Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat

[Jinx]

just a comment about the method of modelling

the main body of the ship might still be too simple. - you have made use of mostly basic shapes it appears. ( stretched spheres )

the wings, while sufficiently detailed, are just "plugged into" the main body - but they don t appear to be really connected to it. - a little like a simple woodcut plane that you build out of 3 pieces ( one centerpiece with 2 slits, where you place one larger woodcut into it as the wings and another smaller one as the tailfin )

about the size

the canopy suggests that its rather small. - many gunboats have a bridge rather than a canopy. - the difference isn t really terribly great - but its a little difference. - if this canopy was the size of - lets say - the sabres canopy, the whole "gunboat" wouldn t be much larger than a VHF. ( larger still, but not much )



as a whole, the concept is OK. - what it does not do however is transport the feeling of being "alien" or "strange but technically ahead". - if painted green, it may also be a rheinland custom job.
