it does need a skin, definitely.
the model itself is completed so you can get the finishd mdl file to skin it.
there is no special idea behind it. only guideline: it should look absolutely unbelieveable.

*faints*
the skin just has to be more green but this can be changed later. besides that its better than I would have ever imagined. (hope I expressed myself well...)
the windows should like they were made of glass ergo contrast to the rest of the model. the left and the right faces of the window are supposed to be glas, too. sorry, didnt mentioned it. but how shuold the pilot supposed to see where he is landing?
you could also add some details around the jet intake.
I would like to see a picture from behind because Im shure you missed the ramp at the rear part <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
and dont forget the details for the landing gear covers. although that thing will hover at the end it still has got some things to stand on <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
edit: erm... when do I get it?
I'll make the changes later on today.

so I would be happy about anybody to do th final job. pre-final release of the map will be this we, just in case you are interested.
I'll start on the skin again soon and should have it finished soon.
oh please lord make them finish their work, soon!

-Nothing is final atm.
-Only the middle green part is skinned. I have done ~nothing to other parts. So if you want to comment the skin, comment only the middle one. (even though it is not done yet <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
-It's lacking contrast. I know. <u>It's a wip.</u>
-The "window"-thingie on the front was merely just a test. I'm going to re-do it from scratch.
And yes, this is for Grav; Just wanted you to know that you still have hope. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->
left and right on the angled face should be glass, too. I could punish myself for not smoothing those edges. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

As you can see I replaced the window-thingie with a hatch-thingie. It looks horrific.
Then I noticed that there was a little bit strething visible.
So I took the liberty to fix the mesh on my own (fixed mesh not applied on that upper picture). <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'll get back skinning it within few days.
P.S: What do you mean, "serious"? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
however, I dont likw the "hatch idea" like it is atm. I stick with the glass window concept. something like this would be cool:

the only way this model doesnt look as flat as it is.

Wow. I hope I had thought of a that kind of window-design. It's just... Beautiful.
I'll continue tomorrow.
If you see something that looks good, but you know that it is for map usage, then you have an even stronger urge to know the PC <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

edit:
since ns_source will most likely be tested in the next few weeks I would like to add the final version of the shuttle to the download. its all up to the skinner <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
