 October 13, 2008 - 3:41pm | Putting together vehicle meshes, and ultimately images for game. The skin is just a throw together atm, and will be revised. based on the gun traks from GZG. plenty more coming, just take a bit o' time! Note no turret at this time, will be tomorrow at the earliest. |
October 15, 2008 - 2:37pm |  A little update. I've completed a missle version of the fast trak, plus some other varients - one noteable one utilising screen technology. Rules to follow. The painting was what took the time, hence the slow response. Can only get faster! |
October 15, 2008 - 11:06pm | Thanks, it took about 30 mins to make the mesh and about 2 hours mucking about with the skin. Made the mesh in Wings3D, and did the shadows, background in photoshop. If you want the meshes to play with, drop me a line and i'll forward it to you. |
October 17, 2008 - 2:48pm |  one of several things im currently working on - air transport, as well as a gunship and 'cycle. will update you all once completed. 'til then... |
 October 17, 2008 - 3:53pm | Are you following the AD rules for ground, hover and jetcopter vehicles or are you going to introduce repulsor lifts, anti-gravity? |
October 18, 2008 - 6:04am | I'm initially following what has been put forward in AD, but if there's anything plausible put forward, and it fits within the general storyline/ timeline, then it's worth considering. I've been thinking about the batteries used in AD and i think these are generally impractical in battle conditions - plus the science behind batteries has already been covered in a previous topic. I was thinking broadly along the lines of a gravity based power source, where gravity is converted to electric power. Maybe too fantastical and only a thought just now - need to look more into this. |
 October 18, 2008 - 5:42pm | I really like that air-transport! |
October 18, 2008 - 8:41pm | I really like that air-transport! I like it as well. Somehow it reminds me of Dune.  |
October 18, 2008 - 11:58pm | All these models that im building are based on GZG miniatures; there are some pictures on the site - the air transport is one of them. |
October 19, 2008 - 1:36pm |  update on the air transport - not happy with the texture, but it will do for the time being - too many other models to build to get fussy at this stage. I plan to build another 2 or 3, then get cracking with the rules. The dust has settled long enough to see for any cracks. |
October 19, 2008 - 1:40pm |  another quick mesh up of the gunship.More to do, so must get on... |
October 19, 2008 - 2:51pm |  finito fer the night. I'm going to give this a break for a couple of days and start to put the rules and army lists together in some organised form. forgot to mention, this is based on the infantry walker, courtesy of GZG - Depending on time, I'm going to look into putting together a couple of meshes based on SF09 - those walkers and the stories gave me inspiration - hence why they're in this book. As always, lets see what happens! |

I plan to build another 2 or 3, then get cracking with the rules. The dust has settled long enough to see for any cracks. Could you post the site URL? The "wing" parts of this transport could have hover fans. :-) |
October 20, 2008 - 5:15am | The air transport looks great, very very cool! |

If you need the mesh, I'll happily send it onto you, but all the info is on my personnel drive at home. If you're after the wings3d website, check this out: www.wings3d.com/ |
