Ok ill spill the beans on this one. Just dont flip out because its "from another universe" because im not mirroring the ship. Creative license upon the design and turning it into a freelancer one.
Its a destroyer from The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Ive been wanting to fly the ship in freelancer for a long time, then i got to thinking if i took the same approach as revisiting mechs as i did for mechwarrior 4 models i played with, that i could turn the ship into something that would fit the universe, and maybe fill a needed roll.
I wanted to start my first attempt at a space ship with something already done, that way i could more easily develop the model and just dive into the stupid thing. The soyokaze was as good a ship as any to try. Its interesting, complex, simple, and it looks spiffy.
As seen in the picture, the red bit is smaller than my texture right now. On the model there is a lip on the lower portion of the red part, that will also be blue, or dark blue grey depending on the end result of the texture. Im going to make sure to make this ship look like its been through every rock field in sirius, but balance it with the original color scheme somewhat. The red stands out way to much right now because its all.... well the only bit of detail on there at the moment.
The ship in the show is a junker where all the washouts of the military end up. The story is to great to try and sum up though. Look it up if you enjoy fun, light hearted, great charactered space warfare.
