Elite - The Python

Long story short - Elite is a popular computer game circa the mid 80's, this is a rebuild of the classic ship the Python, originally about a 12 polygon game model in the original version. The idea of this tutorial was basically as an exercise inspired by an old friend of mine from the Elite community - could a Python be modernised considering that it was a simple 12 poly object, into something more modern yet keeping with the Elite look. I combined the traditional shape with superstructure from a trawler, a floating storage rig, a cargo holder and some other bits and bobs and amalgamated them into this one. Hope you enjoy it.
