Neat project...I didn't even know the model had evolved over the series.

Is it just me, or does the Raptor have something of an "Airwolf" vibe to it? I didn't really think about it before until seeing the rear station with all its command, weapon and system displays and the two pilot seats in front (with the crew wearing helmets). Weird.
Well, if this is going to be a one off, the parts certainly look like they are being designed for kit production (right down to the large alignment tabs in the wings). It is almost looking like a styrene kit.

This looks amazing, though I do have one concern; the faces of the pilots. Even in the farther-off CG shots, you can still clearly see them through their visors; will there be an accommodation made for this?

Grafted faces?
So instead of Boomer and Helo, it would be like John Travolta and Nicolas Cage? :confused

You know...like "Face Off"...cause they changed faces....
Sometimes the jokes work, and sometimes they don't.

Oh, very cool. Thanks for the pointer.
You don't need to get scanned, a couple of good photographs will do, ThatsMyFace - Custom Action Figures, Dolls & Masks from your Photos
I don't want to give you guys the wrong impressions, so let me burst some bubbles and say this is not going to be kitted... this is part of a larger commission display, and there is not any interest in going into the kit business from the people in this project. I don't have a license for this, don't want to get recast, don't want to fund a run that might not even sell, don't want to do instructions and make it "easy" to build, etc etc.
But I think there is a 1/32nd offering in the works, so there WILL be Raptor models in that scale...

I hope all that doesn't stop you from posting pictures.
As far as the 1/32 Raptor you mentioned, are you talking about the Bad Azz Raptor(s)? I've been watching for news (and pictures) on that one.
I've been looking for a Raptor model for a long time, my favorite ship from the fleet, your doing a helluv a job with the renderings, cant wait to see the actual build!

I hope to start posting info on that soon. Some of the parts are in rubber now. At least 1 version will be available BEFORE Wonderfest. Maybe all 3. Just depends on how much each change.
Jason, I'm working on a idea for the 32 scale pilots that may work for you as well. I'll tell you more when I'm further along.
