Betty21

Have gotten quite a bit done here.

Betty20

Just finished the thruster and wing in the front.

Betty19

Here are the latest progress. This was more fun to do :)

Betty18

Aaargh, its a boolean nightmare.

Betty17

I have started to block out the "spine". There's not a bloody thing on this ship being easy to make.

Betty16

Did the hydraulics on the thrusters.

Betty15

Have started with the hull behind the cockpit. Here is a wire.

Betty14

After going over some of the reference pictures, I decided to change the business end of the thrusters. 

Betty13

More details done.

Betty12

Been doing some details on the cockpit.I have some left to do.

Betty11

Wow, the cockpit was a total nightmare to make. All the different angles on the hull was not easy to get right. A lot of restarts on this.Turned out not to shabby in the end I hope.

Betty10

The latest progress.

Betty9

Havent had the time to do much modeling because of real life work, but here is a small update.

Betty8

Small update. This cone thingy was harder to make than I thought. Progress is very slow, cos I have to do a poopload of vertex moving and cutting and cleaning and merging.

Betty7

Have started on the big giant cone. Here's a wire with the reffs I use. I also use various pics I have downloaded from around the web.

Betty6

Some hydraulics.

Betty5

A little more done. I have never done so much chamfering manually as I have done on this model. Its annoying.

Betty4

Latest progress. Forgot to alter the edge creasing in Carrara, so some of the edges looks a bit funky :)

Betty3

Some more done on Betty.

Betty2

Have gotten some more done. I almost regret I started this thing, already. Not exactly uplifting for future progress I must say :) I mostly need to move everything manually....... mostly :D

Betty

I need a break from Invidia. So I am going to have a go at making Betty from Alien Resurrection instead. I have always wanted to make it, or try to make it, but never found any good enough reference pictures. Not until some days ago, on Foundation 3d. Treybor is his nick, and making sublime models is what he do. He had a thread with orthos of the Betty. I am going to use those as a source, so here goes.

What I got isn't much at the moment, but its many tries, and a lot of vertex moving to get it looking like this. The engine have a lot of angles that needed some close attention to get right.

Textures

Well, been busy with uv mapping. Until it hit me..... why the heck am I doing this? The panels will cover almost all the hull, and most of the texture will be hidden. Bloody hell.

Some wires

Some wires of the saucer, and a couple of renders.

More saucer work done

Some minor changes and addons.

Bottom panels

Started with the bottom of the saucer. Decided to change the registry as well.

Outlined txt

Huzzah. Managed to get the letters cut out without to much trouble and mess.

Saucer text

Think I need to find out how I can get an outlined font instead. Dont feel anything for the ones I have tried so far. Some renders follow.
