Hello Arena Players. Sorry for my recent unavailability. My Workload (Flooring Installation Industry) suddenly picked up considerably and I'm working days and evenings now. $$ KAH-CHING $$ anyway... The challenge was to model one spaceship blowing up another in Bryce. I tried a combination of some hand drawn grayscale images in PhotoShop, for symmetrical lattice ,and booleans.But I wast happy with it so I started this one from scratch useing nothing but booleaned primitives. I rather like the way the textures mapped to this one. Hawkfyr

Whoa! Hawkfyr! Great job! That's the ship that took ME in the Spring of '72! Would you be so kind as to check the medical examination bay for my bellbottoms? There's an important phone number in the lefthand pocket :) ~Dave

Yes this was the 71/72 model,and the Earth Solrar systm pprobe was one of the first on the agenda that light Year it is very likely it could be the same ship. I found the bell bottoms and by the looks of em,that was quite an examination.(ouch).after holding the phone number up to the light to see through the blood(it was in the rear left pocket),I can barley make out the numbers.....hmmmm 8...6...7.5.....3..0...9..... it say's "Jenny" Oh well.. they must have taken you into the future because that song wasnt released untill the 80's 8 )~ Hawkfyr

Jenny?...um...oh yeah...redhead with a great...personality...I seem to recall that she's serving 25-to-life...something about an ax and duct tape, too. Fell free to dispose of the note as you see fit. ~Dave (finally having the answer to not remembering the '70's)
