BT-M Model: CN9-A Centurion

Phew... I haven't submitted in a looong looong time. And this here image is the reason. Following my completion of my ARC-2R Archer, I was asked to do another model for BT-M and the Centurion was the one I chose. My modeling has taken leaps forward during this time as have my views and opinions about 3D art. However, my speed of modeling has not improved much, and because of the lack of time due to my A Level studies I took a grand total of 1 year and 3 months to complete this model, working on it on and off.

Now... about this new model. This model marks a departure of my detailing style from mainly paneling to full fledged parts - there are alot less riveted panels now and alot more variety when it comes to the detailing. It also is the first model with which I bothered doing an proper shape test model. I had wanted originally to do some hyper detailing, but never really got down to it. And it would have stressed out Gooseman's render farm anyway

Because i'm not texturing for BT-M, its not likely you'll see a textured version soon, but I can't resist texturing it for my own use and am working on a scene to put it into atm. So look forward to seeing that If you want to see closer pics of the WIP phase, you can check out [link] all the WIP are in the forums.

And my thanks to the BT-M staff and guys at Mektek for your support over the course of this project. Its been a pleasure
