Competition #13 - Mtg_Kirin

Mtg_kirin · 09-02-2008, 08:23 PM

Hey 1st time poster. A friend pointed me here. So thought I would try to fit this in my schedule.

My ship is based of a solar sail plan. Its going to have ships dock in the the roof. and ill be adding more detail to the sides. The concept is its a slow moving barge, like a market. That front is a large dining area. Because it runs on solar sails doesnt move very fast
count is at 1476 so far.

Hello,

Those Solar Sails sound like a great idea! Not many people are using that technology! I would give it a second thought on the "dining area". Perhaps try sketching some more ideas before getting your hands on improving this version. Good luck!

Well, I think the general idea is that these are war ships (the banner says "prepare for war") so I don't think a dining area would be a big priority on a war ship.

O good point will be rethinking this then

I would suggest working on a few drawings to get your idea firmly on paper, as then you wont find yourself working on models for ever. Im sure you can involve this as a market, or somthing similar atleast, like a shipyard. Just give it some guns and Im sure you will get away with it

Keep it up!

Ok so scrapped the idea of solar sails, doesnt work with war. So started a new idea. This ship will dock onto the side of the mother ship. Just rough ideas cause i couldnt really work much on it today

this is inspired by the wings from the castle in the sky gliders (couldnt find image sadly)
