UPDATE: I've got the Kushan (the good guys, referred to as R1 or "Race 1" in the game programming) Resource collector pulled apart in 3D Studio and I've got a reference prop worked up for painting, markings & surface detailing, I've also got a bulkhead & panel construction prop modeled accurately to all dimensions of the game model.
I'm sticking 3D Studio's version of measuring tapes on all the important dimensions and I've pulled the model apart by subassembly in the best way to SB it (at least that I can tell) so I'll post up initial blueprint pictures tonight if I can, I hope to have a complete reference package complete for anyone to download and build off of shortly.... with any luck, I hope to make these packages of reference material for many of the ships in Homeworld 1, perhaps 2... but HW2's ships were... well, mostly boring.
Anyone have any requests on another ship I can blueprint next, that they'd like to build?
FYI I'm blueprinting the model at 1/106th scale, as that made for the best average display-size model that isn't too huge to handle, but also not so small you can't see anything. For example the Resource collector is blueprinted at just short of 18" long (imagine a submarine shaped model if you've never played homeworld).
