A big personal project I'm working on these days for fun. Original design, inspired by the anime Last Exile [link] and early flying machines [link]

This pic shows 3 days of work.

The actual balloon part will be revealed in due time ;) And I'm still going to add lots more detail to this part.

Feel free to critique :)

Made in Rhino 5 trial

(updated July 5th)

maybe its just me but i dont think those screws are very steampunk because even steampunk has some fact to it and those screws would NEVER be able to push anything through the air

thanks for the feedback

i was going for the look of the really old flying machines that always crashed. they're very provacative to me. but you're right this probably wouldn't work

the design is supposed to look like it was designed by a guy who might not have known what he was doing (me lol), to add a theme of experimental flight

the only question now is, should i go for that theme, or for a more plausible propulsion system.

if i do choose the latter, i want to make it wierd and whimsical :)

The model is very solid so far ! Be sure to check the front where the hull intersects with the vertical parts - they seem to overlap in quite a strange manner. If renders turn out good then it's ok but you might have some problems when they have different textures and reflective/glossy elements.

is the balloon going to sit on ionic columns or are those just filler? :)
