Everything Ship Shape (December 22, 2007)

[Bandit LOAF]

Sean Murphy was kind enough to send some amazingly detailed pictures of Brian Smith's famous spaceship model. Just look at all the details -- it's incredible... and it really looks like the sort of thing that belongs in the Wing Commander universe. It would be pretty neat if one of our intrepid artists were to model this ship in Wing Commander Prophecy! You can read more about Brian and his artwork at our online memorial here.

Wow that is really amazing. The detail really is insane on some sections.

Someone should take up LOAF's suggestion. I'd love to fly around it.

So the midway mated with the original battlestar galactica

Cool job, what does that control panel do? show of lights and sounds?

Yeah, the model had all kinds of moving parts and lights. The bay doors open up and down, the big dishes on the side of the tower swivel back and forth; there are running lights that strobe down the length of the landing bays...it really is quite an incredible piece of work.

I should note that Sean actually sent these pictures quite a while ago - I was incredibly late in posting them (I was in LA for a week and then dealing with family stuff.)
