Aye, that's pretty much what I figured and that's probably what I'll do. It might actually be a better way to work and make life a bit easier having the model broken down into several PDOs, I can simply combine them for the final releasable product. It also means that if I need to redo a part...

Blast. It looks like this project has hit a brick wall again. I need the high res version of Pepakura and I really can't afford it at the moment and my existing copy of Pepakura 3 obviously downsizes the texture to 1024 which is way too low res. I could chop it up and use multiple 1024...

Okay, minor update. I've balanced the values on the legs with the hull and added some highlights to the underside and a few other minor things. Now featuring alternative Mace Windu, Ryloth markings as well. Things to do: Possibly add a few more physical details such as bevelling the knee and...

I'll look into the legs. They won't be physically moveable but the only thing stopping you gluing them in different positions will be the black marks created by the ambient lighting pass. If I tone those down on the joints, it should allow you to position the legs any way you wish. I am...

Texturing nearly complete. There are a few minor pieces still to do I need to balance the tone on the legs with that of the hull as well, but it's nearly unfolding time. Crow

Texturing Begins: Crow

Okay, the panel lines are pretty much done, I think. There's still a couple of details to mop up and some to adjust, but it's nearly ready for texturing. Crow

Those are some gorgeous shots and will help with a couple of things. I'm basing the model, panelling and texturing on the Clone Wars model, though and I've umpteen dozens of screen grabs as reference for that. Crow

Well, that's been my intention all along, but PDOs allow folk to customise the model. Someone suggested simply providing the part sheets in a scalable format, including just the linework so that folk can make the parts any size and colour it themselves. It'll be a wehile before I have the model...

I'm considering making the PDO available for folks who want to tinker with scale and maybe add their own textures etc, however my concern is that with the latest version of pepakura, it's possible to extract the mesh from the file and I don't really want people doing that. If I thought folks...

Quick update. I've made some progress on drawing in the panel lines properly. Crow

My original plan was to make it about 16cm long as a desk decoration, but I'm seriously considering making it 1:50 now to work with 28mm miniatures for gaming. That'd make it about 26cm long. oh.. and most of the images posted so far are of the 3D model. Crow

Yes, I haven't forgotten about the Axeman. He's still in the projects folder :D Crow

I finally got some time to work on this. It's been quite a while. I started roughing out the panel lines using my umpteen tons of reference images and Maya's 3DE paint tool. I've also modified a few bits and remapped and re-lit it several times. I need to get all that nailed before I finally...

Well, the link to the Jedi interceptors is the actual picture. If you click on it, it'll take you to the PDF file. I just tried the other link to Momir Farooq's models and it works fine. Crow
