I am working on some ships for X3 Reunion. They a based on Warhammer 40K space ships.

The ship below is a Space Marine Battle Barge. It is in the first stages of development (And i still need to figure out the texures).

I have plans for many more ships including Fighters, Carriers, Frigates etc.

This is my first attempt at texuring something i've created.
I still need to get more textures, and when i get the X Superbox, i will have heaps at my fingertips, so please bear with me

UPDATED

I tried to texture using maps provided in Gmax, untill i buy the X Superbox. The texturing on this ship is for reference only and will not be on the final version
