Hello again, this thread is full of nostalgia.

I try to recreate ship from famous shoot'em up series "Gradius".

It isn't perfect so forgive me if you were a fan.

[volapong]

///UPDATE///

Work in progress:

I got new reference and try to make a better one.

Reference:

This guy is from Gradius V (last one come from Gradius III)

Gradius is a type of shoot'em up that I would called 'Confinement'.

The game restrict your movement by having you navigate through asteroid field or enemy base.

Another example of this type of shoot'em up is 'R-Type'...which is also famous.

She look very nice but doen't fly...well...fly but hardly turns.

(Too many parts)

I am setting a bar too high....

(Ion-engine are just for show here)

What do you guys think?
