Mitchell-Hyundine SA-23 Aurora class 'StarFury'
Strewth! When did we stop just calling them Starfuries?
Anyway, after having done an (admittedly brief) trawl of the Orbiter addon download site, I only found the later (and frankly nowhere near as cool) Thunderbolt so I decided to have a go myself.
This mesh is largely finished - aside from some smoothing issues - and currently stands at 11,500 triangles. This is about three times as many polys as I'd normally allow for a realtime model but I've wanted to model one of these buggers for absolutely years so I'm being naughty and indulging myself. If I release it publicly, I'm hoping that Orbiter handles LOD models one way or another so that I can make some severly chopped down versions for when it's not filling the screen.
It'll also allow me to give people the option of having a smaller download that doesn't make their PC choke![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyways, texturing next... oh boy!
