Howard Day Unveils Scimitar Model Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

For his next modeling project, Howard Day is taking on the Scimitar from the original Wing Commander. There is some work left to do on a few areas, such as the cockpit and underside, but Howard's latest model is already shaping up to be every bit as impressive as his stunning A-17 Broadsword rendition. Let him know what you think at Crius.net!

So here's the second Pioneer ship to get the new texturing method upgrade...the Scimitar! I still have a bit of work to do on the underside, and the missile racks are correct, nor final. Landing gear and cockpit details have yet to be worked out, as well.

The modelling on this one has been rather tricky - there's a lot of references for the cockpit area, but not all of them line up perfectly, so I kinda had to take the parts that did fit together and just use those. Anyhow, enjoy, and comments and changes are welcome.

Does it feel to anyone else that there's just something slightly off to the Secret Ops fiction? It has so much setup and almost no payoff; there's no resolution to the nickname debate or the alien virus or the secret cargo plotline. Was this all planned setup for another installment, or is it a case of writers throwing whatever seemed interesting at the wall and just running into a hard deadline instead of plotting things out entirely?

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
