3DThe "Old" model

mikala

Something I've been pluggin' away at on free time.

Capt Dave

Cool!

Fre'dni

Very nice. When you get finished, could you give a new rendition to the Cylon Raider fighter?

mikala

Thanks people.
It now has disco gonch!

Comco

Wow - He's looking great so far, mikala! Is this the original Cylon, or the "reimagined" old centurion from the new series?

mikala

Thanks. It's more of a reimagined model.

rduda

He looks mean, I like him!

Re-Reimagined

mikala

I'm thinking about doing this next.
The ol' guy needs a place to park his iron butt...
Hopefully I'll be able to realize it in a decent fashion.

mikala

Some work on the leg mechanics...

Randy Tjang

Any moving parts in there?

mikala

Hoses and pistons. Oh and of course the famous eye!

Randy Tjang

Seriously? I could never get the light just right... Can I see what you've got?

mikala

It is just a point light parented to a null set back far enough to match the arc of the front glass of the eye and the rear reflective backing geometry.

Jenny

I seem to recall that in the old raiders, the Cylon in the command seat, the rear third seat, was often gold-tone. You going to do that?

mikala

That would be the plan

Re-Reimagined

LOL. Fair enough. I was going to make some suggestions re: accuracy but if you're going for something along the lines of the re-imagined model than a dead-on accurate replica, it matters not. It still looks great.

mikala

There were some things I did not like in the one on the show.
Not that it was bad, just I did not like some parts. So I've made them as I would have liked to see them.
Please suggest away though. You may have something in mind that I might want to try instead.
Nothing is written in stone here. All just points getting pushed around
With that a last bit for the weekend.

mikala

Have feet,hands and a few odd hoses and I'll call this done.

acidstorm

nice. we'll have to see the trio sitting in a classic style raider.

mikala

Thank you and I guess it is a must do now.

acidstorm

Only if you want to.

mikala

What fan of the old show could resist doing such an iconic scene recreation.
No, no, it sounds like fun. Firstly though I must complete the meshes involved.,

mikala

Now with feet.

Randy Tjang

lol- hover feet...

mikala

Well Marty.... he is going BACK TO THE FUTURE!
I wonder what it would look like on a hover board?

mikala

A weapon for Ol Handless.

Jenny

Rather a longer barrel than the original, I believe?

mikala

Just a dressed up M60. I believe from the pic I found.

mikala

And the Cylon said " Look Number Six. No hands!"

Jenny

Oy! That weapon has a stock! Use it!
