I always thought the Gunstars from that Last Starfighter movie was one of the neatest ships in SiFi.  Are you planning to make both versions of Gunstars?  If I recall, there was basically two versions of it in the Movie, although I'm not sure if both versions had looked different from one another.

Ah. The Gunstar. A personal non-trek favourite. A few things of note here:

1) In the film whilst there weren't two different gunstars, the one that was actually used was a heavily modified standard version. Grig himself stated that it could survive several direct hits (which meant that its shields/armour were far suprated compared to the normal version). It also carried the special weapon known as the "Death Blossom" which was a last resort but highly destructive weapon.

2) The film was the second to carry completely 100% computer generated graphically made items on screen (Tron was the first), although it was the first to have completely CGI space and ship settings.

3) A sequel was planned but never got past the script stage. Apparently it followed the continuation of Alex Rogans life and was supposed to be set directly after the first film. It went on to show the rebuilding of the Star League and Xur was supposed to return. Shame really as I've always found it to be an amazing film for its time.

4) The actual game Rogan plays was rumoured to have been made by Atari. Shame really because ever since I seen the film i would have loved to play the thing.

Anyway, now I've waffled in anough, the model looks great. Highly accurate from what I can see and might I suggest using http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=gunstar&sa=N&tab=wi as a bit of reference for texture colouring etc.etc.

There are two versions, the standard one, and the souped up one, which has the Death Blossom.

If ya need screenie, just say it, I have the movie ;)

Hmm... ya, the main one in the show had the Death Blossem and extra protection.  But didn't the Standard verion look a little different then that one?  Wasn't it a little smaller?  I thought I remember in one scene we could see a whole squadron of them in the hanger bay, were those ones standard or the uprated? 

Also, in a couple of scenes where we see the Computer Game Simulator (for Fighter recruiting of course  ;)  ) wasn't the opening scene of a Gunstar show it a little smaller then the uprated one?  Maybe I'm wrong, just looks a little smaller.

she is longer than she appears in the screenie, her stubbyness is a product of the shot angle

The hanger bay was filled with the 'standard' version, the one Grig and Alex had was a one of a kind proto-type.

yes it wa still being worked on for last minute prep..   as it was a prototype.  That was probably why it was spared in the attack.

Thats exactly why it was spared.  it wasn't in the main hanger at the time but in a separate test area
