    It\'s the sixth movie!

    That bridge section looks very nice. The area around it looks very off, but I guess you are working on that.

    In the order they were made, its the sixth film, but I think he meant it just as a joke anyway. People really should talk about star wars in episodes, or this happens.
    Looks like your ship is off to a great start though :) cant wait to see it finished

    I really like your start (exspecially the bridge) so far. But you could somehow improve the overall hull shape. The Ship looks currently like having mostly 45° angles.

    The ellipse-function of this tool: http://www.plotz.co.uk/plotz.php might help to build the curvy \"hull-tube\". It works up to 512 diameter circles. And its actually more accurate than paint.

    In this case it might be also helpful to load a picture of the ship (for example: into paint and scale the pixel length to the accurate block length. Its important that the proportions of the pixels stay the same.
    Then you can just build the overall shape block by block.

    Just some tips :)
    Looking forward to the finished model. Keep up the great work.
