Ok, glad every one likes! Yea the light artillery pods are not finished, I still have to properly make the missiles and scale the pods up more. Hell I still have to put the hatch on the back of the pods! lol. Any comments like Jeffar are welcome guys as they might point out some thing I missed. One point though is that 2d and 3d don't always match up as 2d art is more subjective on scale, but I'll do my best to give a good representation in the 3D.

Once I'm done with these three models, I may very well go and do the recon scout pod, but I haven't decided yet. My hole reason for making the pods is that I would like to do an animated story that takes place before The Masters, but after the REF have left earth. I'm thinking a mountain base near a field of downed Zentraedi ships. The reason for the base is to salvage what they can of the ships materials. Think clean up and you get the job of the base. They patrol and demolish the fields. The material is then taken back to the base were the underground factory melts down the materials, what can be salvage, such as power cell, weapons system and so forth is salvaged. Haven't decided if it makes sense to also have the base manufacture as well though.

Now you have to figure that some Zentraedi still find their way to the fields and try to stir up trouble with pods and armor found there, that's part of why the base patrols as well. I'm thinking Logan's and hover tanks. Sadly the Ajac's time wise makes no sense, but there could be a garland or two, who knows. I have some other ideas for the story but I'll keep them to my self for now.

Hopefully I can put a pic of the base I have so far up for you to see as well. Let me know what you think.


Ok I was able to pop in a shot of the base before calling it a night!

Hell CavScout, I can't wait to see some footage! I have a three day weekend this weekend, I'm hoping to finish off the modeling phase of the BattlePod, sans the recon pod, for now. I have decided, it would make sense to have a recon pod for my story ideas, but I'd like to finish off the existing BattlePod and Airbase. As it stands I still need to make some crashed Zentreadi ships for the land scape and salvage story line.

Any takers on helping with my story ideas? I could use some one more knowledgeable then me to bounce story ideas off of, a modeler and or animator would be help too! Though I would like the story to be more then a few episodes, I may have to compromise for a four episode idea. Though a nice 26 episode story sure would be grand! Ok, I'll leave those thoughts out there for now. Lets see some feed back! :-)
