Well, haven't posted a thread in a long while! ...then again, it's mostly due to schoolwork and my dorm's terrible wifi :P
BUT, for whatever reasons, the Machine God has smiled upon me and allowed me to upload a few screenshots of my next model, the N.S. Savannah.
I had a bit of fun designing the base, since that's usually where I'm given the most latitude with respect to physical design elements. I tried to go after the 'Googie'-type style of the 1960s (god I freaking hate the word 'Googie' though...), while at the same time keeping a maritime feel. As a result, I designed a minimalist base inspired by a captain's shoulderboards. I designed the stand with an upward slope and sweeping curves fore and aft, hopefully evocative of both the waves and the industrial accomplishment that this ship was, despite her shortcomings.
...hopefully the stand will look decent when I actually build it, haha.
