A big happy 12th birthday to Wing Commander CIC this week just been! It looked awesome, so many new posts on the site in one day.

Also Happy 1st Birthday to Frontier as Part 1 was released exactly 1 year ago today (as it’s still August 13th in most parts of the world).

Pre-production has been the order of the day this week, with the loyal voice actors going over their scripts and sending me their lines, then possibly redoing them again in different ways – thanks guys for all your efforts, you know who you are.

In Part 13 we are going to see No’ocar’ytic (pronounced ‘Na-ooca Yidic’) – the Dakota Colony on Toyr’diablo – so that means that the colony has to be created. And thus sketches of the particular Spartan Dakota colony buildings have been done, and the modeling and skinning has also begun.

The Dakota colony will be sizably the biggest scale model in the entire movie. You can see here the process with the sketches (very crap ones as I’m a pretty shoddy sketcher) (but please note that Frontier PTD coffee mug! A nice addition to any scifi followers computer desk), and after the sketches comes the modeling, you can see how it goes here.

So that’s what’s happening with Part 13 at the moment, stay tuned for more next week and don’t forget that Wednesday (Tuesday for the most of the world) is now the official ‘Item of the Week’ day, where I will be posting another article to go into the Frontierpedia. So keep you eyes on the site that day.
