I knew about your Blackbird - great model! - but you did give me a nice surprise with your Armistice station :o

How many polys are both models so far?

I'll try and get some pics of the Armistice station in relation to the colonial shuttle I in order to give you a guide of its size..

How is this for a rought size comparison?

As this Station is going to take a lot of time to do I'm going to do some of the other ships as and when I can.

Keep your eyes peeled you might get another surprise :lol: :lol:

I-D

[Elffin]

I take that you've also made a model of the original shuttle mk I! :)

The station's coming along well O0

I'm afraid NOT :cry: I used Coxxon's Shuttle MK2 ( Only Model of his i have as a comparison ) As for the original shuttle mk1 You never know :wink:

I-D

[Elffin]

Just had a crisis of identity! :evil:

Edath has mutated into Elffin!

@Ice-Dragon I'm sure i've got a 3ds version of the TOS shuttle.. Doubt that its the correct size though...

Will e-mail it.

[Stevio]

@[s:6b16c641db]Edath[/s:6b16c641db] Elffin ha you nutcase :lol:

[Elffin]

[Ice-Dragon]

Elffin i told you you needed to keep your eyes open. :lol: :lol:

[Stevio]

stevio thinks of a dick darstedly way of slowing I-D down
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/77/Dickdastardly.jpg/250px-Dickdastardly.jpg

the one in the foreground i'd imagine
looks great I-D keep em coming :jump:

[Ice-Dragon]

you certainly are taking on alot of tasks

So you like it then, as for taking lots of thing on, well the Blackbird just needs texturing and the Colonial One needs a couple of tweaks and texturing.

The station is slowly coming on but that one is going to take time :cry:

I wounder what I'll do next :think:

I-D

[Elffin]

Nice work on Colonial one - I assume your is the more detailed one 8)

How about the Cylon freighter?

[Ice-Dragon]

Nice work on Colonial one - I assume your is the more detailed one 8)

How about the Cylon freighter?

Have you got any pics of the cylon Freighter? May be some from the TOS and the RDM if that possible.

A nice little Picture for you

I-D

[shadow3]

nice i also notice those stealth ship's :evil:

[Elffin]

Nice pic!

Here's the link...... Cylon Freighter - BSG-Depository (http://www.thexuniverse.com/viewtopic.php?p=25294#25294).

I've got the TOS Cylon freighter model as 3ds, its probably the one used by Hawkbs. But the new series one is nicer - only one pic atm.

By the way... I think I've got WJaspers VipermkVII in Max format as well. Its a very nice model.

[Ice-Dragon]

:jump2: :jump2: The Gemenon Traveller :jump2: :jump2:

I had a go at modeling The Gemenon Traveller so here it is:-

What do you think?

She sits at around 14,100 polys.

I-D

[Elffin]

Smashing work I-D! Keep the output flowing..... :wink:
Will you be attempting to texture the models yourself?

I haven't got a clue how to go about it :oops:

[Ice-Dragon]

Will you be attempting to texture the models yourself?

One day :wink: but at the moment i just want to get me modeling skills better and how knows there maybe a lot more ship in the process.

I-D

[Ice-Dragon]

She is currently sitting at around 7,500 polys at the moment.

Comments are welcome.

[Elffin]

Another great model :jump: !!!! - don't burn yourself out Ice-D (or should that be melt.?!.. :roll: )

Have you had a look at the one in BTRL? I sure some one told me that there was a tool available to extract models from Freespace engine, just to use the model as an image references of course.

Just had an idea - is it possible for you to amend your first post to display a gallery of all your ships/stations?

[Ice-Dragon]

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Stevio

small update.

I've been working on the cockpit it's not ready yet bet is getting there.
Elffin you asked if blender can do transparent panels ( yes ) just have a close look at the cockpit :lol:.

I-D

[Elffin]

Transparency works really well. Excellent work I-D

Can't wait to fly your Viper. :)

[misioooo]

misioooo... viper.... cylon invasion, khaak invasion or whatever...
Only one result - misioooo wins!

