Tales of Colossus

Alien inspiration!

Yes another ship. This one I modeled was inspired by this image. SO fun to figure out how to make those great organic shapes. i wasn't completely successful but I had fun trying. Now I just need to figure out how to make my own shaders for Sketch up and I can do even cooler stuff color texture wise. Always learning. MANDREWS OUT

Then add wings with weapons and you get another Klingon bird of prey variant!!!! Yeah baby!

ATTACK PLANE

Yes I love fighter craft. All sorts. But the hands down fav of mine are both the F-86 and the Mig15. Gorgeous design- sleek, deadly, swept wings. I drool. Another one of my all time favs is the F-4 phantom. With the elevators pitched downwards.... shear bad assness. anyway. I was playing around with making up my own Fighter attack plane inspired from my favs. Human in there for scale. And I gave it tons of heavy guns. Cause when it shoots you';re going down no question.

KLINGON DESIGN

Yeah yeah yeah, I thought I'd take a try and design my own version of a KLINGON "Bird of Prey". nuff said MANDREWS OUT

GENERATION SHIP

Its a concept that has been around a long looooong time. Colonizing another planet is the next step in space exploration, but not the moon, or mars, or some dinky asteroid, another earth is the prize target. So what do we do IF we find one? We go! but how? we don't have faster than light travel. So we build a ship to take a bunch of people that would live and die on the ship and in a few generations their descendants land on and colonize the planet. It science reality not Sci-fi and its happening now. 100YSS ( 100 year star ship ) is an organization dedicated to the research development and inevitably the making of a ship that will carry people 100 years away in space to a new earth. AWESOME. heres my concept for a GENSHIP. propelled by nuclear propulsion ( we have plenty on the planet:why not use 'em) to go .1 the speed of light. Make a 10 LYR journey in 100 yrs. its mankinds destiny. get on board. MANDREWS OUT

KUTOMSPAR 2

Did some more futzing around on the ol' Kutomspar. its taking shape. MANDREWS OUT!

KUTOMSPAR

Thats the name of this ship. In a moment of genius dyslexia I had come up with a total original name. Someone had asked where we were going and I replied "to Toms car." but it came out...."Ku-toms-par" Some friends and I were playing a sci-fi roll playing adventure and the name stuck for the name of our ship. So I thought I'd try and build it in sketch up. MANDREWS OUT

ATTACK SHIP

not that I have tons of idle time on my hands but I do have some time, so I can fill it reading, or drawing, or surfing the web, or..... MODELING FUN BITCHEN' SPACESHIPS. But to dream up my own designs.... hard. So I found this awesome ship by Pierre-Etienne Travers, on concept ships http://conceptships.blogspot.com/ ( an awesome website by the way) and built it best I could. Yeah yeah no shaders and lots of detail missing, I'm not great by any means, but it is meditative and soothing to model. I love the physical puzzle of building. So thank you mr. Travers fantastic ship.
