I threw together together these models of tie fighters/interceptor. Do my lasers look ok? Also, does anybody have any ideas about adding details? I merely added little bumps and things almost randomly, I guess I should sit down, look at a picture and do it right.
C&C welcome!

Cool spaceshipe…
you need to increase the halo size (or if you’re using particles use the vect option.)
First of all, you have some nice models there. 
Second of all, turn on OSA when rendering, please. 
Third of all, to add detail I would definitely recommend finding reference pictures and trying to duplicate the detail from there as best you can.
Thats a cool Laser effect. I was thinking of doing something like that for a long time.
You know what could give your animation that extra touch of sophistication. Adding a quick burst of green light from a lamp that is parented to the lazer. So when the lazer fires, the green light goes off for a split second and reflects off the the T-fighter, giving that extra sense of realism.
What I’m saying is nothing new, its based on the fireworks tutorial at blender3d.org.
I love the old star wars movies 
specialy because of the x-wing and tie fighters, now u only need to texture the “planes” otherwice maybe more detail in the mesh, but KUTGW
Wow, thanks guys . Yes, I need to turn on OSA, gosh, I always forget that!
Ozo: thanks for the advice! I’ll have to try that over thanks giving! Free time! Yea!
Yes, and I definitely need to add more detail. Thanks!
