Good evening.
For those of you who might remember from the old F3D days, each time I would finish a 3D model I would create a recognition sheet with all the stats and background info for that vehicle. Well, I'm in the process of updating all the ones that I've made so far and want to upload them here as well.
First up is the Horatius.
Every now and then I'll post an update here, and as I
(hopefully) roll out a new model in my other thread, I'll create an info sheet for that vehicle. The hard part is making the 2D ortho views shown in the bottom panels as technical illustrations. It was/is a long tedious process, so it takes awhile to produce one of these....but it's worth it.

Found a faster method for making the ortho views so I'm on a roll. Unfortunately, still can't avoid loss of details when resizing them, but have to make do.

* 2nd Edit. Oops, just noticed I left out the vehicle cost. Fixed now.

I made a few minor changes, but mostly it remained the same.
I figured out how to export better line drawings from Rhino for the schematic panels, so I was able to bump up the resolution for these. I also went back and edited the previous sheets....because I'm a perfectionist.
Thanks
This is the last of these for awhile, until I complete some more models.
Because I did all that work on the Romulus variant/upgrade, I thought I might as well do a recognition sheet as well.
If you will note, I placed an asterisk in the name plaque since this version of the APC is just a computer model (wink wink) and no physical prototypes were ever built, which I mentioned in the overview. I also placed an asterisk next to the main laser in the weapons column. Plans were to upgrade the 5/6 laser to a 7.5/6, but since the program was eventually scrapped, it never got that far and the original 5/6 is still shown in the vehicle images. (The truth is I just got lazy and didn't feel like making a new one).
It's too bad actually. I really believe that if this new APC had made it to the field, it would have been an excellent partner to the Horatius MK III!
As I mentioned in my main thread, this is the last of the TOG grav vehicles that I plan to model, so I hope you all have enjoyed them so far.
The focus now is to finish up the Renegade tanks and APCs.
Thanks srspicer.
I have many more to do and I have to admit that I've been neglecting the "good guy" vehicles. So it's time to rectify that!
