Knight26

Ok first update, still a long way to go but it is a start. The only parts I have retained from the S-5000 are the cockpit and the torpedo launcher. The Torpedo Launcher may go though, and the cockpit is now so heavily encased that only the canopy is recognizable. This is still very early in the design and very rough so everything is up for change. I appreicate any comments but I think you can start to see the line I am going along for this one.

Hmm, wonder if it will be as funny as the last episode of Venture Bros where they were totally ripping the FF to shreds.

Hmm, interesting, but I always thought that the Human Torch and Invisible Girl were blonde and much more fair skinned. Also isn't MR Fantastic suppossed to be much older. Now the Thing looks good, much more like the classic Thing, though what is up with his wrist?

Ok, now that the Splicer 5000 redesign is finished, except for the textures, which I plan to start on this weekend, I am ready to start on the next fighter in the line. This fighter actually predates the 5000, the Splicer 2000 "Cutter." Now these are all supposed be modular designs so I am considering using the cockpit as a common module, though changes will be made to the exterior depending on how it is mounted and what is mounted to it, etc... This one is an interceptor, designed for high speed in and out slashing attacks, run in drop missiles and light torpedoes, maybe make one to two strafing runs then beat feet out of there. It does have a gun armament but unlike the 5000 it is secondary to the missile. Like I said I am considering using the same cockpit (with modifications) and a cranked arrow planform with forward canards and three big engines. It may or may not get the advanced engine type as the 5000. I appreciate any thoughts you all have on the design because as of now I am not sure how to proceed beyond the points I have listed. To see what it looked like before here is the original design.

The products of the last two redesigns together. I have no idea why the glass came out so frosted but I will work on that in the future.

Man the Last Starfighter is great how could they do this to it, what's next Buckaro Banzai the muscial?

Hey Doc Gonzo, if you want them I have some videos I shot recently on the Nimitz showing hornets landing and taxiing.

One more before bed, I altered the original just slightly, added a ripple and motion blur coming off the tail pipes to simulate moving, heated air, i.e. exhaust off the gravity engine. It is the only visible exhaust the engine produces, and outside of atmosphere that is gone.

Very Nice, can't wait to see more.

Third scene, not as good as the first, its a pain making the lights match up.

This one took a few tries before I got the lighting to look right to me, I think this will be my new desktop.

I made a couple scene renders. The first one came out iffy, see what you all think.

Well FSWs aren't for everyone, too unconventional, but I love FSWs. Any more comments?

From below and behind.

Man this thing hardly even needs texturing now but I applied a basic dirt map, any comments?

Another one, from beneath:

Ok some renders with it anti-aliased, it is so much better its not even funny.

People who have legos are some of the happyist people in the world I must say. Haterist are you still interested in building that custom you mentioned in the my redesign thread?

Oh duh, my bad, yeah I just checked I will make a render when I get home with the anti-aliasing on high, right now it is on miminal, oops. Hmm with how many lines are on there, should be interesting to see how long it makes the render take.

I would have to ask Kin, excuse a little ignorance, but what would that do for the render?

As if being riddled with a few dozen rounds of cannon fire isn't bad enough now they say the red baron died because of brain damage. http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/science/09/22...n.ap/index.html

woah, somebody needs a life.

Congrats Kev now prepare for years of chasing off would be suitors, lol.

One more and I am off to bed.

Couldn't sleep, here are a couple comparison shots, had a little bit of texture trouble when inserted but oh well. You can really see the difference between the two designs, almost like the difference between the breast fighter and the valk.
