DAMN IT PEOPLE, READ THIS FILE.
Now that I have your attention, I would like to first of all (since
nobody seems to notice it at the bottom) request that IF YOU USE MY MODEL
IN AN ANIMATION OR PICTURE, and PUBLISH THE PICTURE PUBLICLY IN
SOME FORM,
e-mail me, and tell me what you did and where you put the file. I've
noticed multiple people on the internet failing to do this, which annoys me
to no end since I've been nice enough to publish the fruits of my labor,
and that's all I ask in return.
Anyway, I decided to make this model after finding four particularly
good renderings of the original model on the internet. Although Conor
Clancy has a very nice stylized Thunderbolt available, I wanted one with
sufficient accurate detail to be used in animations and pictures.
This is actually the second attempt that I put forth to create a
Thunderbolt model. The first failed miserably, because I built in in
pieces, which didn't fit together very well <grin>. Needless to say, this
model pleases me to no end.
Unlike my previous models, this one is heavily texture mapped. The
actual model is only 80k, with the rest of the 1.4 meg of files being made
up of imagemaps. Due to the quality of the maps, both extreme close-ups
and high resolutions look good with this model.
Although the archive includes objects for maneuvering the fighter in
3D, the scene file doesn't include any of those motions - if someone who is
better at animation than I am would like to put together a better scene
file, showing some of the maneuvers possible with the Thunderbolt, I would
be more than happy to include the scene and credit in this archive.

Feel free to make changes to the object but please do not distribute
the modified model. If you think your changes would improve the model as a
whole, please e-mail me and tell me what you've done. [to repeat myself]
You may also use this object in your own scenes, but e-mail me if you make
them publicly available. Thank you.
Season to taste.
