Default M.O. - Mobile Outpost

Been itching to start this WIP... a massive wheeled vehicle used as a outpots that house soldiers in remote areas or slow patrols...

...here is the first step, the hull will have a lot of redesigning...

Yeah, forgot abou that ...



The 'windshield' of the vehicle is too big in this shot because it makes it look too small, while in actual fact, it can house a platoon of soldiers...

Not sure if I should increase the wheels to 6 instead of 4....

The wheels actually house the electric motors for propulsion, leaving more room in the chasis for the soldiers and equipment...

I'd go for the set of six wheels... seems it'd make it look more "monsterous" in size.

Six it is then, I'll just have to adjust the chasis to fit in two more attachment joints, if I lengthen the chasis, it might also increase the sense of size and 'monstrosity'

Added a set of wheels and redesigned the hull structure... there is a labeled image that shows how the compartments are devided with basic descriptions, this is just the initial layout, much more detail to follow...

[can't link to images on my site so i made single image webpages ]

Decided to create a blog to quickly add new changes since updating my website takes too much time, so here is the latest changes for the M.O. design...

Hmm, the new one is not approved yet, maybe I should put it on a webpage to view... which site was the one with the bothersome ads?

Got a new version coming, uploaded it to the gallery, just waiting for it to show, then I'll post a link here...

Redesigned the shape, didn't like the rounded shape of the old one... new looks much better, a little more angular but nicer...
