    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    cartoony colorings Cool, so old red/blue Hurrican now Vendetta... design certainly matches the name. Might I suggest converting to (the red area in most recent color post) a black paintjob with a big white skull'n'crossbones on the back? Never meant to sound mean... Raptor was a good...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    NinjaLA was the one who suggested it... maybe NinjaLA and JasonRocZ both forgot the old Raptor. And its not like Jason can just make the round body-bits larger to circle all the way around... cause then it would look like WC1's Scimitar medium fighter. That's the big problem with design...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    Is that a Hurricane II or a Raptor 7? Uh, looks good and all but uh, can I just say "Raptor" ? (maybe not so much the top-view, but the front view and front-quarter type views certainly look similar. Pity to any cat or pirate whose computer mistakes it for the ancient fighter.) Hmm...

    Ethical Quandry.

    To forget a harsh lesson is to end up repeating it. Yet... To remember a great evil simply to remember that it was, is to constantly look back and place guilt on the surviving descendants of those who were part of that great evil; regardless of their ancestors being wiling members of that...

    Dissecting the Kilrathi Language

    If I remember right, the first (used on the red card) was usually the "Empire" symbol, mainly used though as the Clan Kiranka symbol since the current Emperor is of that clan. The second is also (later on) used as the "Assembly of Clans" symbol that Melek used (after WC3's destruction of...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    Hurricane II ... looking good By Sivar, that "Hurricane II" looks like a widened, over-fed Hellcat V (given a blue paint job) and a few new bits (small front wings, the fat intakes (or maybe their missile pods) on the underside of the wings. Certainly an interesting design... looks fast...

    Prologue Released!

    ~~~, you did a fan-game and I never noticed it until now? (must be my meds)... anyway, I'm busy with paper-models and not much for these higher-quality 3d-games (I prefer the older wc3/4 level 3d quality)... and I don't think I got a ton of drive space for downloading the game... so...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    How's this for a made-up character... Bit long, but gives you a fair bit to work with. Name Ray "Rapier" Shokovitski ** Parents/Family history Most of Ray's family died during the war (mostly due to human military incompetance rather than a violent kilirathi action). Ray's sister...

    Dissecting the Kilrathi Language

    If you run out of translations idea or references, you could try looking at Kzinti or Klingon... look for something similar (either by sound or meaning). I mean even among terran languages, there are phrases that just don't really translate well from one language to the next. I remember one...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    Firekkan Fighter in progress Firekkan Fighter gets its engines... The fancy red art-lines will probably be the final step. Left pod; engine/exhaust towards you... right pod; engine intake (bussard collector?) BTW... bout 11 hours straight work so far (7:30 a.m. atm... been working...

    Firekkan Fighter reference thread: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=25497 Go there and you'll find the cool Firekkan Fighter that I'm working on next. BTW... its engine pods are done (one fully built, other needs rear bit done).

    Gratha Model

    Now with optional landing gear Did up a tiny set of landing gear (otherwise it sits on its main intake and tends to rock to one side). If you find that the fighter is a bit off-balance (its back-heavy) you can try taping a penny or something inside the lower front area. I think its the...

    K-rathi fictions

    My favorite's the Jalkehi (image kf-11) ... I also like the Mining Hauler, Kilrathi DD-1 (looks a bit like a few alien warp-capable ships from various star-trek eps). The cargo-pod ship (first post) looks like a tan colored kilrathi version of the main ship from Star Control 2. What are...

    Model Done So okay, maybe the underside isn't 100% identical, but really, how often are you gonna see it when its sitting on a shelf? The model doesn't sit too well (tends to tilt to one side and rest on a wing)... so tomorrow (before I send anyone the zip) I'll do up a few cheap-n-easy...

    Gratha Model

    They don't actually glow.... ...before cutting parts out I place a layer of this 2-inch wide tape over the parts (helps strengthen the paper and makes it easier to clean since it provides a tiny bit of water-proofing... gives the completed model a nice "plastic-like" sheen too)...

    WC:CD "Fan Input"

    What do you guys think? Maybe I'll do up a paper cut-n-fold version of the Firekan fighter too? JasonRocZ ... post front, side, and top views of the ship please. A bottom view might help too if it's got a bit of an odd design.

    Engines Engines on. Top side needs a bit of work to fill in a few gaps. Reverse-angle ... used a small flash-light (camera's flash made too much glare) to show the 3d-ness of the awesome engine ports... they're almost big enough to stick your pinky-finger in up to the full length of...

    Gratha Model

    finally updated Did a cover-up layer for the top of the body and the cockpit area so that I could get that dark-red feathering-effect on. Also got that hawkish-beak (tooth like) bit on. As you can see, the central part of hte tail is built... I just need to work out the sides of it. I've...
