Nice proper steampunk style vehicle. I like the propellor on top and the obligatory big steam engine at the back. I'm in two minds about the small smooth shifted details on the wheels - I can see what you're trying to do there, but I think they may need a little more work (This is a Work in progress though!). Overall a nice start :beer:

:blush: Thanks guys.
I'm sure that I need to work on it a bit more. It's not just a "one night stand"...

This was my initial idea, a small and fast sketch.

:p As you can see, it was just an idea. I've drifted from it a bit...

Heh, best ideas have some sort of "Project creep" as they call it. I do like the concept of the single seated flying machine though. Very much in keeping with the steampunk genre! :attn:

Thanks fellows. :beer:

I had a bit of problems. It didn't went as fast and smooth as before.

Some of the parts had to be remodeled, and I'm sure that I would need to rearrange some of them again in the future.

It doesn't look like a big progress, but hey, this is the current situation. :attn:

Looks like good progress to me. You've got the seating in and the nice long handles to control the thing...the front lamp looks good too.

pretty neat! my main crit would be that it seems very "blobby" right now, without much in the way of defined edges in some places, such as the round circles on the wheels and such.

When I began modeling this vehicle, I aimed to get as less polygons as possible.
I though that you'll tell me something like "Dude, these are way too many... We told you it shold be Low Poly."

That thought guided me when I've placed the poly count at the top. I thought that you'll kick me off right away due to large amount of them. :lmao:



Ahh... Forget about it.

Your suggestion for me now is to increase the number of the edges, right? :nod:
Thanks. :beer:
