Now I remember how I missed those.
Nice work everyone.

And finished!
I might consider that perspective view since I still have a week to go.

Not bad, makes for an interesting silhouette.

YES! You should always have 2 perspective views for each concept. And actually, all the other views (side, top/bottom, rear/front) need only be line drawings, not a rendering.

Very cool! 
I like how the ātwelvesā on the topview are correct projections of the sideviews 
I think the front part is a bit too thin, just behind the big turrets. What program do you use? Illustrator?
Interesting that you use 3DS Max, sounds like it works like Adobe Illustrator. I like the fact that you print it out halfway, I would just draw over it in PhotoShop. Maybe a print works better, itās worth a try
I still havenāt done proper sketching 
I plan to first fill 1 or 2 sheets with sideviews to find an interesting shape. Then select ships to work out in larger sideviews and small 3D views. Then make a big 3D sketch, scan it in and finish it in Photoshop. And the last step in Illustrator, adding sideviews and text etc. Sounds like quite a lot of work 
maybe I need to cut down on steps and quantity.
Anyway, hereās a quick sketch I made yesterday while waiting for somebody:

Heh, that thing looks like a Cylon destroyer or something

Haha yeah itās not that Centauran like. Iām glad it looks like a destroyer though 
I just had my first sketching session, below the results 
Iām sorry for the horrible quality of the photos. In my defense, it looked OK on my phone.
The first sketches where WAY to detailed and chaotic. I realised I was being stupid for not keeping it simple, so I simplified my favorite sideview. I copied the last drawing to have a backup and to use as an underlayer. I tried out a few printer settings, which is why I have so many of them
Next session I will redraw the ship by starting with 2 combined blocks in perspective a few times, trying out different dimensions. Itās tricky to make the design both an aggressive warmachine and an elegant Centauran starship.
EDIT:
Apparently Iām really fond of this shape, I just realised Iāve drawn it before

Here is a rough Perspective View. Much more work than I thought it would be. May take awhile.

Made
some progress on the back section.

I should probably dig up Blender and do some quick modeling on those top and side views of mine. Problem isā¦ Iāve forgot almost everything about how it works 
I can do a very fast and simple 3D grays scale model for ya Lucas!

That would be super awesome
I would need a render from the same angle that you took that perspective view of your ship plus maybe one from below at roughly the same kind of angle.
Edit: or maybe the rendering of the bottom should be from the behind so that the engine layout is visible.
Got these just to show. Took about 30 minutes. I will add a few more sections.

Haha thatās genius! Especially the turret
So competition turns into cooperation? I might ask LucasFIN to make the sideviews for me

Sure! And then Universal can use those side view to make the perspective for you
Looking good!
The seams on the side near the number 12 make it look like the hull lacks some curvature(?).
Edit: Alsoā¦ the brown area below those big front guns is actually flat. Now it looks like it has steps.
Looking forward to the finished model
Ok this should do. Dont
know if angle is what ya need.
