1:72nd Scale USS Enterprise!!!!!

Post by nickblack423 »

WOW!! This guy is my new hero.

I must admit that when I was in my teens and making aircraft models I contemplated the though of a 1:72nd scale Carrier. But to actually build it. WOW what a fantastic thing. I was gobsmacked when I saw it. The video is well worth a watch.

Why are we all excited?

Do you think he needed to use THAT many poly's on his model? Dayum...you will have a slide show in a 50 mile radius of that thing!

LOL

We CAN do it less poly, don't we? :wink:

BTW- how the carrier stuff development finished, on the Old forum?
Is there a mature AFCAD / FDE technology to even start think about this in FS?
