A lil' something I made> It came to me making it while playing with changing parts size. Sadly, the Sandbox errors on it, so until someone tells me how to get the parenting line out [yeah, I know the parenting sux. But, It's not meant for combat or flight... it's just the looks x] this is the best image I could do.

If anyone wants, I can post it for download later, maybe someone will be able to point out what's wrong with it... maybe even fix the parenting

lulz.

I think the parenting is just too cluttered for teh Sandbox to handle.

Wait...I'll give you one piece of advice...

DON'T EVER create ships in 3-D. 'Nuff said.

But still, I think it's a brave attempt, so I'll take my hat off to you.

Not 3D, just a side view ;3
All thanks to wookiepedia and some schematics

I wonder... why a sideview and not a top-down view which would make the ship at least playable?

Anyway, this side view is actually faithful to the original, and I like it a lot. And I also like the fact that the ship is doomed if its R2 unit is destroyed LOL!

Mind posting a pic with no parenting lines? You can flip them off with the P key.

Much better. Those parts on the back of the wings need work. The rest is good.

Ah, I know what the problem is.

Never put section color to 0,0,0. Put it to 1,1,1 if you want black.

Ah, simply change the ship glow to pure white. Right-click the core in editor to change it.
