Cool. I like the engines.

Thanks. They're the latest twinned Ferris Mk III thrusters with fully integrated Q-Injectors. Hopefully the Cheetah hull can take the strain of those two beauties firing at full throttle.

Back to the original ships now, with the Moray Star Boat up next...

Also very cool! . The ship and the naval engines. Question. Are you modeling a whole own version of the original shipset or do you model the ships you like and mix them with a few of your own designs and release that as a separate oxp?

Love to see them textured too!

Hoping to model all the original ships, as well as some extra ones of my own which I'll release separately - eventually :) Textures will probably take me a while!

Decided to drop my previous model of a thargoid drone fighter (which may well become a ship for another alien race instead) and go back to the original mesh more... as well as a new thargoid Warship. The Drone, Invasion Ship and Warship now preparing to strike terror into the galaxy...

They'll probably let you have a tonne of cuddly toys just for visiting the showroom ...

just had a thought, for some textures you could set up a competition "who can texture this the best", there hasn't been a competition in ages.

Didn't we have the Alien Items book cover comp two weeks ago? (although that theoretically ran for over a year)

Heh... I just pulled into Maraus, checked the shipyard, and found nineteen Ferdies for sale... and one Anaconda!
That reminds me of when I lived in Hong Kong. If you bought a local paper and went to the used car section, it was full of hundreds of Mercades Benz. Almost no other cars at all. Very strange.

Redone Fer-de-Lance, cleaned it up considerably from the mess of lines previously...

Asp Mk II...

Python...

and Transporter...

Think that leaves me with just the Anaconda and the two Boa's for the Standard ships. :)
