Looking good, bro. The only nitpicky thing for me is the lighting. Since we can see the light source, we know its direction. And, knowing where the light is coming from, there's no way those models are being lit that much by those two stars.

On the extremely rare occasions where I make people, that's how they are too. Not to be seen up close.

They always reminded me a bit of the A-Wing from Return of the Jedi. The lines are different, but the overall layout of the ships and the proportions are similar. Not a trivia fact, just a statement.

Nice work, Taranis. I wish it was a bit larger. so I could use it as wallpaper, but I always say that.

Nice to see the occasional non-tREK, non-SW work. Everybody seems to forget that Buck Rogers was ever a thing. Me, I'll never forget, thanks to Erin Gray and her white uniform.

Oh yeah, but it was a little different from the version that we all know:
http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blo...lph-mcquarrie/

That version fits very well as a starfighter´s predecessor.

And don´t forget this one too:

Hey Ger, this time you need to stay with us.
