I can't believe it! I've wanted to have a picture of Blake's ship ever
since I first saw it about 12 or 13 years ago! It's great!

Nope, don't watch it any more, but that looks pretty damn close to what I 
remember from my childhood and/or the episodes I caught a couple of 
years back.

Although to be slightly more accurate, ditch the media round the back 
end, and try to make it look a bit more like a painted table tennis ball 
<grin>

Oh, and I like the starfield.  not too dense, and stars don't show up as 
irregular splodges.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Yes, those are the laserguns.  Very ineffective.  It can only shoot
forwards.
But, hey, it looks impressive, doesn't it?

You might be right.

It's a crackle-pattern.
It's explained on my site.

Great image, havn't seen Blake 7 for about 20 years.

Some real good textures and blairing type effects 
around the lights.

Good enough for dog-chases.

Menacing, I'll give you that. :)

Looking good, but the texture is wrong. Yours looks metallic and
space-worthy. You need a cheesy cardboard and squeezy bottle texture.

Also, the original had thin filiments extending vertically upwards from
several points on the hull. I believe they were used in navigation.

Similiar filiments can be seen on various spaceships and craft in Dr Who,
Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, etc.