Cant wait to fly one of those. Great job guys! I am also waiting for BSG mod for OpenFreespace - but it looks like it will never be finished :/

[Stevio]

oooo nice

I-D have you worked on your texturing skills yet?

[Ice-Dragon]

oooo nice

I-D have you worked on your texturing skills yet?

I've Been trying BUT just can't get the hang of it :cry:


Cant wait to fly one of those
Can't wait to fly your Viper. Smile

Me to :lol: it's starting to shape up nicely now.

I'm starting to add in the maneuvering thrusters and some of the other detail I'll post some pics up when that's done.

I-D

[Wesley Franken]

He guys,

I have a idea :idea: , why don't you approach magrathean monkey from the X3 the reunion forum, I think he's one of the most gifted ship creators!!

Take a look at his fantastic work:

Greetings,
Wes

[Stevio]

I have a idea :idea: , why don't you approach magrathean monkey from the X3 the reunion forum

for what purpose?

[Wesley Franken]

For Creating possible more ships :? ,

I don't know how far you are with the Galactica mod.
It was only a idea :)

Wes

[Stevio]

I don't know how far you are with the Galactica mod.
quite a few of the bsg meshes have been modelled already :jump:

[Elffin]

Welcome Wes - nice to see your ideas.

Magrathean monkey seems to be very good. But I think he might be already involved in some capacity with XFP...
To be on safe side, I think that its better to stick to the policy that if someone wants to help that they post themselves and show us what they can do... similar to what Ice-Dragon has/is currently doing.

@Stevio - do you know how to go around to texture models? If you could, we could have a proper production line of BSG models!

[Stevio]

to some degree yes :lol:
but making textures themself i havent really mastered yet :oops:

[Ice-Dragon]

:jump2: :jump2: The Viper MKII :jump2: :jump2:

Here she is the Viper MKII. Modelling is more of less complat.

I would like to Know if everyone here would like to see a viper pilot placed in the cockpit?
Comments on this would be good.

I-D

[Elffin]

Top job I-D, O0

Dont forget to make a backup of everything!

P.S.
Just in case it appears that your the only one working - I'll be getting back to the music making when my holidays start! I'm a bit bogged down with work atm - 330 exam paper to mark and consequently 330 reports that need to be written! (got an inspection in the Autumn term as well!)

I have been playing around with some ideas for the Colonial Anthem.... to be released soon!

[Ice-Dragon]

Dont forget to make a backup of everything!
Done with out question. You don't think I'd what to have to redo them do you :wink:

[spoiler:d884e0c433] I'm not going to start it Modelling it yet but I have started to do some drawing's of a Battlestar / destroyer Hybrid but I'll get the rest of the fleet done first :wink:.[/spoiler:d884e0c433]

I say yes that would be very nice, you also see the pilots in the TV-series.

BDW fantastic model, I'm looking forward to fly the Viper :wink:

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Wesley Franken.
I think adding a viper pilot in would look good so I've added it to my list of things to do :wink:

[Elffin]

I'm sure Mox had a pilot in his viper screenshots...

[Ice-Dragon]

I'm sure Mox had a pilot in his viper screenshots...

He did, so I'll be adding in a pilot as soon as pos.

Been working on other ships at the moment, like the cylon raider.

still needs some work doing to it.

I'm hopping that once all the Fleet from the new series is done I might have a go at some of them from the old one.

ice dragon can you teach me how to model ships

Hi shadow3, I'm still leraning myself so the best thing I can do is to point you in the right direction.

First thing is you'll need a good promgram Like Blender (http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender)

And a tutorial like Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro)

Try them out and see how you get on

I-D

[misioooo]

I though you are using 3d studio or something? o.O Didn't realized Blender can be so useful!

And yeah! I am in Viper! New wallpaper - here i come! (unfortunately this is not my common avatar, my standard one wont fit here - few kb too much :( )
misio = teddy bear or nicely said bear (in polish)

Ice -Dragon has been working on another model in addition to the above...........

Please give us a hint! :evil:

(only 5 Posts away form the big 500!)

