Title: Maximilian [finished]
Post by: Tobsen77 on January 25, 2009, 09:07:44 PM
Hi,

this is the unmanned floating device Maximilian. It is equipped with a huge boiler on the back, which provides enough steam to float for about 4,5 hours. This configuration is armed with a machine gun and a claw. With its powerful main jet it floats up to 3 meters over the ground and the 4 smaller jets maneuver it in every direction. A too complicated to explain gyrodevice stabilizes this about 1 ton heavy machine in the air. Attack speed is up to 40 km/h.

hi... made some tracks for him and finished the gun... still no good idea for the other arm, i might just give him the same gun as on the right side...

Very nice, and more plausible, if I dare say so. I´d suggest a manipulator/claw for the left arm - why did you take off the hand from the first pic? Looked nice, although some plastic rod for joints wouldn´t do any harm.

Great work on Maximilian!  I'd have the left arm end in a nozzil that re-directs steam from the back boiler for a close ranged defense weapon.

That's awesome, as always. What about a drill on the other arm for fighting Land Ironclads and the like?

Communism suits him, I feel. Very nice indeed.
Perhaps a flag is needed? Soviets did like flags...
