May Art Challenge - Klaus

[Klaus]

This is going to be a WIP thread, as this idea will take some time if I can get it done...

I'm going for a "Steam Trek" racer... here's what I have so far, the nacelle assembly:

 

[S'kai]

Reminds me of "Sky Captain" or something Harkonnen, from the David Lynch "Dune". Seems to me the challenge would be getting the idea of speed into it.

OTHO, steam locomotives always seemed fast to me. (I grew up 3 blocks from the Pennsy main line).

 

[Klaus]

That will be something of a challenge to be sure, I hope to have more done this weekend...

 

[Technobuilder]

Just have to say that I like this idea and I'm eager to see what you come up with.

 

[Klaus]

ty! Here's a go at part of the hull structure... cockpit is next I think.

 

[Klaus]

Decided it needed a warp core, now on to the the cockpit...

 

[Santaman]

Very interesting work... hmm, might I suggest adding some brass fittings here and there to spice it up? You know like on old steam locomotives.

Whistles !! I wanna blow the whistle !!

ty.. I was planning on having more detailing in the cockpit area, but it's a good idea to add some on the rest of the ship too.

 

[Technobuilder]

Looking Good, eager to see the rest.

 

[Ziz]

Ummm....which end is the front?

 

[Klaus]

I've been waiting for someone to ask that! The warp core goes at the back lol, more soon!

 

[Klaus]

Well I'm not going to have the time to add as much to this as I'd like, but here's the cockpit added and some brass trim... I've got to work on a beauty shot for the actual entry still...

 

[Santaman]

That looks pretty awesome.

 

[S'kai]

It would fit in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. MHO, of course.

 

[deg3D]

Hey that's pretty cool dude.

[Klaus]

ty all! Bryce isn't the most forgiving software to model in but I like how this came out... I'll see if I can find time to give it a better cockpit area.

 

[Santaman]

Nice ship, nice brass fittings! now we need someone to shovel the space coal and off we go!
