Ok, take two on the Sentinel's solar collectors...
Upped the scale of the wings by 10% - any bigger and I run into problems which would require new wings (not a deal breaker). Still exploring this. Comments and the like welcome, more later :-)
The watcher in the tower... Waiting, hour by hour...

Updates - I got rid of the pearlescent effect, which wasn't doing it for me, and gone back to the original textures. Added a little more detail to the hull, and I am happy with where this is at. With the addition of the solar collectors the wings feel like they have a purpose finally;
Comments always welcome, more later!
Going to side step this project for a moment, and then come back to it - watch this space, things are about to get "retro"

Updates - refined the mesh. Not much in reference material to go, the whole ship only really appears in one episode before it crashes, but trying to capture as much as possible:
Ignoring the "modern" iterations/versions of the Arc in favour of how it originally appeared. Originally created a version of this for Bridge Commander - but it was one of the works I lost, so hence the rebuild. Not sure if I will port it over to that game.
Anyway, comments and the like welcome... More later :-)

Ok, I think I've said Happy 40th to Transformers in the best way I can... So back to the main coal face, and finishing off this beauty:
Minor bug fixes, added the last of the logos and reg tags, spotlights and glows:
Current orthos - still needs the inside of the hanger, and some sort of landing craft. The Sentinels are a little too big for this ship, so something smaller... something short-range... And after that? A ship or two that this this beaut would defend against!
More later :-)

And the next question - to have a pearlescent sheen, or not?
That I can switch off easily!
Comments welcome, more tomorrow!

Need to thin out the body a bit more and work on the nose, but the basic bones are in.

FX added:
And that leads finally to this:
Couple more images I want to create, including the one where the ships are linked up, and the I'll dive into something else...
