And now for something Completely different!! This is a WHIf you just have to squint real hard, and realize its twice removed from reality: its a SCI-FI Whif. I posted this in the ARC Forum but i was hoping i could get more feed back here. My favorite jet is the Tomcat and one of my favorite video games is Homeworld, after thinking about this for a while i finally decided to do it. Its been in and out of progress for a while now, but its about 90 percent done and i wanted to share it. Still plan on adding more decals and doing a light wash. I'm happy with the results thus far but i would really appreciate feedback from anyone who takes the time to tell me. I'm kind of hoping for a general consensus on the overall look and anything that could be changed or improved size and shape wise to look better. This is only about my 5th model since i got back into the hobby, so I'm looking to improve my modeling skills of course, don't be afraid to speak up if you see something wrong with technique, but again size and shape are the big questions for me. I want it to look the part. If you aren't familiar with Homeworld, the screen shots are on top for comparison:









Thanks for looking!!

I don't know much about the video games.  But that Tomcat looks good.

i like both series of images.

the CGI ones would do nicely in RAF markings for the future part of the RAF100 theme set in 2018.

the model is very good. if i was up against that for real i'll surrender ASAP! :) i assume that there are
some very modern and powerful engines in the 'frame and the top fuselage bit is for extra fuel and sensors.

lordy be knows how many phoenix's it would carry!

:thumbsup: well done!  :thumbsup:

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

RAF 100? I did a search and found a few links here and there, sounds intriguing can any one provide me with more info?
