It’s nice to have models to steal parts from. I wanted to put a huge cannon type thing under my new space ship, so I grabbed a barrel from my turret. I like the result:

You can see I still have to make a mounting bracket for it (currently just using a cube). Also that cylinder on top is where the rear-facing turret is going to be. I’m generally happy with the new body shape. All in all the major pieces are falling into place, it’s just lacking a lot of detail work.

I promised myself I wouldn’t do it… but I just started making a new model. This is another one like the big turret. It’s not meant for the game, it’s meant to be very highly detailed and cool looking. This time I’m trying my hand at my own space ship, a sort of fighter model.

It’s still very much a work in progress, but here’s a first image:

It’s still missing a lot of detail, I’m just sort of getting the rough outline in place, figure out where the major parts will go. I’ll post more as it grows.
