Cargo Pods

**DagobahDave** · #1 05-23-2013, 05:38 PM

A peek at some Cargo Pods for space adventures. This might be my next set for the shop, since it's just two pages and I'm going to have a lot of fun coming up with color schemes and markings. These cargo pods are about 4.5" long and include 6 types of add-on modules, each with multiple mounting locations, so you can give each pod a unique appearance. Expect a few weathering layers too, since these sorts of things always seem to look best when they're covered in rust and grime.

Texturing in progress. This shows a very "busy" option, with most of the panelization, weathering and markings layers visible. This needs some more shading before it's finalized.

I'm currently working on the second page of this kit, which features all of the optional stick-on modules. I'm about halfway done with that page, so at this rate the Cargo Pods will be available from the shop around Wednesday.

Nearly done with the main texturing on this kit. Then I can set up the multi-layer PDFs. I'm also planning to design a few ready-to-print versions, which will allow me to create some unique paint schemes.

I'm trying to come up with some cool "transport company" names that I can add to the cargo pods. Any ideas? So far I've come up with "Union Galactic" but I could definitely use some more.

Thanks for those! I'm finished with the multi-layered PDFs, but I'm creating some ready-to-print pods with markings and/or color schemes that aren't available in the multi-layered version, and I'll twist a couple of those company names for use there.

Looking forward to seeing them, Dave!
