Hello! I'm Howard Day. Some of you might remember some of my previous work.
Anyhow, this is my 5th model made with 3DSMAX3. I'm getting almost as good at that proggie as at PovRay.
Some of my insirations are Silpheed, Wingcommander, and the 08th MS Team.
Some of you might remember the Power Cylinder idea. If not its those 8 glowing green things on the underside.
Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress. I'm not done. 
Hope you enjoy this! |

| Looks good, nice and cleanly done. I see some color, but I'd like to see more color variation in the textures. Maybe make the wear and tear more thoughtfully laid out. All in all, great work! |

Heh. I'm going for a military spacecraft. Not a Christmas tree. Ever see a F-22 or F-18? No color variation at all. Crests on the tail fins and numbers on the wings. As for the wear and tear - you're right. I'll probably do that last, though.
Thanks again for your comments! |

That's tight.
And anyone who mentions Silpheed gets bonus style points from me. |

Thats a pretty slick design you have there. I take it the weapon below the main body is supposed to some mega particle cannon?
No crits on the textures, I like what you have already. However I hope your planning on adding missiles or some short range weaponry. That thing would be a sitting duck without them |

Here's the almost final version. A few more adjustments and I'll be done. Enjoy!
Opinions? Comments? Flames?
Oops. |

| Thanks. as for the "Power Rods" (heh, those 4 things in back), I think they look OK. I'm probably gonna have to beef-em up, though. Any other suggestions? |
