WIP - Washington Class gunship

Any tips/suggestions before I got onto texturing?

Assuming those engine fans are full on circles, it does NOT make sense the way they're clipping in the engines. It's being displayed right now the fan blades from both fans will clip into each other. It realistically doesn't make sense. Adjustments would need to be made to make it work.

Noted. I'll fix that. Thanks.

my final decision was to remove the lower engine, it allows for retaining the shape of the engines while removing the issue.

Worth a shot, I'll experiment with it. You mean a vent grille like you'd find on a car?

AirmanEpic

here's the version post grilles. What do you think?

The grille version definitely looks better!

Thanks! Any other ideas?

You working from a concept or mood board?

Why are the thruster engines so far from the body?

Rektum

I like the overall design. The shapes of the engines balance well with the body. I kind of wish the body would turn up at the tail end to complement the lower end of the front. Also, it's not obvious that the engines could rotate down(they're supposed to right?)

@JEP: Yeah, I am. I guess. Mostly my inspiration came from a ship from conceptships.blogspot but I also used a lot of aircraft parts and sensors as inspiration.

@John Give room for the missiles, mainly.

@Rekt: Thank you. I agree, but it might be to late to actually do that part. Might try but it'll definitely look nasty. And yes, but I have no idea how I might imply that. If you look from the inside (Here) it's a lot more clear (And even more when textured).

thanks for the help guys


Another question: Does the kitbashing at the top help or make it nastier?
