I think that I already have posted images of this model in a topic a time ago, but I was not able to find it, therefore I am opening a new one.<P>I´m messing around with this model has some time.<BR>I started it largely based in the original designs of the comic book. Some tweks I made based in the EGVV schematics, like the gravity weel projectors locations and overall profile.<BR>Some thing in these schematics I disagreed, like the engine layout, only seen in the lateral view, wich I think is strange, and the front pillon, wich I don´t think is the comic design autor´s intention to be inclined, but straight. I attribute this impression of a inclined pillon to a wrong interpretation of the first image of the ship in the comic. Other views, to me, show a pillon clearly straight, and I don´t think is logical to these structure be inclined.<BR>Well, basicaly, these are the results of my design:<P> <P> <P> <P> <P> <P> <P> <P> <P><BR>As the EGVV schematics are not so good, and some curves show in the comic book ilustrations are impossible to achieve in 3D keeping the ship caracteristics in all views, i think the model is acurate as possible.<p>[ 12 June 2007: Message edited by: Marco Antonio ]

Now, there are issued a new design in the New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, with a engine layout trying to mach the lateral view of the schematic of the EGVV.<BR>To me, the result are very ugly, I really don´t like and I am tempted to ignore it and maintain my layout.<BR>What you guys think?<P> <P><BR>Some other views:<P> <P> <P> <P> <P> <P>And sorry for my bad english!!

That is absolutely fantastic, though I don't envy the job of texturing it.<P>I also totally agree with you on the engines, the NEGVV arrangement is just horrible, it should have at least as many as the Executor. <P>So in short, beautiful!

Very nice. If you didn't know this, the ship is much more visible in the recently-released Force Commander. Of course, the more source material you have, the more discrepancies pop up... *Rams stuff with the Eclipse *

Er, yeah. In my opinion you should stick to the engine layout you already have in place.<P>The 'official' design is not only ugly, but it doesn't look like it'd be remotely capable of propelling such a large vessel.<P>(Ignore newtonian laws of physics )

<P>I prefer the many-engined design to the one with 6... the one with 6 just looks empty behind it, and doesn't really look like it could move faster then MAYBE a very slow crawl. Not like the Eclipse can go faster then a slow crawl anyway, but you know what I mean

Wouldn't it reduce the number of surfaces to have fewer engines?

Great work Marco - and I agree, the 6-engine version looks awful - the multiple-engined one makes much more sense.

Holy Moly!!! Man the power is within you!!! <BR>Fantastic model!! <BR>With regards to the engine layout...as Corrann Horn said those tiny engines look out of proportion with the whole ship. I choose your design!! It looks much much better!!!

I second that. Another proof (If we ever needed any) that XWAU members know exactly how to design a craft far better than lame "artists". Impressive, very impressive.

Warlords is non-canon, though.<P>And I didn't know Forces of Corruption came with a COMPLETED Eclipse model; the one you see in the game is still under construction.<p>[ 14 June 2007: Message edited by: Tony Knightcrawler ]

Forces of coruption only had the under construction eclipse in the campaign. Among the files that came with the game there also ia a completed version (the one you see above). A litlle modding of the files makes it buildable too.<P>The warlord eclips is indeed non-canon, but it looks a whole lot better than the canon one. (the engines anyway)
