day three, of the Scimitar

WOOOOOOO-WEEEEEEEEEEEE, I forgot how many drawings went into the making of this Monster!!!! Today are the drawings of the wing tip armaments and all of the overall plans that make up all the mechanics of the Scimitar. If your in the mood to model this one, here is all the stuff you’ll need! Each wing had to be drawn individually because every one was vastly different in shape. The detailing and panel break up was identical from top to bottom, and the only change in this was on the main hull and central structure of the ship. On the wing plans are a set of registration circles that, when aligned in layers, use these circles to scale everything accordingly. Also are some beautiful CG renderings by Digital Domain artist Rory McLeish. Rory was the one that modeled this beast for Nemesis, and I had a great time working with him. He filled in a lot of holes and added a lot of his own imagination to the final design. Rory had the thickest Irish accent on the phone and I almost could never understand him, so I would just say yes a lot and then call Jay Barton and have him decipher what Rory had just said to me, HAAAAA! Lots of good times between our two departments. Anyway, here is a cornucopia of stuff to look at, and I have to get to work so hope you all have a great Friday and enjoy all the pictures. Next week we’ll wrap up the Scimitar and hit the Valdore, and if time allows, I’ll start that week of Robert McCall.
