Interesting details on the model though Griff. Funnily enough though I think your model looks even better!

it's a lovely model, but i hope that's not how they're going to texture it for Elite 4, it looks like it's made out of bits from a castle wall. I can't wait to see what the Frontier artists come up with for Elite 4, i'm convinced that Braben and his team are going to make a masterpiece with that game, he knows what he's doing, as an aside, i read that the next issue of retrogamer (not the one in the shops now) is going to have something about him in it, might not be Elite related though, could be about that virus2000 game he made.

Dunno... it could well be from Elite IV.. I've enlarged the Firebird and touched up the gamma a little, and it doesn't look quite like any Elite logo I've seen before.. similar yes, but that head doesn't look quite right to me.. see what you think.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Greetings all,
That would be the one I made for someone at Frontier Developments.
The dimensions were taken from a paper model, transferred to plastic sheet and then built on from there.
The Firebird is a painted metal casting, it's been mentioned in one of the threads on this forum.
I have no idea if it's going to be used for anything, I just build 'em and that's about it
Go easy all.

And of course : "Welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat(tm)" as nobody else has mentioned it...
Nice model - as others have said...
(and secretly they're all thinking, "I wonder how much he charges?" )