[misioooo]

Elffin you mean new model with teddy bear inside probably :D

Installing Lightwave 9.2 now and i will see if i can model anything more complex than a sphere... Or even sphere will be too complex for me :oops:

[Elffin]

@ misioooo
if you'd like to look at BSG models try these downloads... (Lightwave format)

http://www.lwg3d.org/v3/meshes.php?cat=11 Will you have a look if the Celestra's any good?

and a few more BSG models here..

Ice -Dragon has been working on another model in addition to the above...........

Please give us a hint! :evil:

Have you looked in the first post lately there might be a clue there :wink:

There are a couple of ships I'm trying to finish at this moment in time.
1- Cylon raider - just got the finish off redoing the wings.
2- Is the Gemenon Liner.
3- ? :evil:
4- ? :evil:

I'm hoping to have some of these done by the end of the weekend.

I-D

Elffin you just need two more posts to get the big 500 :D

[misioooo]

@ misioooo if you'd like to look at BSG models
I dont want to look - i want t fly them :evil:

Will you have a look if the Celestra's any good?
For me it looks great, but i dont pay attention to ships on the screen (in TV series) - i just enjoy it as whole, especially plot.

Now you may reply here to hit 499, right? ;)

[Elffin]

499 :)

I'd really like to fly em too! (the celestra model is only available in lightwave format - so I wondered if you could have a look at its quality as a model Missioooo

Do you think -Mox- will let me have a flyby around his Galactica if I reach 500? :roll: :P

[DarkWrath]

For BSG meshes keep an eye on the BtRL forum too... their new galactica looks great!

[misioooo]

Elffin i ended with Blender and 4D Cinema Studio on my rig, no Lightwave ;)
I am no modeler - just was curious how modeling looks like and wanted to try it ;) So really cant give you any constructive criticism beside "Wow, it looks awesome! Can i fly it when i hit 600? 8) "

[Ice-Dragon]

the celestra model is only available in lightwave format

MAY BE NOT :P :wink:
I-D

[Elffin]

For BSG meshes keep an eye on the BtRL forum too... their new galactica looks great!

Been keeping an eye on what they've been up to (Omni has now got a thread on sci-fi meshes) - Omniscraper's model looks very good - once he's done the texture it should look quite classy. Interesting that their game engines require 3 or 4 models to be produced - seems we have a better game engine to handle ship models efficiently


500 :jump: Officially a TXU Hero or a BSG nutcase! :idiot:

Elffin has good a look around and starts praying for a glimpse of the bucket!

Back on topic - just had a thought I-D, from what I've seen of Blender the program would really make excellent Heavy Raider models - there are a few pics of it in the depository which does include a rare zoic image.

Edit- looking forward to see your Celestra :)

[Ice-Dragon]

The Heavy Raider model is on my list but I need to get at least Cylon raider,
Astral Queen and Celestra Modeled first.

( BSG nutcase! :idiot: ) I think :P

I-D

[misioooo]

( BSG nutcase! :idiot: ) I think :P

[Elffin]

Cylon Raider = Thats now a pretty mean looking flying machine!. :evil:

BTW .. I was reading in posts in BTRL (as I do) Newman from sci-fi meshes has offered them his Viper..

anyway.... Have you had look at the official game models? very very low poly... your's just look so much better - even though their naked atm!


EDIT : Celestra + I-D = verrrrry nice!

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks man, i did have a look and I think some of the Model makers around here could give them what for :kapow: :kapow: :kapow:

[Ice-Dragon]

Here is a small up date on the Celestra. Juat add a little more detile to the underside.

Elffin You have mentioned to me about add more detail to my ships? What I was going to do was make basic models of the entire fleet and then go back and add a lot more detail to them, as for poly counts of the ships done here is a run down.

The Blackbird:- 4,020 polys
The Colonial One:- 8,600 polys
The Gemenon Traveller:- 14,100 polys
The Majahual:- 8,220 polys
Viper Mk 2:- 3,500 polys?
Cylon Raider:- 4,300 polys
Celestra:- 4,560 polys

I-D

[Elffin]

What I was going to do was make basic models of the entire fleet and then go back and add a lot more detail to them

Thought you were going to do that :wink: - I work in the same way - I can create the music quite fast - its the tidying up that takes up hours/days/weeks! Doesn't help changing programs and having to rebalance things - I should be back composing Monday evening hopefully.

