Something tells me I'm going to need to go back and do a bottom panel on the food truck, even if I don't try to model thrusters
Looks to be a rather utilitarian little beast

Is this available as is? I'm messing about with minimalist stuff.

I decided to shrink it by 20% as it looked a little out of proportion next to the minis and was able to fit all of the parts on page. Here are some Terra Force troops trying to decide what is the greater threat; And yes, coreyhaim8mydog here is the vanilla version; LINKI'll be throwing colors at it for the next few days.

Window progress that I think I'm happy with - Would it be possible to add layers with alternative window colors to the final PDF? Like black or orange/red (for UV-filter polarisation) or a green tint?

Awesome shuttle pod... Seeing them in a chain like that makes me think of a train or the linked cars in Minority Report... Hmm.

Yes- I don't know what time I'll have this weekend to work on this so if you don't want to wait here is my photoshop work file; Air Raft - PSDIf you do make something with this file please post your versions either here or in the Hoard #158 submissions thread so that they can be bundled up at the end of October. I also revised the blank pdf a touch and re-uploaded it. Have fun!

I really like the brown version. And I keep pulling it up and looking at it, trying to figure out why it seems 'right'.
I think it is because it isn't typical. Blue, grey, red, and white shuttles are out there. Tin-soldier did the green vtol. The workbee in yellow.
Other than the Moldy Crow, there's not much in brown. I like it

"How quickly can this thing take off?" Still working on the Halloween Horde (16 pages!) and the shuttle has become possessed!

That must be the one. It sure matches my 'brown' belt
Going back to 'utilitarian', I picture this guy being used to ferry workers and equipment to projects. CAT yellow might not be a bad choice

I think I'm done, I'll do a bunch of pdf exports, a cut-file, and a layered pdf version this weekend. In the meantime, my wife tells me this is an industrial yellow color; Air Raft-Industrial Yellow

Cool! I'm a little jealous, I have yet to make one of my colored versions. Did you run into any difficulties in the assembly?

Post by Vermin King on Oct 7, 2017 16:09:29 GMT -9
No difficulties. While the fold-overs are drying, do the top edge while things are open. Work down to where the body starts curving under, then glue the bottom piece on. That leaves the two lower body flaps to glue down, then the legs. Very easy build, if you leave those two lower body panels until last

Changed my mind, I'm just going to post the full .psd file I used for my work instead of laboring over a layered pdf. People can then make variants from that to their hearts content. I'm working on some light bolt-on weapons for when these jeeps get pressed into tactical service. At the moment I have a nose cannon and some rocket pods.

I'm actually thinking about modding the "white" one by just adding warp nacelles, ship name and registry, and calling it a day...

Air raft with guns - I don't believe this would be a dedicated AFV, more of a tactical or improvised assault vehicle. For added fun, if you use this in a sci-fi rpg, the nose cannon uses the same power as the anti-grav engines. So when the cannon shoots the engines turn off...the trick is to dive on the target and shoot then restart the engines to avoid plowing face first into the planet. An idea from a David Drake story I read. I've put all of the Air Raft variants and weapons in my section here; www.onemonk.com/squirmydad-dl.html
