pod and the rest of the ship is a dead give away for radar and ladar and dradis too. Trust me cover it up or the ship is not worth it cubics worht in dead weight. BTW Try your hand at a lander, not the general BSG shuttle but a new one for the marines. And a modern version of the landram, and a Landram Tank.

as does the original artist.

So make another one by yourself, It would be killer.

my skillset is more geared towards modification and customization, but I will give it some thought.

How modifing the Landram, make it more modern. Or modify the space 1999 moon tank. Just a tought.

Nice job. I recognized Coolhand's design from scifimeshes. Nice adaptation.

all I did was a basic level modification to the pixel art version.
the core of which, was done by a friend.
this was truly the first ship I ever modified, and it was a learning experience.
one which I enjoyed.
thank you for your comments.

is this from a specific scifi, or did you make it yourself? it looks awsome either way
i like the smoothening of the hull & engines.

the original frame was done up by wolff, subsequently updated by bagera, all i did was update an earlier custom to reflect the new hull coloring, and i would like to put it in my fanfic at somepoint

attack sub mixed with awing, nice, i think so too.

Check the link below, loaded a size comparison

i loaded the biggest ship in my standard database, and two exact pixal for pixal copies of the Tigon class 'Terra Venture', that should be one heck of a comparison.
enjoy!
