Been a bit quite of late due to my birthday and other things.

Anyway, here's a quick update. Done some of the detail on the side and the guns as you can see below.

The whole thing in it current stage duplicated.

Still not sure how I have kept my motivation up but it's still there. Just hope it will last the duration.

Fingers crossed.

Well I was thinking of doing a little TIe and an X-Wing to fly around.

Instead of shoving it in the showreel and risk making it look out of place or not giving it enough exposure im going to make a little movie of it with fighters doing their bit.

Should be fun, I would be interested in seeing a pic of your TIE though?

my god, where do you find the time to live the other half of your life, is there another half; this would take me a year (if I could do it at all) man one day you will succeed in your dreams, they won't always be dreams, one day when you least expect.., reality and you'll be working in the field big time, you deserve it. user added image

take it easy and life will be easy
