Since the Gorn use bought federation fighters with Skolean mercs as pilots - thought it best to just retexture my existing Fed fighters... I will probably change the paint pattern instead of just recoloring the existing red.

Why do they have Lyran insignias?

I tried to remake the look of the old SFB gorn insignia - that orange triangle. I was going to go back to the old lyran symbol from SFB and play with that, too. easy thing to change, though. In the new render I've already changed the colors (so that white is on the outside, like in SFB).

I like the darker hull of these Gorn than the almost white set of fed... Think it might be possible to to have the darker hull with the red and blue detailing?


maybe

And just so people don't think I'm crazy, here is a shot of Atolm's gorn CA. I am going to lean heavily towards this when I make my gorn, so the fighters here are going to match that.

Too late about the "Crazy" but it would be super crazy not to see you build a new Gorn Fleet from that GCA...

I'm in at least partial agreement with KF . . . although I'm not the best person to assess your mental health  :crazy2: , a fleet based on Atolm's battlecruiser is a near mouth-watering  proposition! I myself have taken a feeble stab at re-texturing an existing Gorn or two to fit but new, more like designs would be much more desireable!

It's easy enough just to take the texture into photoshop or something and play with the color.  You can get a nice olive drab.  I've played with the skin of this model and made a passible Gorn paint-job.  Still, I like the egg-shaped hulls of the ships that came in the Dynaverse Model Pack.  If someone would do an entire X-ship fleet, then I'd like to have a set.  I'd like to have a set for all the races, for that matter.
