DefianceIndustries has a very large new model ready to go in the Secret Ops Model Upgrade Pack. The Vesuvius class Mount St. Helens is nearly set for its cameo fight against the Nephilim. It's got tons of locations marked off for weapon emplacements and a really cool fly-through flight deck. There's still work to get to get the turrets looking right, but DI's already overcome a major sizing issue with some help from gr1mre4per. The later pictures have it functioning in its full 1600 meter glory!
Sometimes when life hands you lemons (in the form of critically bugged meshes) you can use the opportunity to redo your work...because...yay! Here's the St. Helens v.2.0. This one is much more faithful to the original WC4/WCSo mesh; not as chunky and has more rounded edges. I also changed up the stern to make it more faithful. I was able to salvage the hangar off the original as well as some of the parts (mostly the small stuff like the turret sponsons) The best part: it imports without a bunch of missing faces! I'll post up some in-game shots in a bit - but to sate your thirst for all things Vesuvius...here are some new blender renders. I also updated the SO model with the darker texture I made for HW:RM. I think it looks snazzy. And finally, the turrets are the originals and are just slapped onto hardpoints on the mesh to get it "working". This is very much a work in progress...
