 | Welcome to the wagon Ghanima! It started with Eric Peterson, loooong time ago.  Dr. Timelord converted that mesh to Blender and improved it a bit...After that, I tryed to reconvert Timelord´s version to max, but I got a lot of mesh errors in this process. So, due to these troubles, I started to built my own version, and I´m still sllowly doing it. About refs, the best ones are those from the USS Lakota. Therefore, her shuttlebay isn´t equal to the Ent-B´s one.  There are at least 03 GREAT Ent-B meshes already built (Al3d, MattC, Roliba)and, each one of them, has a different detail or a better piece built... Additionally, at 3d-gladiators you´ll find a lightwave version built by Warrior... So, in my version, I´m taking renderings of all of those meshes as a reference too. I believe that you got a great start with your mesh, but good look with the sec hull, cause will be a pain to make it right (I know it for myself...). |

| @Aresius - Thanks for those too! The ones from the Auction are great!! @Roliba - Thanks - i think i should mention some of the ref pics i have are from you on this thread: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3...rek-ent-b.html. Hope you don't mind, they've proved quite useful so far. Your shuttlebay and rear torp tubes are amazing. Im afraid to even start those... @VALKYRIE013 - I checked out the blueprints from before, and was going to use them - but noticed some oddness with some of the lines. They are useful for certain things though - Thanks. @Starship - Was Eric Peterson the first to complete this class? i have his model somewhere... I KNEW Timelord was offended about something...! I hope he's not really pissed about my lil comment, it wasn't aimed at him . Quote:
