Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

a man after my own heart :) of all the Starfighter's we have seen in Sci-fi .. BR is my fav ... it. I watch it too when first shown on TV .. Star Wars was just out by a few years.. Star Trek had also recently started on BBC tv which could be viewed in Ireland (thank God Irish tv was something of a mind numbing spoo)

sound like a great childhood .. oh the adventures we had .. journeys through space and time and still have to be back home for dinner or the dark lord would start calling out your name.. and the immortal legend "Dinner!! " at the top of her lungs .. ofcourse the minor lords (your friend mothers) are doing the same ..

Coordinated child abuse .... depriving us of our last battle .. just as the not so evil snot nosed kid from the next house who we had to play with is the baddy .. DINNER!? Come in here know or you will get a slap "!!! while waving her wooden spoon which magically appeared in her hand , confirming everyone believe that mother turn to witchcraft around dinner time....

"In a minute!!" the time honoured replies from 10 kids from the ages 7 to 12 ..

"Just you wait until your father gets home"" this worked too a space hero shame each kid hung his / her head and like a POW shambled home.. to a fate of a short sharp spanking..


But wait part 2 is after dinner .. kid running around (a bit stiffly) because they cannot sit down ..

a walk through childhood 1970s / 1980s ..


Thank God its behind me.. :)

Well it looks like you have definitely got the shape going in the right direction!
I don't remember enough about this ships shape to know how offensive that curve is to you though.

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

I have it sorted now .. with help from Raffs over at Foundation3d :)

so I am again making some headway .. I'll will at least try to get it done in a way that will at least make a good follow up to RAFFs :)

so stay tuned .

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

sorted the shape .. not sure about the lower skids

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

Looks outstanding, dude. :D

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

Thanks bro .. trial and error .. more error though :)

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

I hear you on that one. I've had many meshes (OK, most of them) that way myself. But it's a great way to learn new tricks. :D

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

That's looking sweet, T!

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

I am now thinking about the details again and cockpit arrangements for both the twin and the quad seats.. I want to have the cockpit to open revealing the interior .. I hope to complete soon as I can .. My trip to Spain is approaching fast.

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

Looking good!

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

Nice. always a good design. Just think, at one point this was going to be the Viper in BSG (classic)

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

I saw the on Colonial Fleets site (sister site to here) Some time ago .. I cannot Imagen them in reverse roles now .. Buck in a Viper or Apollo in a Starfighter .. can you :)

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

nice work T.

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

That's because it's what you're used to. If the ships had been switched, you'd now be saying that you can't imagine Buck in a Starfighter and Apollo in a Viper. ;)

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

What I can't imagine is if BR had an ep with Gary Coleman as a President and My Favorite Martian as a bad guy!

....wait... oh crap! That DID happen! :eek:

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

point taken .. EG:)

yes that happened warrior .. I saw that episode last week:)

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

I saw it two nights ago. I'll never... EVER... be the same again! :D

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

quick get this warrior a whiskey ..

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

sounds like the episode from hell...

Re: Thunder fighter (Buck Rogers 25th)
 

Well, make up your mind. In another thread I was just in, you wanted to take the whiskey away from him. (presumably the same whiskey you gave him in this thread, since it was posted first.) :blink:
