Aka "The Wasp"

I just stated messing around in sketchup, trying to create a rough 3-d model of a sketch I had made. Ironically (and conveniently), it came up looking something like a stylized wasp...

edit:

For some reason, my photobucket account isn't working. I'll have it posted shortly.

Update:

I've successfully exported it to a .x file and been able to fly it in Legends, though there may yet be some issues with scaling. I messed around with texturing last night, but was unable to get it to work. Have any of you successfully had textures show up in the game by using sketchup?

That looks beautiful. I would love to fly that when it's done.

What does it look like with default textures?

Thanks for the comments

@ Eclipse: I was definitely thinking of the x-wing when I made this, and though I never thought explicitly of the Oberth I can't say that I wasn't influenced by it in some fashion.

@ Marvin: How would I specify for the ship to use the default textures?

I think by doing nothing ... namely, by not including texture files in the "ships" folder.

I'll check it out today by pulling the textures out of Warsign's mod and see what textures show on the default civilian ships.

I'm in MP right now with just one of Warsign's modded ships (all the others are default) and only the one ship and engine files inside the "ships" folder. All the civilian ships have normal textures ... I haven't checked the default military ships yet. My ship, of course, looks a little strange ... in a cool sort of way.

Edit: From what I could tell (while being shot at), the military ships look okay too. The one ship modded by Warsign also had default textures ... and looked like this from the bottom:
