Textures look great ! .. Nice job Terry ... :thumb:
Is there something planned for it later ?, ... I remember you working on a DS Trench Run (Ani) a while back, ... Maybe returning to that for close-ups ? ...
Right now it's the same wing and engine 4 times without the geo that makes each part distinct, but I do have those modeled and I'll swap those in once I'm happy with the overall texturing, etc.
Oooh nice image to wake up to. I might have to give you my current Star Wars ship design to texture when I'm done with it, as you'd knock it out the park and do a much better job of it than I going off this evidence, looks bleedin' awesome.
Thank you, you're all far too kind. Lot's to do, I want to get it all put together before I really go in and fine tune things. The "butt plate" should be done shortly, then it's on to the "droid strip" and R2.

@evil_genius_180: I think that's the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me lol
Uv'ing the "droid strip" now, amongst finishing about a hundred other things still left to do - I decided to do the styrene chips as geo, so, score one for the guys who thought that I should model panel lines
Wonderfully detailed and the weathering is superb stonky, only 2 things missing, a Tie fighter coming apart in its gun sights and some hot exhaust emissions but I know this is coming so I will just sit back and drool over the details again
Yes, engine exhaust/glow definitely coming, as well as some unfortunate TIE fighters. For the engines I'll take my cue from the movies (physical lights in the engines behind the heat sink detail, shot on a separate pass), so there won't be "exhaust" per se, the effect will be contained within the light hitting the interior of the engine can with some soft focus glow for good measure.
I'm almost done with the droid strip, and I've got those flap things that sit between the open wings where they meet the fuselage ready to go as well. Next is R2 I guess, and then I'll start to circle back and fix all of the annoying junk (styrene chips, replace the mirrored wings and engine cans with the real thing, pilot, shading and texturing tweaks/fixes, etc., etc.). Kind of carpet bombing the entire thing and then circling back once I can see it all together.

Yeah, I guess that animation was always the end game, there are a bunch of projects that I want to use it on.
Some VERY early wing work, lots of things that I need to fix/work on:

Yeah, what he said. :thumb:
This shot looks the absolute [insert British euphemisms that at first glance sound like "bad" but actually mean "good"].
LOL thanks!
Some more wing work (had to make some modeling changes, etc.):

I doubt that!
(and this xwing looks like its gotten the crap beaten out of it!)
LOL!
I should have a first go at the "butt plate" done tonight.

Wings and canons are still mirrored, and I haven't touched the "droid strip" or R2 yet (he's looking a little new at the moment
A little further away, for better context:

@stfanboy: thank you! Yeah, it's seen some things
@homerpalooza67: lol thanks!
@TALON_UK: thank you! It's been a lot of fun!

Thank you, great to see you around again!
Hey, you know I have always been a big fan of your work!:) And as such, I would like to say," keep it coming."
Yes, engine exhaust/glow definitely coming, as well as some unfortunate TIE fighters.

And then there's the variants.
