Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - Torvette - 11-16-2009

EDIT : GO THROUGH MY MOST RECENT POST ON NEXT PAGE TO SEE PICS OF THE UPDATED MODEL. I HAVE UPDATED THE MODEL TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE COOL AND PHANTOM-LIKE

Hi guys, I have made another humble attempt to design a gunboat for the phantoms. If the Wild can have a gunboat, I believe that the phantoms should also have one. I am still amateur at modelling, so please spare any flaws you may find in the model.

SHIP INFO

Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat

With the houses and even the pirates like Corsairs and Outcasts regularly upgrading their ship-building technologies, the phantoms knew that to carry on their sinful practices, they need to come up with a counter-force very quickly. The result is the Merihim. Designed keeping in mind the limited resources of the phantoms, the Merihim is an agile and cunning ship which the phantoms use both to defend their sacred temples and to spread terror and chaos in the name of their Dark Gods.

Hull strength : 94000
Power Output : 500
Gunboat Turrets : 7 (6 forward, 1 backward)
Cargo hold : 400
Additional equipment : CD, CM

Thats it guys...... please provide your feedback

I like this concept. The only thing that I might suggest is sweeping the wings back a bit more and making it more compact. But, that's just the way I like things to look.

Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - Fletcher - 11-16-2009

Looks like a rather nice 'Phantom-esque' model, although, I suggest the texture gets changed so we can see all the detail of the model better, its hard for me to pick it all out here.

Also, what is with the massive circle ports on the nose? Are those weapon slots or aesthetic?

EDIT: Can we get a comparison with another similar class vessel?

can you post the model without the textures? with them i cant really make out some of the details, not to mention its really putting me off :/



Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - Prysin - 11-16-2009

looking good, now you just need sum black texture and make it tiny bit smaller... i also think "wings" should be wider and more swept back

This would be my request as well.

Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - Torvette - 11-17-2009

Since most of you guys have requested to post the model pics without the textures.....hence I am uploading images of the ship without the textures. Once again your feedback is welcome.

Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - Jinx - 11-17-2009

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.

I like it.


It's a grand start...

I like the agility, Claymores are fun.




Could do with:

Newer textures, something smoother and sleeker.

A much better 'flow' of things in general, like Jinx said, the wings look glued on a little :/

To look less like a dildo? We already have a wang-boat, the Claymore.


Thats all I can think of for now, but this is pretty good so far.



Phantom 'Merihim' gunboat - RmJ - 11-17-2009

Soo i'll be raped in something that looks like it'll cut me in half...I love eet
