That's one explanation.. the other is that I noticed something going on in the cockpit of of one of Cody's posted screenshots, so I zoomed in for a better look, and found I really had seen what I thought I saw..

Blimey! Just him and his cat ...I daren't look
(Sorry Cody )

No no, just the cat and his human... 'twere ever thus with felines! They own us!

These look really great Redspear, and absolutely fantastic for a first foray into 3d modelling, I could just do wonky looking cubes and horrible mashups of spheres and pyramids for months and months when I was first starting to tinker with 3d

That is so weird the face in the window of the cobraIII, I swear it's just a bit of a rusty metal grime texture from a free texture collection stuck into the glow map to add a bit of dirt

That must have been about a million years ago judging by your current stuff
Actually, I've got an idea/request for you but that's for another thread perhaps...

Meanwhile, I can't decide if this is my best or my worst model so far...

I think you've got me there Cody

Redspear: Your models remind me of the sprites I used to design on my C=64. Lots of bas-relief to emphasize the shape.

I like them a lot.

That's more than a face, mate..there's a full figure and more, in there. Here's what I see when I look at it.. I've outlined the various items in different colours to make them easier to recognise.

Instruments/equipment - Yellow
Pilots seat - Green
Pilot - Red

My opinion?

VERY sexy!

I see this fellow in Griff's Cobby 3 cockpit:

I reckon he's got a beard - Riker-style, perhaps?

Definitely bearded... A very Roguish fellow. The kind who often finds himself in trouble with the authorities.

So that's what it's called (I genuinely didn't know ). I'm glad one of us knows what I'm doing
Thanks for the encouragement

Always welcome, seldom heard
Thank you

In other news...

Rather than draw the edges (badly) I've tried to draw around them... (again, badly )



Admit it Griff! You're a bit of a genius

My spare time is currently quite limited, but another facelift is on it's way . Don't hold you breath though, it might take a while.

Re-textured from Dertien's Puma Clipper.

Looking goodie goodie Spara, nice one!

When I first looked at it I saw "ARS" on the ship to the far left (sorry, I expect I'll grow up one day )

Nice retexture of a nice model.
Very much appreciate all the facelifts and docking tunnel stuff that you've been working on spara

Does this look like a Fer-de-Lance to you or have I gone completely bonkers?

I'm afraid there are a few more where that one came from, if anyone wants to see them. Mostly the same types Redspear seems to have been working on, oddly enough.
