The Story...

The Cobra Mk2 is the model I've designed and built for X-Wing Alliance. It is mainly an armed cargo transport. Infact it is armed with 8 Turbo Laser cannons which serve to protect the ship against a number of adversaries. It is used by every faction in the Star Wars universe due to its versatility and strength.

I've modelled the Cobra by using the free modelling package Blender. It is not an easy software to use but there are tonnes of tutorials. Once you get to grips with Blender things will start flowing smoothly. With regards to the textures I used the Gimp which is another free software. Both Blender and Gimp are excellent tools for people like me who would like to build their own models for XWA and don't have the money or resources to get proper Modelling and Painting programmes.

I would like to thank the XWA upgrade community for keeping this excellent game alive and kicking. Also thanks go to Darksaber, General Tragetton and JM for their extremely useful resources and tutorials that are available for every one to use.

ENJOY breaking it apart :o)
