Description
This is my entry for this months Rhino challenge. It started out basically as a VTOL transport / rescue craft, with a two seater cockpit and a twin engined rear end with swivelling engines. I did up a centre section with sliding doors that seats six. From this came a weapn pod centre section, to make a gunship, and then the rest of the bits. To make a more versatile transport I did up a new rear section with four vectoring engines and a rear ramp that can seat twelve. This uses the same cockpit section and the range of short mission pods as required. I reckon that it is possible to get nine seperate craft out of these parts. I'll post some pics of the bits joined up tomorrow, thanks for looking!

very neat work !
now this i like!!! very much so!!! i'm really into modular designs!! top notch work!! got any plans in releasing this as a freebie of other??... :)
Outstanding! as always...
Beautiful job, keep this up and you will have to write a book on miltary modeling.
Very nicely put together!
Premium quality as always. Five for you!
Very crisp and economical design work. I hope that the universal front section has vertical thrusters, otherwise, it'll be nose-heavy. Other than that one nit-pick, it's a spectacular work! I love the modular fit of the pieces and general 'feel' of it! I really, REALLY want to see some assembled vehicles! Woot! ^__^ V,,
Thanks for the positive feedback guys! I have a few rough renders I'll post of completed configurations in a few mins. >Joelglaine, there are indeed thrusters built into the nose section! There are four motors, two each side of the cockpit fed by the side inlets. The four of these should give enough thrust to allow hovering.
Here is a link to a pic showing three configurations. http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1355156
Pretty neat design. Sorta feels like the offspring of a Space:1999 Eagle and an A-10. Both are very ultiliarian, but sorta sexy in their own functional way. It could be cool to offer a bit of a modularity in the cockpit area, too - say maybe a sensor suite or ECM package in place of the nose gun. I'd love to see this thing textured up with full weathering.
Very cool model!
Excellent model. Very well thought out!
Great job. Realistic design!
Have you given any thought to putting these and the finished set in the market in this format? Or converting them for use in poser
Well done again, Brian. Both model and renders are excellent. You are a master!
Nice! Wish it were for poser those would come in handy ^^
why dont you do a video tutorial that might be great even if you sell it or for free you can use a screen capture application
f**k me Briano thats impressive! (Your probably only used to hearing that from ladies...)