Celestra - looks very nice indeed - that really is excellent work btw. O0

Would it be ok if I place the poly numbers next to the ships in your opening post?

[Ice-Dragon]

Would it be ok if I place the poly numbers next to the ships in your opening post?

I've Done it and added this one as well
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/th_BSGLiners.8.jpg (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/BSGLiners.8.jpg)
The Liner is more or less done, it just need the Radio antennas under the nose.
She Sits at around 7,600 polys and you can add another 700 for the Radio antennas on top so lets call it 8,300 polys.

I-D

[Elffin]

Ok! I-D.

Just wondering - have you had a go at doing the Ragnar Anchorage?

[Ice-Dragon]

I-D

[Elffin]

go on I-D... add the pics with the vipers!

[Ice-Dragon]

Because you asked so nicely I've add it in to the post above and in to my first post.
Thought you'd like to know that I've started a new long term project [spoiler:2ad733fd6b]Ragnar Anchorage [/spoiler:2ad733fd6b]

I-D

[Elffin]

:o [spoiler:d5f18c31eb]Ragnar Anchorage[/spoiler:d5f18c31eb] I have been waiting for this one for a while... :jump: - take your time though!

the BTRL pic I gave you is a pretty good model.

Thanks for adding the viper / colonial movers pic - shows that you are spot on scale wise!

[Syklon]

Wait, how long have you been modeling again ID? Some really nice work so far, can't wait to see the finished (textured :wink: ) products. O0

[Ice-Dragon]

the BTRL pic I gave you is a pretty good model.
I should have something that resembles that pic by tursday

Thanks for adding the viper / colonial movers pic - shows that you are spot on scale wise! No it just means that I know how to scale one model to fit another model in a rendered shot :P

Wait, how long have you been modeling again ID? Some really nice work so far, can't wait to see the finished (textured :wink: ) products. O0

Thanks Syklon, I've been using Blender for 3-4 months now and I still can't get the hang of texturing a model. I keep trying :oops: :cry:

I-D

[Mishra]

Then I'd spend some time on texturing if I were you, otherwise you'll never be able to finish a model. :wink:

In 3DMax you can use X3 materials for practise. Don't know if you can use those in Blender...

Nevertheless, nice job in the models so far I-D!! 8)

[Elffin]

There's few tutorials for blender here (but then you probably knew that!) :D

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/dojo/
and
http://blenderartists.org/cms/index.php?id=31

Looking forward to seeing Ragnar - its going to be huge!!!!

P.s. I you still have probs texturing - might be worth having a chat with MrSlinks or Sastrei on sci-fi (from homeworld BSG mod) I think Mr slinks textured Sastrei's Prometheus model (which was created in blender) Can't see any problems asking advice when the time comes, it might be beneficial to build bridges between BSG mods since were all trying to do the same thing!

[Mokonzi]

Nice work I-D. Very impressed. Can't wait to see them with textures on!

[Mishra]

Can these models be imported in 3dsMax btw? Otherwise it might be better to leave Blender and move to Max now

[Ice-Dragon]

Hi everyone thanks for all your comments. I have for the last 6 weeks read and tried out all the tutorials on texturing I could find but to no avail ( just don't under stand it. )

Hi Mishra Blender can Imported and Export 3ds files But not a 3dsMax file if that helps.
Here is a Comparison Chart (http://wiki.cgsociety.org/index.php/Comparison_of_3d_tools) of what blender and some of the most well known 3d modelling software can do.

Elffin I should have something on Ragnar Anchorage for you tomorrow.

I-D

P.S I've never been good with colours, even when I Draw in my spear time I only ever use black, white and all the shades of grey

[Ice-Dragon]

Elffin Here is the start of Ragnar Anchorage :D

Looks very good I-D - can't wait to fly my viper through its rust ridden rings! :lol:

[Ice-Dragon]

Hi all A small up date on the viper MKII I've gone back to add some more detail to it.

