Uhh use [SHOT]
K?

Well, after the whole A-Wing fiasco (If you didn't see it, don't ask), I decided to make a vehicle from Star Wars Episode III. So far, I've made the main cannons for the thing, there are 2 ion cannons on the sides (I put together a real-life plastic model of the thing, you know, the kind where you glue together the parts? I made one of those and I'm looking at it). It's one of my first major models (Besides maps, I'm good at those), last vehicle I modeled I only made wheels and a handlebar for.
Anyway:

Remember, it's only my first major vehicle model, and I started very early on it, just over half an hour ago, so I don't want the 3D Modeling Police on my tail. ;)
In case you are wondering what vehicle it is, precisely,

The ETA-2 Actis-class light interceptor (A.K.A. Jedi Starfighter or Jedi Interceptor), precursor to the A-Wing, flown mainly by Jedi Pilots because of the sensitive controls and the fact a non-force-sensitive pilot could lose control very easily. Full page on the thing here.

EDIT: Anyone here know how to make it so if a projectile hits a target, it disables the target temporarily, similar to the H3 Plasma Pistol effect?

My summer project. After more than 60% of the clan moved on to Halo 2 in May, and I didn't have a good enough computer, I got bored and started playing FF7 again and got the idea to make a vehicle. After scratching out the idea of making a full sized Highwind, I settled on an easier task. The Tiny Bronco. All that is left to do is to: add propellers, fix any smoothing, fix some faces, skin it and tag it. Here is my creation so far.

Also, does anyone know how to make a vehicle so that it goes forward like a land vehicle and once it reaches a certain speed, it starts to fly? Kinda like a real plane?

It's cute! :p I recommend adding more polys though, it seems rather blocky.

I don't know, I just wanted to show you that I could do something.
Also, it was an extruded, beveled, and INSETED cylinder. :eng101:
I just finished watching a 4 hour tut on how to plane model, I'll be redoing it as soon as I get enough reference pictures.
I never knew plane modeling was actually working with planes... Kinda obvious, but...

Started on redoing the slide. No smoothing groups applied yet.
