Ok, so after seeing the latest POTD with the normandy and watching the cinematics for Mass Effect 2, I came up with this kitbash from USS Prime's SR1, Full credit for the original model goes to him. After reading up on the Normandy, I wanted to combine and improve the 2 previous designs.

That's quite interesting, actually. Planning weapon pods/torps on the wing tips a'la the F-16?

Thinkin about it, in the mean time, added some detailing to the engines to give em a Y-wing styled look

I'm really liking this. Kinda makes me want to go play Mass Effect again...

I'd make the aft section fins slightly larger, and put them at an angle, but i'm liking this so far! Nice job.

(Thanks for that POTD comment by the way ;) )

I just wished that we had the SR-2 aswell.

Someone might be working on it, y'never know. ;)

I like where you're going with the engines. Have you settled on the size of it yet, mate?

Im thinkin about making it bigger, however thats gonna be a pain seeing as it was a pain modeling the inserts and getting them rotated and placed correctly. im thinkin about adding gun turrets to the wings similar to the ones on the SW Republic Gunship, just a thought. Also, for laughs, i was gonna strap an akira weapons pod on and found that the ship is smaller than the akira weapons pod lol

You can always just select all verts or faces (Whichever way you work) and scale it up.

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #8 on:** June 28, 2010, 06:16:51 PM »

Yeah, I want it to be about 30% bigger than the defiant,

I love Mass Effect and your SR-3 Normandy is looking to be Awesome. Have you thought about making a Canon SR-2 to go along with the SR-3?

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #10 on:** June 28, 2010, 06:40:04 PM »

I should be able to form the sr2 from what ive got now, with the sr3, I have a lot more liberty to mess with the design than if I was making the sr2. Not to worry, the sr2 is coming but right now, enjoy the sr3.

in the meantime, im gonna work on the detailing and see about those wing turrets

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2010, 09:05:58 PM »

update: started work on the wing turrets

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #12 on:** June 29, 2010, 12:29:08 PM »

UPDATE:

ive finished the base domes for the turrets, im thinking about adding the weapons locked in a position were they shoot outwards from the wings. Ive also repositioned them to a more defensive position. I'll post pics when I get home from work.

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #13 on:** June 29, 2010, 08:44:11 PM »

alright, here are some pics of the updated turret placements, I have also added some akira styled detailing to the underside of the engines.

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2010, 08:03:45 PM »

Update: modeled in weapons for the turrets

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2010, 08:47:49 PM »

Vladko has agreed to texture her (seeing as shes done) ive created a basic paintscheme for him to use as reference. The yellow areas are were windows will be, I have scaled up the model a bit but not to large

Vladko1 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 08, 2010, 02:32:17 AM »

How big is she? I mean because I need the size for the windows ;)

Vladko1 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2010, 02:46:38 AM »

How is the size?
btw, these are only example windows ;)
and, btw, its looking like jet plane

Like one A330

Vladko1 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:02:44 AM »

Update. Give and advices, how to arrange the windows, to be more realistic ;)

Captain_Licard · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2010, 06:48:28 AM »

the windows look about the right size, the engines need to be darker, other wise it looks good so far
