I agree with biotech. It's looking fantastic, so why not show it off with some nice big renders. You don't really need to show the references anymore at this stage.
Sorry for the lack of updates, ... been busy with stuff outside this project ... but to kick-start the thread again, I've done a quick compact update showing renders that are about 7 weeks old, ... just to show some progress done back then ... The renders have intentionally been kept small since this is only, what I'm calling the Pre-Build, as prep for the High detail version ....
So take this update as just roughing it out, .. the real fun begins with the hi-res version, where accuracy and the finer details will be seen in larger renders ....
I've also started work on the hi-res Alpha Jet, which I'll post some renders of soon, ... Those will give a better idea of where I'm taking this project with regards to detail ....
Such lovely details. Loving all the little girders and struts you have in there! The undercut section will likely be a complete mare, as all the windows have rooms clearly visible inside! FUN!
Wow, another reason to eagerly check back on Sci fi Meshes on a daily basis Bah, need to make time for a new project, seeing this sort of stuff gets my 3d juices flowing (oo-er)...
Updates are a bit slow at the moment, due to other things I've got going on, ... Also, working on multiple models at the same time for the Helicarrier, ... so there'll be various things posted, sometimes the actual Helicarrier, and other times will be assets for it, such as this update, showing part of the Hi-Res Alpha Jet being built ...
Nice! I f you're applying this level of detail to the whole project it is going to be a sumptuous end product indeed, and I suspect it'll be well worth the wait.

Wow, she's coming along very nicely. I reckon you could put some textures on what you have so far and (in views of the top at least) it'd already be hard to distinguish from the movie model.
Yeah, the Landing Gear pic is only to show where I'm taking the project with detail level ... so there's going to be plenty of close-ups down the track ...
Indeed, going to be an immense project, just imagining the whole Hellicarrier with this sort of level of detail is just mind blowing. How many tris/polygons are in this landing gear alone?

You've put a lot of hard work into this, but you are not showing it off as well as you could.
IMO.
Just can't understand why we haven't gotten an official, good-looking toy or model of this yet.
The scale looks a tad off....
That's just... ewwww!

That last wip rendering, presented as it is, makes me think it was made to be put in a magazine, like 3d world mag, for example.
And check this out
No, really.
Sweet work as always. Nice to see you back and progressing with it!
Really loving the level of detail on this.

Got back to the Alpha Jet Front Landing Gear recently to finish that, along with a few adjustments here and there ... so new renders done (below) ....
