Kei's and Yuri's Rides (More Dirty Pair stuff)

[mpennock]

I've been continuing to work on and off on my Dirty Pair project - I tend to work on several projects at once - and I have finally come up with some aerial transport for them. The biggest problem that I encountered was finding a vehicle that would fit on a typical terrain board without taking up half of the table. In one of the novels, Kei and Yuri use small, one-man (or in this case, one-woman) fighter craft called Shooters which are piloted while lying down. Armed with the book's description and some unused design sketchs from one of the anime series, I created a 3D solid model and had it printed by Shapeways.







I went with red as the base color for the Shooters, because their ship is described as being red in the novels. The caricatures on the tails are lifted from Project EDEN.

Enjoy,

Mike

Now if only I could work out how to do something half as good as them.

Excellent pod-fighters! If I only knew how to 3D model, I'd start digging through my old Newtype magazines for designs...

Thanks for all the comments!

That's pretty much what I've been doing.
