Two weeks in and starting to make a dent on the internals. The basic layout is:

-Engines and powerplant up front in the forks

-Energy storage running in the tray below

-Pressurusied and insulated cabin fitted onto the tray

-Large radiator up front and cooling vanes at the rear.

-Avionics running down the centre tunnel

-Forward looking infra-red and cameras on retractable turrent

Iv'e decided to make some time this year to take part in the Polestar Design Contest, if not to enter the competition but to have a fun promt to do something creative. I have taken the general flow and lines inspired from the Precept/5, and put my usual scifi spin on them to create a Polestar Spinner (aka Blade Runner). Still a long way to go in order to refine the shape and iron out the creases, create an interior and rig it up for animation, but I hope to find the time over August.

Here are my first attempts from week one. You can read more about the content here.

WIth just over a year since Syd Mead passed away I thought I would try a mixup of two of my favourite Volvo sketches he did while working at our office with a Cyberpunk spin. Its influenced also by the Volvo FMX a more utility indutrial looking truck.

Some more work on the basic blockout almost ready for the details!

Its been a long summer and even longer learning Blender. This week brings me into week 25 so I thought I would round off the year and see what i have learnt. 

I decided to model the Sea Fury one of my favourite aircraft as a kid using a mix of SubD and Skrinkwrap, here are the first two days work:

Kitbash Halo Frigate work in progress

Here is an update of my Powerloader with placeholders removed and starting to get its Volvo yellow color scheme.

Ive been working on a project to replicate the NASA Powerloader by Jason Hazelroth over the summer break. This is quite a complicated model so hopefully I will learn a few things along the way.
