Looks Nice. Do you have a look on the Word_of_Collier add-on by Sputnik for the Orbiter Sim? http://www.orbithangar.com/searchauth.cfm?search=Sputnik&Submit3=Search. As i've always said I love the work of the great Space artist Chesley Bonestell, and I'm waiting for some of his crafts running in Celestia, thanks! Jeam

Beowolf,

How are your models progressing?
Your WIP shots look good!

(I think the problem with the link is the ampersand "&". phpbb "knows" what a valid URL looks like and won't evaluate ones that don't look right. You might consider changing the image name to use -n- instead.)

Thanks, they are progressing SLOWLY.

I have a rather busy home life, i only get a few hours a week to work on this series of projects. And with my recent rebuilding of my Computer.............

you know how it is.

Something else that i am gonna admit too.
I have a hard time sticking to ONE project, i get the model nearly done for one then i find my self doing another.
currently i have these underway.
O'Neil style habitat
Dyson 20 meter Orion space ship
Von Braun's 52 era ships
Larry Niven's known space ships and planets
a Honor Harrington universe Destroyer
Nazi Sanger bomber and the Goddard Interceptor

plus my fictional add on Tau Ceti solar system..........


i need to pick one an stick with it.
oh yeah and learn to use the UV mapper.

Glad to see your work on this and other projects!

Hope you will complete the Von Braun's Station and ships!! They are a favorite of mine. I know all too well how it is to work on many projects or ideas at once, I suffer the same :-) I have to make myself work on a project until it's completed. It is better to finish a few things than to have many unfinished ones :-) I see the last post on this was around May 4th. I've been too busy editing a wedding video since April 17th, but now that it's finished, I was able to catch up on all the missed Celestia posts. Good luck to you, and keep modeling!

Beowolf,

There's a PDF VT Guide on the Motherlode's documentation page, and I wrote some rather cryptic notes.

See

down near the bottom, and
