I've always loved this Angus McKie illustration - an aboslute classic! The sense of scale is just awesome. It was referred to as "The Wreck of the Jancis Jo" I think in theTerran Trade Authority Handbook called Spacewreck. Can't wait to see the final version of your tribute to this scif-fi classic, D@M! It looks stunning already!

Now, can someone please explain to me exactly what a "greeble" is and how you go about making them? I would love to have a go at a complex ship such as this, and greebles (whatever they are!) seem to be the way to model such complexity. There is an exact model of this very ship available at turbosquid.com, but I'm into making my own stuff!
