Well, I have be quiet for several months. Real life has kicked me hard and I havent had much time for anything out side of family.
But in the last few days I have been able to find some time and goof around a bit.

This is part of what I am working on for the game world:
Traveller Mods.

Slightly modified from a Traveller product of some sort.
Edit: Sept 
Here is another that I still havent converted..
Hornet

will work on some stats at work this week.

Got a couple other images I am rebuilding at the moment.  Looks like there might be a trio in this style.

dual helicopter fans.
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Craft looks kool. I'm guessing a 2-seater with room in the back for a... um, for an I'D Card?Cool
Just kidding. Really, it'd be a good scouting vehicle after the PC's hull size 3'er landed. Seems like the Eleanor Moraes would have done a lot better with a few of them instead of those air gondolas.

I pulled that image from a Traveller product: Imperial Armed Forces Vehicle Guide Altair Sub-Sector: Set Number Two, Aircraft, Rotary & Fixed Wing.  By the Adjutant.

The image is taken from a hand drawn one in the book. I just put it in MSpiant and started cleaning up the lines and making some adjustments.  But there is not much variation from the original.

SO i am sure its a copywright infringement of some sort there.... Let me know the legalities of that and putting it in SFMan.

And yes, it is supossed to be a two-person scout vehicle.

Henry Ford could not Sue General Motors just because thier car had 4 wheels too. Just make sure you modify the picture enough that it looks like a different enough vehicle. Add tailfins and a spare tire or something. Then you have something new and no posable violation.So remove the landing Skids and put on 4 wheels and you should be good.

True but the Wright Brothers did try to sue anyone who tried to build a plane as a patent infringement- didn't work and as plane manufacturers they dropped out of the public eye over time.

They both came from the same booklet.

Eventually I will stat them out as well. Going to use the Dragon mag articles for that.
Was gong to try tonight, but work went too long.
Have fun!
