2 For 1 Special

Posted on Tue 29th Apr 2008
Monkhouse has posted two of his recent projects on the WC Nexus boards. First up is the CF-117b Rapier featured in the Wing Commander Movie.
From Monk:
I made the mistake of buying the Confederation Handbook, a couple of months ago; and fell in love with some of the ships from the movie. They seem to look better on the book that they do in the movie. That includes the Rapier, the KF-100 Dralthi, and specially the Errant...
...Before someone points out the size of the cockpit... That's INTENTIONAL. I think the idea of a 9 meters long space-ship is just too damn ludicrous. MY "movie rapier" is 18 meters long. Period.
Second to bat is a slight re-tooling of the Demon model Monkhouse finished about a year ago, now incorporated in Privateer Remake: Parallel Universe.
From Monk:
Let there be credit where credit's due: The original mesh was donated to WCU by Brad Mick. I worked on it a bit: Removed invisible polies, welded some parts, and re-unwrapped it. My original texturing was while still working for WCU, and was done in Gimp. The new texturing is mostly a re-mix of the old, and was done using Blender node networks.
Head on over to Monk's threads in the forums for more pics and information, or to query/comment/critique/admire.
