So guys another model almost done and this one is my very first fighter Named the "Serenity Starfury" no it has nothing to do with babylon 5 however and this is where it gets a little interesting

one day i was replacing cockpit textures on a thunderbolt starfury a x-wing and a old bsg viper
making them more see through which would hopefuly get reflected ingame :)

and suddenly i started wondering what would they look like as one ship

this is how it went

    Kitbashing is a fine old tradition among model makers, and this one you're putting together is kick ass. Keep at it!

    well its nice to see positive comments like the ones you guys left and as for this unholy hybrid of awesomeness it has a few updates now :)

    i finally added the cockpit canopy the land gear and a laser gun in the style of a minigun for alittle fun hehe

    still wanting more i plan to add some details on the back section on top and on the back faces of the main body, missle launchers or rocket pods will be added when i decide where to put them and in due time i will be adding a detailed cockpit anyhow heres some renders to drool over :)

    First of all, nice work!

    I like you missile launch system, but judging from the previous renders and the last one, aren't the missiles kinda thin? Comes across to me that judging from the cockpit size they are the size of thick brances, which is kinda thing for a missile from my point of view :)

    the last render shown is the rocket pod, as most know these rockets are usually unguided and therefore dont need to be very large i've been working on the missiles and just have to add there support hopefully they'll be a little more to scale will drop a render in later for your C&C

    :edit: added the renders let me know what you think

    nice from the looks of it, those engines seem to move positions alot in ya renders, are they on movable arms for different configurations?

    Nice design overall, however I'd say the missiles detailing needs a bit more work maybe a smoothing group on them to make them a little less flat, granted smooth objects do have problems in renders with been seen, however I believe this can be fixed with use of lighting or finer detailing.

    to answer the question yep the engines are on movable wings only has 3 positions closed halfway and open

    closed = closer to wing this is mainly for landing the fighter
    midway = for extra control when docking in a space station
    open = maximum control

    also they can be left closed resulting in less drag , as for the missiles they are prime dummy models i'm concentrating on detailing the cockpit next and as the missiles are basicly fire and forget didnt see much point in over cooking them :)

    okies been abit busy recently had a little spare time today and started on the cockpit

    let me know your opinions and what kind of layout would best suit this small space

    joystick between the legs or joystick on the right with the power controls on the left ??

    anyhow here the render of the cockpit seat setup

    Looks like it could be used as part of a "Last Starfighter" prequel/sequel. Sweet. I loved that movie & I've been waiting for the studios to delve more into that story.

    sorry its been so long off the thread but i went and lost this model and quite a few others to a damn virus i've got back up and running again but the serenity starfury will be remade in a few weeks i've also learnt some new tools in max since reinstalling it so there may be a new design overall

    again i apologise for being off the grid for so long hope i can still keep this one interesting