Looking good Ice-Dragon :)

[BRA'TAC]

sup everyone

great work I D, looking forward to flying your creations, even old smiley can't wait to hop into your viper. I get my copy of X3 reuion in a week or so at the moment i'm playing X2 the threat No BSG mods for it :cry:
I'm a noob to this type of game, wish i had found it earlier, but 2 years ago i was playing BHD and BF2 8-10 hours a day online. So i have left the battlefield on earth and now entering a career in space, hopefully cruisin around in a viper :evil: keep up the greatwork, not just I D's work but everybody who is working on BSG mods. chow for now.

[Elffin]

any updates I-D?

Your revamped Viper / Ragnar Anchorage looks good on Sci-fi meshes.

Hey I-D. I did not get texturing at all at first, just couldn't wrap my head around it. I understand it now though :) It just seems like too much work! This tutorial really helped me out -

Hi guys, I think it is about time I updated this thread.

so here we go.

Here is the Colonial Gunstar:-

These are all still WIP'S

I-D

[Elffin]

Nice work indeed! Athena looks really promising. :)

[Stevio]

Flattys looks to be a great start O0

[bojan]

Hi!

You guys are amazing; you made some really promising models.

I would like to comment the Colonial Gunstar model. This model doesn’t
fit into BSG world – style is completely different. From the strategic point
of view is useless because wouldn’t bring anything new. A squadron of fighters easily kills one big ship with many guns.

I think you should concentrate your efforts in missing link between a
fighter and a battlestar. A Cygnus model is a good example.

Keep the good work!

[Elffin]

Thanks for the pointers Bojan... the main purpose of the ship is to bridge the gap between fighters and Battlestars and is basically a support ship. As with the Galactica - 200 incoming raiders certainly be a big challenge... but this ship would be probably be faster and could be employed in groups in an more offensive capacity agains't larger craft such as basetars.. Since its also got a landing bay it might be also be used as a base for raptor recon?

http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/ColonialGunship.14.jpg
Just to give you an idea of 'what lies beneath.

Btw are your referring to the Cygnus design on si-fi meshes?

[bojan]

Hi!

I was mislead by the photo I saw on previous post posted by ice-dragon.
There you could see Gunstar with many cannons. You also get an impression
that the size is similar to battlestar. I also asked myself how would he fit
so many turrets in X3 space?

Your photo shows a different story - an M7 size gunship with 8 turrets.
This is o.k. and it should fill the gap between fighters and big guns. But
by my humble opinion the visual style of this model doesn’t fit into BSG
space –you took the turrets from a battlestar and you put them on a hull
that doesn’t fit into BSG space. And I also wonder how will you make all
those small turrets working in X3?


Yes I was referring to the Cygnus on si-fi meshes. I don’t know how the
things go about copy protection and authorization, but the model is
awesome.

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/meshes/index.php?dlid=126

You can see all over the internet many rumors about a submarine size warship named Demetrius that will be introduced into season 4.

Hi I have been updating my viper MKII.

Here is a pic of it so far.

There is still some work to on her and I'll get round to that over the next couple of days.

[Elffin]

Very nice work I-D O0
Really like the attempt at the small details - keep it up.

And the poly count is at a very respectable level too :)

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Elffin.

[apollo]

Yeah, defo looks good! And I have no idea how you keep the polys down..

[Ice-Dragon]

Hi Guys I have been having a rebuild of the Celestra and thought you might like to see.

Here you go.

Truly excellent work I-D...

Think we should also remind people of the models you've also made displayed in your opening post (http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/showpost.php?p=46030&postcount=1)

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Elffin.

It still needs a little work but I'm hoping that I'll have time this week to do some more to it.

[Ice-Dragon]

Hi everyone :wave:

Here is a little something that I have been working on.

The Battlestar Athena.

The poly count on this ship is around 96,000 poly's

I hope you all like it.

Comments are welcome.

