the 2 "cannons" are funnels that cause a corrosive foam to gush out. foam is contained in containers.

[AZZKIKR]

triple post!

my first aircraft model. the kirov gunship!



Comments please

[Wizard]

Would be nice to see it from an angle that isn't profile. But it looks ok if a tiny bit on the long side. Perhaps make it a touch more bulbous than slender.

The cannon turrets need to be way rounder, it looks like it'll collide into the balloon if it rotates too far.
You may also want to add tail fins.

[AZZKIKR]

Thanks for the comments. here


better?

[Wizard]

WHOA JESAS!!!

That is one hella busy looking model you have there. Is it supposed to be an elongated Death Star? I'd suggest removing some turrets/guns, get rid of the supports (leave it to the skin) and generally make it a but plainer. It is way to cluttered right now and looks like a lumpy balloon animal more than an airship.

ok then. but i can't skin unfortunately, if anyone were to help?

anyone?

[BeefJeRKy]

As Wiz said, it looks quite cluttered. Move those front cannons to where the bottom and make it a double tri-cannon config (i.e. 6 cannons total). Get rid of some of the props too. Finally, the tail needs a fix. Looks horribly out of place. The model has potential though.

yes i did, my bad.

I don't see any real need for the tail, Zeppelins turn due to the fans and float with the helium and lift props.

Removing some of the guns and perhaps doing a little more with the understructure, antenna or something to communicate with the ground etc.

[AZZKIKR]

i can't render with gmax. plus render suite seems to have a problem, must be due to my vista

[AZZKIKR]

redone

[Dauth]

Significant improvement, not perfect yet but a lot better.

I'd add some sort of lift prop on the front third or the stress will buckle any chassis you care to name. The helipad on top is a nice touch.

[pirate]

that looks a lot better , I mean a helideck on a zeppelin, dude, what else can you want

Ah now THAT is NICE! As Dauth said, move some lift props to the middle at least. And now the tail looks well proportioned too. Overall great job!

[pirate]

I would suggest keeping those props at the back as they are, adding new ones a bit more to the front would be better I think

[AZZKIKR]

Lift propS? can't seem to find them on google. and model was based on RA2 concept

Propellors. Put some propellors in the front or middle instead of just keeping them in the back.

[AZZKIKR]

ok?

[Dauth]

Make them a little bigger and I think you have a winner. You could also extend the box underneath the main balloon back a bit.

[AZZKIKR]

better?

[Dauth]

Much. I like is a lot now. Well done mate.
