There is still some modeling work to do on her but it's coming along nicely now.

Comments are welcome.

Looks good, as you say it still needs a little bit of work to be done. :)

Thanks Guys

I should have finished modeling this soon.

[StormSinger]

Great base to detail. Nice work.

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks StormSinger.

Here an update for you to look over:D

I have now added all the windows in and the detailing bit at the top front of the ship, Glad that bit is over:jump: still a little bit more detailing to do.

Wonder if people would like more than 1 texture?

Found some work on sci-fi meshes....

Nice work I-D! Extra textures might make good filler ships pre-attack (you know...if there is a pre-attack part of the mod. - I ain't givin away nothing ;) )

[StormSinger]

Don't wonder, people like options, go with it. Looks great with the textures.

The textured version shown is Coxxons.

[StormSinger]

I didn't miss that. The other model looks good with an alternate color scheme, so would I-D's if more were offered.

[ML]

apollo, if "you ain't giving away nothing", then you are giving away something. :)

Looking good. Like the red vipers too looks like the Red Arrows almost.

the extra textures is a good idea, its what Coxxon did with the passenger liners just added extra textures which gave me a few extra ships for my xsp's.
The first Viper 7 i did for X3 had two textures also one the default colour scheme and the other was the colour scheme of the MK 2 Vipers. Some people liked both others liked the default grey/blue and some liked the red/white option.
Also whenyou really think about it Colonial One cant have been the only model of that shiptype, much like Airforce One isnt the only 747-400. The more texture options you have the better imho.

BTW did you manage to figure out where the heck a viper or shuttle might land on it as I couldnt when I modded Coxxons meshes.

[Elffin]

Nice to see you back Hawk!
Once one set of textures are done I'll try and make variations.
Must say I had lots of fun making our Viper MKII into different colours..

Yes your right regarding the docking bay entrance - its never been shown in the series.. so I suppose it gives us the free to place it anywhere!

[ML]

Same thing with the Demitrius. It shows where the vipers land but not how the pilots actually get into the vipers.

[Ice-Dragon]

there is a large docking hatch on the underside of colonial one

see pic ( hatch mark buy red outline )
