 February 19, 2018 - 8:14pm | I stumbled across an author's website (Ryk Brown) for a series he calls "The Frontier Saga." I've only skimmed over his posts, but it was his conceptual art that I was intrigued with. Joe Cabadas |

 February 20, 2018 - 9:11am | Still seems rather brick-like to me. I'd always imagined them as more like big aircars, at least with ducted fans of some sort rather than jet nozzles. |
 February 20, 2018 - 9:54am | While it looks light years better than the Bodycomp illustration that was published in Zeb's (oh, wait...THAT was an air transport?!?), my only reservation is Winnebago wheels instead of skids. |

 March 4, 2018 - 1:38pm | I was thinking Panzers from R Tal's old Cyberpunk 2020, which is pretty much the same thing. http://cyberpunk.asia/images/vehicule/AV-6_Combat_Aerodyne.jpg |

March 6, 2018 - 7:06am | I was thinking Panzers from R Tal's old Cyberpunk 2020, which is pretty much the same thing. http://cyberpunk.asia/images/vehicule/AV-6_Combat_Aerodyne.jpg I was looking at this image and considering how I might model one of these. ONE idea was to buy a toy VW van and chop it up and scratch build something. but then I rememberd a decade ago I built a vacuum mold machine for a terrain building project and could do some small pieces. And suddenly I remembered we have a new shop vac but saved the motor from the old one to cobble up a leaf blower (Dad's idea even though we can totally use the new shop vac as a leaf blower). This has me wondering if I shouldn't build a new vacuum mold machine on a larger scale in the basement. sculpt a "van" body out of clay and mold a styrene sheet onto it. Wait I already have enough with my Seige on the Borderlands project! Dope slap to forehead. Checking ebay for a VW toy I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
