Shield Helicarrier Project. (wip)

Todays mission, carry on with the ironwork and details around the rear engine so I can get an overall "feel" of how to progress.

 

[Rodeown]

Close up of some of the metal work details going into the helicarrier.

The engines now extend to the rear Rotor cowls, also see the iron scaffold under the upper flight deck, need to remove some plating from rear of body and curve it up to the rear to join with the engines, was always unsure of the rear bodywork until I could fit the rear engines in, now I have some direction as to where I am fitting to now.

 

[Rodeown]

Today I have been doing some details on top of rear Rotor fins, added the buildings there going back to the rotor and the upper cowl to the rotor with a style line around it and some detailing.

 

[Calhoun]

Ah, but does it cloak like the original? :D

 

[Rodeown]

Ah, but does it cloak like the original? :D

:-D there is probably enough room inside to provide enough cloaking for the ship, nothing else just cloaking lol.

Today I have been spending some time doing the rear wing vents behind the rotor, also added some more details to upper surface.

 

[Rodeown]

worked on the rear vents exhausts/ jets on the wings today and built some of the underside rotor cowl and built the wingtip ends with vents.

 

[Rodeown]

Been trying to make a rotor that looks something like, it only has 8 blades ATM, looks like I will need to make intermediary blades to take it up to 16, don't think the original 20 is an option.

spawned in 3 more and spun them up to give me an idea what she would look like & it is looking good, will take a while to get these looking right but am confident I can do it. Game takes a FPS hit with them rotating but not too serious.

Coming along swimmingly. I love watching this build progress.

 

[Rodeown]

As the animated gif didn't "animate" for some reason here is a progress video showing the four rotors in place and spinning, I need to build the centre cones over them and do a lot of work around them but they are looking pretty awesome!

 

[jstenholt]

Wow...

Throw some ice on those engines though, looks a bit bright.

Don't think so, I did my research good and think mine are actually not as bright as the originals.

 

[jstenholt]

Bright was the wrong word to use, sharp is what I meant.

You see how there in that picture things are a bit more blurry? Like exhaust behind a jet engine? That effect is best when you have ice a few blocks behind the crystal.

Ok, we don't all have super fast broadband so my upload took three hours while I was out...

Bro's helicarrier... From my perspective.

 

[Rodeown]

Just added the yellow highlights across the jets.

 

[Kaisaurus]

Well that is a massive build ! Impressive !

What are the current stats ?

 

[Rodeown]

Got some time working on the rotor hubs today, had to make a compromise though, the original only had 6 support arms. I tried it with 4 but it looked wrong so attempted 6 and failed so ended up with 8 which actually looks very acceptable.

You are a master recreationist.
