As you can see the aft 20mm AA gun is now added:D

Just got to sort out the 4" deck gun that go's on the front (i only got blueprints for a 5" deck gun, so some design/drawing work will need to be done)

[BillS]

Glad your still at it!! This was an amazing one to follow!

[Rigel]

I am still at it, just been sorting the model out for animation and lowing the polys abit for rendering.

I am also toying with the idea of letting you guys have an untextured version of the boat, let me know what you think.

[BillS]

Oh now that would be cool!

[DarkShadow]

I take it you want the boat then bill

[Mikala]

Put me on the pre order list!!!
She's a wicked boat!

[DarkShadow]

Lol, thanks guys!

Got abit to do yet, but hopefully it will be reddy by the weekend.

[DarkShadow]

ok it will be reddy tonight sometime, just modeling the rigging

but what will be the best way you release the untextured model?

1 - just email everybody that wants one, or release it in the downloads part of the site?

We could cetainly use more boats in the download area and who knows maybe Bill will decide to make atextured version of it. ;)

[DarkShadow]

i am also doing a textured version of it, just will be doing it inbetween some other models

so it will be done later (i will post my progress)

[DarkShadow]

Ok It is now posted

[BillS]

SWEET! That is a hell of an array of torpedo's in the bow!

[Mikala]

A work of art!
She has a great look from all directions. Though I would not want to be at the receiving end of those launch tubes!

[DarkShadow]

Well this type of boat (the group 3 - T-Class) was used to take on the japs, and yes we did do lots of damage!

Started modeling a house today (will post tommo).
So by my time-table, i will start the uv unraping tommo, Should keep me doing stuff, lol.

All and thanks to everyone for the nice comments (maybe now i have one model done i can start to get some payed work!!!!!! One can hope.
