Incredible work. I was 13 when the original series aired, so I'm still hooked on the thing. I think the lighting in your helmet is a little off, though. I remember it giving the pilot's face a blue tint.

Theres a blue tint in the new show, but I am reasonably sure the rope lights glued into the old helmets where either white or yellow.

The pilot is only temporary for now anyway.

Now that is just too beautiful for words... The classic Viper and the Mark II *are* both in my all time favourite top ten list for SF fightercraft. The detailing on this model is just awe inspiring. I can't wait to see it finished!

banzai!

I think you're right about the lights in the old school helmets - I remember them being white myself.

Thanks, and the DVDs agree with you about the colour!

Why do I see the sphynx every time I see those old helmets?

Regardless, it's stunning work! Well done.

Thanks, you made any more pics with the old one yet?

SGA-3D · 08-15-2006, 09:12 AM

Well, atm I'm redoing the Progeny image, which takes a while to render. Once it's done, I'll make a couple of images. There would have been one the other day, but I was a bit busy unfortunately.

Well I finally have something new to add to this thread.

I have been working on the landing gear, which isnt easy considering the lack of references for these parts online.

If anyone knows the title of an episode where you get a good look at them, let me know, as I do have the DVDs, but I cant go through the entire series to see which ones have good references.

I was also tempted to by a starbuck action figure today to help me with the pilot and helmet.

10 quids a lot of money though.
