A long time ago, I enjoyed playing X-Wing and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter. In these games most missions contains Freighers and Containers. So time to make them in 3D Max. They would look nice in some animated space battle.



After some searching I found a real model of this Freighter. So after some cutting and glueing I got my own Freighter, greath as a reference. (if any one wants to make it just print the picture below on some thick paper).



The Freighter consists of 4 Class-A Cargo Containers. So I started with one of them first. Here is the result so far.


The only think I am not sure of is the front and end part. I might add some plating.
Please let me know what you think of it so far.

Dude! You just brought back memories of crashing into those things countless times while playing that game.

Looks good so far, though I suggest adding more detail. Like you said, plating... maybe some more greeblies too.

Yeah me too, remember when I had to disable them with ion cannons, and, indeed, finally crashed into them.

very nice so far.

These gonna be in 3DS format? 'Cause if they are, and if you don't mind, I might be able to write them into the sequel to the Special Edition of Pursuit of a Jedi.

I liked flying between the containers and taging the ID's.

I will finished the container later on . De plating will be re-used from the freighter. (so they will look more the same).
I have copied 4 containers and started on the Freighter. There is still a lot of modeling needed.

I model in MAX, had some problems in the past with exporting files. But I will give it a go when I have finished.

Please remind me when I have finished the model

So after a bit of vacation, here is an update on the Freighter. I have added more detail to almost all the parts.
Work remaining, is the engine part and the bottom side, also mostly engine.

Good detailing. I just now noticed that this is a docking craft with 4 containers on it. I never noticed that before.

Cool!

Good to see this project is not dead. I like that amount of detail.

Are you planning on texturing it?

Yes, That does not seem to take to much time because all the detail is in the model.
But I will add some laser burns and other damage.
