					        Federation Pursuit Ship
							  v1.0

						Created By: Kerry Bates
	
The Federation Pursuit Ship is from the BBC science fiction series Blake's 7, which originally aired 1978-1981. It was the brainchild of Terry Nation, creator of the Daleks, and despite its low production values and often ludicrous effects was regularly watched by an average of 10 million viewers during its initial four season run.

This model is based on the Starburst Class Pursuit Ship which seems to be the variant most seen throughout the series. The excellent Blake's 7 Technical Manual, available from Horizon: The Blakes 7 Appreciation Society (www.horizon.org.uk), was an invaluable reference while creating this model.

This model of the Federation Pursuit Ship was modelled in trueSpace 2. Textures were created in Photoshop 4.

Keep all textures in the same folder as the COB file.

I'd love to see any images/animations created with this mesh and also any feedback you may have on it would be gratefully received. I can be reached at: kezza@easynet.co.uk.
