:thumb: what a great example of both - the cool model itself and that, besides skills, patience and persistence pays off

I’ll second this

Mike Amos · 18 Jul 2022, 21:20

I'll third that. Epic indeed.

So close. So, so close to being finished.

The details are really making it pop.

Bryan K · 20 Jul 2022, 04:38

Thanks HornOxx!

Thanks Tuna!

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Majid!

Maybe another week or two and it should be finished.

Bryan K · 21 Jul 2022, 21:21

It's finished.

I could detail this for the rest of the year, but all my references have gotten to the point where the "rivets" no longer match each other. So this is it.

I'll post a scene in the main gallery and the model as well.

Whew!

If anyone has request for close-ups of certain sections, let me know and I'll post them here.

Bryan K · 21 Jul 2022, 21:23

Continued.

Bryan K · 21 Jul 2022, 21:24

Continued.

Excellent

Bryan K · 21 Jul 2022, 23:33

Thanks Tuna!

Bryan K · 21 Jul 2022, 23:35

Final.

Go back to the previous posts for the rest of finished model images. They start on the previous page. Many more images with good close-ups.

carefully crafted model

Bryan K · 23 Jul 2022, 15:31

Thanks Alvis!

Mike Amos · 9 Sept 2022, 16:31

As always Bryan.

Bryan K · 11 Sept 2022, 04:30

Thanks Mike!

I think I'm taking some time off. It's getting too hard to use SU on this old laptop. I have to fight it every time I want to use it. And rending is also becoming a struggle. Hours and days to set up a scene that should take a day at most. It's like using a dull tool.

I'll be making more models when I have a new laptop. Right now, unless I'm absolutely compelled by the muses, no more complex models.

Great attention to detail! Glad you pulled this off!

I would like to take a look at the model, do you think you could be sharing it in a private message or here?
I wonder if it could be improved or made lighter!

Cheers!

It's posted in the 3D Warehouse. Search Nadesico. There are two. One by me and one by another artist. You'll know which one is mine.

Have fun!

Wow. Well I'm happy so many are enjoying this and I hope it is helping others.
