I am a little confused. As I usually am about threads. Are these all star wars battlefront2-related things, or assorted games?

Just about anything, I guess. Mostly BF2, though.

I thought that was for XSI?

Anyway, I made a new building, took me about one hour.

EDIT: There is no longer a circlular structure on the roof, but a cut out so one can get on to the roof.

It is a landing pad as seen in the movie. I made a separate entrance that fits perfectly on the circular main structure, so the lay-out can be shifted around with.
All the textures used are stock ones.

You can play around with these numbers:

Then the texture would look better. You can also look a few pages back where I asked how to move textures around.

pretty simplely actually:

for simple terms;

Take a 3D rectangle
draw stairs into the side of it
use the follow me tool to drag it all around the rectangle
delete unneeded polies

Ok, V2.0 of a guitar model is done, the body shape is something I made up, the rest of it i copied off my Les Paul. It's almost finished, but so far I spend about 3+ hours on it.
