3 D CGI DeSanto Viper

In October of last year, I attended the Galacticon 03 convention here in California (I was the web master of batlestargalactica.com at the time)

Tom DeSanto was one of the guests (he of who produced the X-Men movies... remember them? ) and at one time, he and Brian Singer were set to bring Galactica back as a continuation.

9/11 intruded, and screwed up their schedules. Tom was still on the project, but Brian had another project to do.

Anyways, Ron Moore and the SciFi Channel stepped in and stole the Galactica project out from under Tom.

So at Galacticon, Tom presented a slide show of what he had planned. In the slide shows, he had images of what his new Viper would look like.

It was unfinished, so what the final look of the Viper would be will never be known.

But using those unfinished photos from Tom, I've made this mesh.

Please note its not finished yet, *and* the line textures on the wings and engines are temp.

Lee Stringer sent me a link to a physical model site that created a model of this Viper. Since that model will be for sale, I'm going to use pics of it for referrence on this mesh to be consistant.

More will follow, of course, and after I'm done, I'll reveal the link to the physical model.
