I see em fine.

Thu11s - any info, please? Even telling us they wont be out till christmas would be better than not telling us anything... Erm, no wait scrap that, just release em when ready...

BTW Thu11s - what part of London are you in/from, I from the northeast, well right on the edge of Essex actually, kind of a bad image really - you know that show 'Essex Wives'? Just a few blocks away from us they filmed that!

Sorry for no update peeps

Been busy at work doing extra days covering peoples holidays  But my days off have been spent out on my bike whilst the weathers been good, so it's not all bad . Next week is my short week (only in Wed & Thurs) so hopefully have this and the SkyHawk done for the end of the week (fingers crossed!)

I'm in over in West London just down the road from Heathrow, a poky little town called West Drayton

Classic though it would be to have miniatures of Thu11s' ships (I'm still trying to figure out how to go about scratchbuilding a Firehawk) ADB would have to manufacture them in the reviled 1/3000-and-somethingth scale (I forget exactly what scale those miniatures are in) - besides ADB models always suck. Obviously we need a garage company to make 1/1400th scale resin models of Thu11s' work.

Anyway BUMP - Thu11s where are you man? You've not got trapped by that evil alien lifeform they call real life again have you?

Easy way to do this (although expensive, maybe hard to get someone/somewhere to do it, relatively time consuming, so maybe not easy!) is convert the 3ds files to a format AutoCAD can handle and get them made using Stereolithography (pretty sure thats what its called, been a while since Uni). It's a manufacturing process where you have a vat of liquid plastic (not sure which one) and a platform that goes down into the liquid. It starts at the top and lasers (UV I think) are fired onto the surface of the liquid setting it in the shape you want. As the platform moves down, it slowly builds up a 3d shape by setting layer upon layer. You can make pretty much limitless shapes with it, even hollow shapes with no holes or weld lines. Saves time and money in not needing tooling, you just send info from the PC and off it goes. Little effort but expensive. It's mainly used for prototyping if memory serves

Anyhooo, slightly OT, the SkyHawk is now done and just the head and boom section of the Condor need doing. I'm off work Sunday thru till Tuesday so hopefully get them up then

Sorry for the lack of updates all round, but by the time i get home it's either real late or the last thing i wanna do is stare at ANOTHER  monitor, as at work I'm in a room by myself with 16 monitors!!!  can you say "Radiation", lol

K, this is the current situ, was kinda unhappy/not feeling perfectionist enough about some of the texturing, so have re-worked some of the hull textures. This is it so far. feel alot happier wtih it now. Before, the hull plating didn't stand out enough and the mapping didn't line up too brilliant, so it got redone!




and a close up of the big bird itself (again reworked)


Also tidied up some of the mesh aswell as redone some texturing on the SkyHawk. Add to this, I've tidied up some of the shield sizing on the ISC CL and CLS which will all go public in a couple of days. I'm planning for a Feral Yards update at the weekend, where both this and the SkyHawk will be available, maybe some others depending how busy I am

Wow!!! That looks incredible. You can almost see feathers on the ventral bird. It looks like it's going to be well worth the wait.
