This is a large design for a modern city. Complete with infastructure including roads,waterways,parks,trains,port,airport e.t.c. I tryed to make the city as complete as possible having everything right down to a water supply from a reservoir and sewage treatment plant.
The drawing top right and ceter left is the core of the city and was completed first. The large blue skyscraper bottom left is 'Empire State 3000' and is a seperate design in it's self that I added later to the city as a focal point. Note the suspension bridge linking the airport to the city. |

This is my design for an Ekranoplan. The 'ekranoplan' was a secret soviet project conducted in the Caspian sea. These large aircraft used the w.i.g. {wing in ground effect}aerodynamic effect. Which in simple terms means that the aircrafts wings that are not designed or capable of creating conventional lift instead fuction like a hydrofoil. The aircraft 'floats' on a cushion of air that is trapped below the fusilage/wings. The craft can not rise above around 15 feet but avoids the drag that a conventional boat would encounter. Ekranoplans require powerful engines to achieve enough forward velocity to enable the w.i.g. effect.

I designed the 'Bigfoot' tank after playing Frank Herberts 'Dune'. The idea was to have a tank that is largly automated and runs on some kind of powerful electric like power. Making it self contained and compact. It's main weapon would be a rail gun which takes out the need for a barrel. It needs zero crew. The turret is essentialy the weapon and sensors ,with the chassis being the engine ,batteries, com & drive gear. I gave it very large tracks for operating in sand but more so for there dramatic look.
Check out the close up of the tracks bottom right as they took an age to design/draw. |
