Well I posted before I went off to work but I'll be around this weekend.

After doing some scene, I finally got some new models on the go.

Here is the start for my version of the Phoenix. I combined my concept ideas and turned it into a Daedalus class refit.

Now working on my path down to fighters here is my Tau'ri version of a Al'kesh.
I'm still not happy with the bridge area so I'll be redoing that tomorrow.

Holy crap they're awesome. I really love the Phoenix.

Have you thought about putting the bridge windows on the bomber on an angle, like the Al'kesh?

Thank you and I haven't given the bridge any thought yet since it was 10pm at night and I needed sleep in a bad way.

Looking good RJB, I can see the bomber in action already!

Phoenix is coming nicely!

I don't really know what to call this class. I think it's too big to be a bomber coming in at about 50-55 meters long.

Nice work on the model ! But if you would compere it to an Al'kesh then I think that your bomber would be smaller, I mean Al'kesh´s are huge.

These are all cool, I myself draw my ships on paper, I'm an artist. I'll post some of my ships when I get around to scanning them on the scanner. I draw fighter ships, and mother ships too.

Hmm.. maybe heavy bomber? For a gunship it's too big imo..

As a note I have not said it was a bomber, just that it would be a Al'kesh equivalents. (Transport and heavy weapon support.)

I'm rendering a scene with it next to my Daedalus. (My Daedalus is about 450m long)
