Star Wars Imperial Landingcraft - Developers

I'm working on a Sentinel Class Imperial Landingcraft from Star Wars, because I can. The craft is only seen in the movies in one shot for a about a second, if you blink, you miss it. And it's only there in the special edition. Mind you that this is only a WIP, no textures yet. It has the inside of the cockpit though. 1260 tris. I based it mostly on the blueprints, but pretty much all sources contradict each other so I had to compromise in some places.

Ooh, this'll be awsome when it's finished!! Keep up the good work!

Once I have the UV map done and some of the textures I'll post another update. Though exporting the model from Maya to Source is gonna be hell. Would be awesome if anyone knows a good tutorial on that since I haven't been able to properly import a model to Source yet. I did find one tutorial, but it was missing pictures.

coool man it will be sooo wicked awesome

Wasn't this in one of the other movies, like the second or third ones? The Emperor meets with Vader using what I thought was this ship. I know I had a toy of it when I was younger, and it's shown up in some games before too.

Btw, its been in a lot more than just the one scene in the movie. Its the dropship in Empire at War, and its in Star Wars Battlefront 2 i believe.

nice work this may bring me back star wars rouge squadron memorys

Which has similar wings and cockpit, but is smaller and very different. I also don't think a toy exists, only model kits and lego sets.

Though I bet it being in the movie was a nod to the EU of the games...

This is great. This might even succeed into becoming a complete Star Wars role play with some decent rebels and good sweps that aren't crotch guns. I'm just asking for too much aren't i?

Well, all I can do it make maps and models. ShotGunGuy49 was working on some cool sweps though.

Like, really tiny mini figures. _ _ That's about actual scale of the figures, if not smaller. They fit in the tiny little cockpit and there was a small storage compartment. At least, from what I remember. It was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, almost in a galaxy far far away...

I found that the landing craft also make an appearance in the Star Wars Vector comics, and there are some details that I need to change on my model to make it more accurate, namely the inside of the cockpit and the engines.

[QUOTE=Pops;20654556]you mean Micro Machines?[/QUOTE] I don't think that's it, but it doesn't really matter. If I happen to find it while cleaning out my basement at some point, I'll post a picture.

I still have my Lego Laat/i Im looking at it now :D

Ah, finally people are having nostalgiac feelings for something of which I can relate!

[IMG]http://www.actionfleet.com/e/actionfleet/eImperialShuttleSL1stCanadian.jpg[/IMG] Probably this one, then. Man, I love action fleet.

I miss the good ol' Strwars action figure days, before they started repackaging the same freakin' figures from a few years back for a whole "new" figure line.

Yes, well that's the Lambda Class Shuttle. It's similar to the Sentinel Class Landingcraft, but the Lambda Shuttle is for personal transport, while the Landincraft is for troop transport. The landingcraft is also more heavily armoured and armed. As far as I know there is no Lambda Class Shuttle in Gmod, but it exists in many Star Wars games, and thus can be ported. The Sentinel Class Landingcraft is much more obscure and less featured in games. But it's still a badass Starship. Also, I have the Lambda Class Shuttle Vehicle for the action figures, it's so awesome.

I miss Star Wars Micromachines. Good old times. Anyhow, I'll probably post an update on the model tomorrow.
