Klingon Fighter WIP
« on: July 10, 2005, 02:12:54 pm »
I've been going home to my parents' house to spend time with my family and girlfriend on the weekends, but I can't work on my models because their on my computer back in the dorm and my parents don't have the programs I need installed on their computer.  I had an inspiration for a model while I was here, so I downloaded and installed gmax on my parents' computer and started working on it.  After I finish my work for greenvalv's mod, I'll probably convert this so I can finish it up in 3ds max.  I just want to know how many people are interested in it.

It's a Klingon fighter, probably either TOS or TMP era.  It's still in the modeling stages, but I have the basic form pretty much done.  The main things I want do do is add more detail to the warp engines and add missiles under the wings.

Very cool...Missiles would be very cool...very TOS/SFB.  You could also try different types of engines to represent changes in TOS vs TMP....looks good so far...keep it up...Shuttles and fighter are one of the things I think is quite lacking in SFC...

Thanks.  I want to eventually make several small craft, such as fighters, heavy fighters, PFs, attack shuttles, admin shuttles, and various other shuttles.  Of course, this is in addition to the KOTOR ships that I also want to make, and I still have work to do on helping greenvalv finish his mod.  I've also told someone that I would make a Terran Battlecruiser from Starcraft, so right now my modeling order is:
greenvalv's mod
Terran Battlecruiser
KOTOR ships/small craft models

I started on this one early because I was looking at this thread http://www.spacestationk7.eliteforce.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2350 and the Romulan Fighter here inspired me to make something similar for the Klingons.

Interesting looking, from the rear it sorta looks like a bulky Romulan SFC3 Frigate.

It would also make a cool TNG Klingon runabout too.