[D!S7RUG@7OR]

Hiya Ice-Dragon :wave:,

Awesome stuff you're doing around here mate and all models who are created by you are stunning :shock:
Keep up the fantastic work you are doing m8 :grin:

Hi guys,

I decided t dig up my old thread for a pic I have done.

This pic has all the ships I have finished modeling over the last 9 months.

Hi guys
This ship is not for the mod so I'm posting it in here:)
I have been working on the TOS Battlestar Galactica.

here are two renders for you to have a look at.

Lookin' nice, ID!! Not a huge fan of the original series, but still awesome job!

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks mate.

[Elffin]

Nice work I-D ... though might be nice as an XSP add on perhaps? :)

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Mate,

Depends on how many people would want it;)

here is a small update for you.
I have now started to detail the head section
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/TOS%20Big%20G/th_TheTOSBigGpic9.jpg (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/TOS%20Big%20G/TheTOSBigGpic9.jpg)

The poly count is now 63,427 it's slowly creeping up:lol:

Comments are welcome.

[ML]

Is it gonna have the basestar killing main laser gun? :lol:

[Ice-Dragon]

well the ship will have the 4 main guns.

I haven't had much time to work on this so it's only a small update today
I have been working on detailing the top of the head section, I now think it's starting to look good
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/TOS%20Big%20G/th_TheTOSBigGpic10.jpg (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/TOS%20Big%20G/TheTOSBigGpic10.jpg)

If I have some more time today I'll do the hangar pods arms

[ML]

Oh, look at the rump on that thing! :shock:

Looking forward to further updates, Ice. ;)

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks mateO0

[Ice-Dragon]

I have now finished building The TOS Battlestar Galactica

The poly count on this is 96k so I guess I can make it for under 100k:p

[Quasar]

excellent work m8! :)

[Wesley Franken]

Whoe!! I can't wait, this question maybe silly and take no offence, but why isn't the mod ready yet??? It has been a while since you started, isn't?

@ Ice-Dragon
The ship looks great imo , respect!!

Greetz from your neighbour, The Netherlands

I't not a silly question, As fans of the show we want to make sure we get all the ships looking just right, so it is going to take a little time to do that, but don't worry it will be worth waiting for;)

[ML]

Plus, the show is still running so it can't exactly get finished yet.

[apollo]

Amazing work I-D!

[Ice-Dragon]

Here is a new fleet pic I thought you might like to see.

Hi guys:wave:

I have had a go at building my own Battlestar Galactica:grin:
it's still a wip but it is 90% done:) I'll be redoing the Battlestar Athena after I finish the Galactica;)

here is a quick render for you

[apollo]

NICE! What's the poly count on that bad boy ;) ?

[Elffin]

112K polys in Blender - but ID has a plan to make it even less

[Ice-Dragon]

Well here it is The Battlestar Galactica :grin:
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/Battlestar%20Galactica/th_BattlestarGalacticaMKIpic3.jpg (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/blender%20ships/BSG/Battlestar%20Galactica/BattlestarGalacticaMKIpic3.jpg)

The poly count is just under 135k:shock: I was hoping it would be lower but with all the detail on this ship it's no wonder it's over the 100k mark;)

I'll post up more views of this ship tomorrow;)

Comments are welcome.

[Elffin]

I have been looking at the poly count and it is now down to 130,490 polys

[apollo]

Really nice work I-D! And great work on the poly count!

[Elffin]

Time for me to change my desktop background again :lol:

Any progress on the landing decks? 8)

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks apollo & Elffin

The landing decks have been kitted out but I don't have any pics to show you.

I have now redone the Battlestar Athena ( the armor is different from how I had the old one but I like the new better:lol: )
Here is a render for you:)

Here is a render of both my new Battlestars Athena & Galactica.

[apollo]

Looking great! On the Athena, in the middle section where it's one large plate (on Galactica it's ribbed), in between the flight pods, I'd maybe break of that one large plate into several smaller ones, it looks a bit too uniform imo. But loving it still!

[lostami]

If only this mod was reality LOL.

But as they say, "waiting makes it all the sweeter"
Tho that don't mean you can slow down!!! Lol

[Ice-Dragon]

Thanks Apollo & lostami
