New piccy's !

A couple of UFO related images that I've not posted before, both done a few years ago in 3DS Max and Vue 9.

Communications Array

 Here's something else I'm on with, I started this a while back but have been doing work on this as well as several other things. Not sure what this will eventually be attached to,either more radars or a ship of some sort.

Federation Pursuit Ship - Alternate Versions

I started building this miniature back in June of 2012 based on a CGI model I'd made some years earlier, this is an alternate design based on the Blake's 7 Federation pursuit ship.Here's my CG Model above.

And here's the work in progress on the miniature, this won't match the CG version exactly as I'm taking a lot of the stylistic detailing from the miniatures Martin Bower made for the original show, but the shape of the final ship will be based closely to my design. This model like the original uses a fair few parts from the Airfix Apollo Saturn V Rocket model kit.

The final model should be around 18-19 inches in length. I plan to finish this over the summer once I have college work out of the way.

Just a few ships and miniatures from SF films off the top of my head that used the Saturn V, X-Wing Fighter, Y-Wing Fighter, Millennium Falcon, Star Destroyer, Blockade Runner, Escape Pod, Death Star Surface Tiles,Imperial Shield Generator on Endor, Battlestar Galactica, Galactica Shuttle, Cowboy's Ship and the Hephaestus Station from Battle Beyond the Stars, Space Academy's Seeker, Dragos's Dragon ships from Jason of Star Command The Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 to name just a small selection

Sinner Helmet - Recent Project

I made this helmet for a recent college project, the concept behind it is a helmet worn by sinners who are put to hard labour on a hostile planet in a far flung dystopian future. Included here are some of my concepts, construction of the mask and stand and some pics of the final mask.

Here are some pictures of the final helmet on it's display stand, I need to get some photos of someone wearing the helmet at some point.

Void 01 Spaceship

I did this spaceship around March 2012 for comic book artist Sean Phillips for the graphic novel Void 01 ,the model was built in 3DS Max and then exported as a 3DS file so it could be imported into Google Sketch-up so Sean could use it for the many shots he needed to draw of the ships exterior. The model didn't need any textures so this is the final ship.The lower module was designed to be detachable and is fasted by clamps to the main ship.

Gingerbreed Spaceship

I started building this spaceship back in 2007 for Jonathan Dorfman and Szymon Weglarski's SF comedy Gingerbreed, a new showreel on their FX Company's site shows a number of clips from the movie and some brief shots of the finished ship (see above) I've not had word off the guys at HiFi 3D in some time so I don't know what the status is of the final film.

Gateway Station Animation

Here's a shot of Gateway Station that I created for Aliens Epilogue, the space station was never seen in a complete shot in the James Cameron film Aliens so it was a case of trying to expand what we seen of it into a whole station. This is what I imagined the station might have looked like and Darren Kemp was happy with the look.

Nazi Spaceship from The 25th Reich

This is an old spaceship that got recycled for Stephen Amis's upcoming film The 25th Reich that's due out in 2012 sometime.
