Cinema4d Galor & Keldon class cruiser

I drifted away from 3D for a while again... rather than get back into it with by finishing off the BoP, I decided to have a crack at this wee thingy that I've been meaning to do for a while now. (Fear not, the BoP is much too far in to be abandoned now )

I started this off by using the plans available on the net (Fact Files stuff)... then quickly discovered that somehow they managed an amazing feat of draughting by making the top and bottom views have completely different outlines... and to top it off, the side view matched neither So I ditched those and stitched the very near-ortho photos on Starship Modeller together and am now working from those - can't beat the real thing. Obviously there's a bit of perspective distortion, but with 3 views to work off you can iron most of that out quite nicely.

So anyway, here we go - far too early for a first render really, but that's me Then again, there's not a lot more to the basic hull shape than this. I'll build the extra bits to make her into a Keldon at the end as well, just for fun
