Description This is loosely based on the Vipers from Battlestar Galactica just as a rough reference. I'm going to have a go at texturing it but I have no idea how that will turn out.

Thanks

Is this a paper model?
If so, do you still have the plans for it? Id love to get them if its for 1:48 scale

Nice work and incredible detail

Thanks. It is not paper however. It is a digital 3D model created in Blender

Thats not entirely bad news haha...
have you considered unfolding it into a 1:48 scale paper model? haha
Great work in any event, and very convincing

I still fail to understand how people can procure such amazing models.

Good model. There exists a very detailed tutorial for a Viper. It is rather old and is meant for Lightwave, but it was excellent. I'll give you the ref, provided I'm able to retrace it.

Thanks. I didn't want to recreate a Viper by any means I was just using it as a starting point for my own design.

I like it. I like the lighting setup aswell, although it is temporary.

Classic retro look to the canopy and I particularly like the detailed work on the engine exhaust.

Looks like a beefy viper. I like the facet-look as well!

Nice neat modeling, the faceted look gives a paper-craft feel that I like

If it's a space fighter,why does it have wings?

TangoOscarMik3 In reply to MIFFthemorfin [2012-03-06 21:41:56 +0000 UTC]

I did think about this but I thought that stylistically it looks much better with them. Also I could say that they are for entering atmosphere around a planet where aerodynamics have relevance (not that a space fighter would often be required to do this).

MIFFthemorfin In reply to TangoOscarMik3 [2012-03-06 21:50:37 +0000 UTC]

haha then I would assume it would have to hover to land properly. VERTICAL THRUSTERS!

I really like that design, the engines at the back are just awesome. I wanna sketch this now.
