WIP name - it's the pre-Ragnarok viking god of Fire.

This is what i've spent the last week on... I'm attempting to get a more realistic (closer to :v:) mapping style, although the 'hull lines' will probably be dropped in the next model.  It's a mix of work on PSP7 and Adobe Photoshop, which I'm learning justnow.

May revise the 'electromagnetic propellor ring' thingie textures.






Tech fluff :D

The GTB Surt was rushed into production towards the end of the second war with the Shivans, although the destruction of Capella ended the anticipated long campaign.  The Surt differs from conventional heavy bombers such as the Ursa and Boanerges, in that it is designed to utilise a magnetically accellerated shell.  The Surt was in fact designed to carry the 'Type 1' mass driver, capable of rapid firing up to 15 light uranium tipped shells in just under 2 seconds.   2 other varients of this weapon have been developed.

Since the Capella nova 3 years ago, the existing Surt class bombers have seen extensive use in border rebellions.



4 guns, 1 missile bank (the 'gun') firing specialised weapons.  Fairly Ursa-like in perfromance, although a bit smaller methinks.

Thats a very good work. That designe is intressting and the Tex are awesome. When you make more such progress we will have some very good models.
BTW do you have made it just for fun or do you plan something with it?

really nicely done there Aldo.

design wise I don't like the wing mounted double barelled gun.
It is badly placed tactically & looks out of place.

The Mass driver cannon is nice.  Can it fire larger bombs at a lower Rate of fire? sort of like lobbing a cyclops at a cruiser at 300 m/s .

Not sure yet.  I had a second campaign idea I was going to work on after Reciprocity, which I might use it for.  I'll probably release it reagrdless... it was really just a concept model to work on texturing. (the lighting settings on 3dex kind of give a false impression, actually - there's a shedload of shading on the maps that is being 'overridden' by the max strength lighting)

And the side gun placement is straight off an Ursa ;) .... although the ships closer to Artemis size.

:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw:  WOW. The one thing I don't like about it is the gun on the side. Its to far away from the center to hit any thing but a really big target, just like the Ursa.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.
