Selezen, I don't know how you work so quickly!
I'm STILL working on the Anaconda. Progress is slow as usual but here's a quick work in progress.

I was thinking when this is done it would be easy to change the colour as well as add on other peoples' logos. So it'll be "Your Anaconda Company Logo & Colour here.OXP!!"

Note that I've also changed the texture of the window panes slightly.
Darn, I like! :)

I'm only worried that these dark models will not really show up too well in-game with a dark background... :?

Update: Viper preview: no weathering or serious detail yet.

I like the look of this one. The one on the left is the police ship, and the one on the right is one available to the public market.

Wow, these ships look awesome. Love the look of the Viper, and it finally gives it the sense of scale as described in Game Manual.

Keep up the ace work.

Damn!! :shock: :D

Great work guys! 8)

I think I'll stick to my own projects - this is soooo much better than anything I was contemplating ( a quick makeover )

Keep it up.

Thanks guys - it's your kind words that give me the incentive to keep banging away at this.

I was going to wrap up all the base textures in a zip file and make them available so that you can add some textures to the pack. Interested?

P.S. Viper has weathering and scratches - just need to do some warning signs and surface detail and it's ready to roll.

Or ready to float, as the case may be. :-)

Right, the Viper family is done: your basic Viper in both civilian and Police markings, including the fearsome Viper Interceptor for the more gung-ho cops:

Been a quiet day, and the Sidewinder is a fairly simple ship, so here's the finished new version.

that would make it about 9.6metres long (wide)
and about 6metres wide max.
