I hope I get this model finished, cause this is the farthest I've ever gotten with a model... I tend to give up too easily user added image

Thanks guys, you really make me wanna finish it (you, and the fact that the tut cost me 55 points user added image

, so I definetly will!

Just 2 more days and I'm off to great music, great times, lots and lots of beers, drunken swedes and, most likely, shitty weather at this year's Roskilde Festival user added image

I also plan on dropping by TrueMAX, a danish animation school in Copenhagen one of the days, just to stay a little on-topic user added image

Keep it up! Seems tedious at parts but you can definately finish it in style. It was the 1st model i truly took to a sense of completion. But be warned....it makes you only hungry to do more models. Have fun and enjoy the rest of the tutorial.

Hey wonderful work.. something I saw on someone elses work from the tutorial, the PNVS turret, round disk thingie on top of the nose, needs to be WAY bigger.. it should be almost as big around as the Drum (TADS Nightside/Dayside) below it.. basically almost twice as large in diameter, the bump on top of it is the housing for the elevation mirror inside and it should be a little flatter (about 2/3 the height)..
