Thanks everyone! Here's a quick animation of the Imperial Nebulon deploying some fighters into battle!

Slowly adding details to this monster. I love her and I hate her!

Also working on an Imperial version with extra hull plating inspired by the original Lucasfilm concept sketches from the ESB Sketchbook.

She started life as the BF2 model but we're a couple of zillion polygons beyond that now

Still lots of details and textures to come, especially on the drive section and spine.

She's not 1000% screen accurate, but I'm happy so far with the general shape and detail blocking. Hope you like it!

Forgive me for starting a new thread, but I thought this warranted one. Greeble factory output is at 100%!!

Hope you guys like it, it started by being fun, then exhausting, now I'm pushing through exhaustion back into the fun zone.

Sitting at around 43K polys in Modo right now. Not bad, really, for a guy who works mostly in textures. Man, I love this stuff.

Thanks guys, the Fat-Fury is done!

The SA-66 "Super StarFury" was designed as a replacement for the venerable SA-23.

Engineers at Mitchell-Hyundyne, eschewed the deep-atmosphere capability of the Thunderbolt in favor of a new reaction engine system supplemented by gravitic and magnetic technology gained from the Interstellar Alliance.

The SA-66 had nearly three times the acceleration capabilities of an SA-23E, supplemented by a gravitic compensation system that allows Super Star Fury pilots to endure much greater G-Forces.

"Fat-Furies" served in limited numbers during the Drakh crisis, and went on to become the mainstay of the Earth Alliance fighter force until they were supplanted by the Lock-NorGrum FG-2 in the late 2290s, marking the end of the StarFury line.

SA-66A BuNo. 64-1049 Was delivered to Earth Alliance Transfer Station Europa in 2265. Damaged by Lumatti raiders during the Hustler Incident, it was remanded to the EarthForce Technical Institute on Luna. It served as a crew and maintenance trainer until being donated to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum in 2282, having never fired a shot in anger.

Length: 10.9 M
Width: 13.0 M
Height: 7.18M

Engines: 4 X 4 Beigle-Bryant/Stalasha BBS-100 Gravitic Particle Thrust Engines
Armament: 1 X GG21 Pulse Cannon
2 X PDW-21 Point Defense Laser Turrets
12 X Hard Points for external armament

Rudimentary launch bay.

Thanks guys!

There is space for around 60-100 strike craft in the main launch bay and the hangar deck below (blue). For a size comparison, the bays are about 300 m long, about the size of a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, and a like number of planes. I'm keeping the upper topside "deck" forward of the conning tower reasonably clear of greebles so it can also act as an area for staging shuttles or marine dropships or whatever.

Portside, there are four launch bays which can be accessed from the main launch bay or by the hangar deck via elevator. This means you can launch fighters from the side bay while still recovering in the main bay. There will be other elevators around the hangar deck which provide normal access to the hangar bay as well.

There is also a large cargo door portside for underway replenishment or corvette docking. I've also added sliding blast doors to cover the windows during combat.

Still greebling, and added some procedural textures for visualizing final texturing. I'm now working on the engine area.

Thanks for the compliments guys, the original is also done!

More details here and there, re-worked the tines in the back of the engines, and started hanging ordinance and drop-tanks everywhere. Nothing like a visible warhead (or 6!) to show you mean business.

Not sure if this is a reboot or a far distant sequel

Based somewhat on the newly found Starfury concept art by Steve Burg. Just a "relax after work" project, not trying to duplicate the concept art 100% or anything, but it's fun to steal elements from the masters!
