I figured that there'd be surplus Vipers after the war. What better way is there to use them.

Here's another one, it's a photo-recon Viper, modified with improved engines, recon gear, and removal of it's weapons. I drew this and was looking at it and realized that after all of that, I had drawn CORA (without the annoying AI).

I'm not completely satisfied with the recon pods and will probably change them in the future.

Since Safe@2nd wanted me to, I worked out a light bomber design. It's just a dorsal view for now, I'll hammer out a side view later. It's design is based on the SU-34 and F-111 bombers. It's mission, ground attack and strafing, as well as missile attacks, is based on the A-26 and B-25J. The wings are variable geometry, folding upwards for storage. The wingtips also fold for trim in atmosphere. It has a tail gun controlled by the gunner. I call it the Spectre Mk I.

These aren't BSG but I thought I'd post 'em anyway. They are all nowhere near being finished (thus the seams on the Ambassaor and the front line on the Miranda) and I haven't touched them in awhile. Enjoy, they are self-explanatory.

Talos,

The Spectre Mk I looks very impressive, I love the added bounus of the tail gun mount and the departure from the "tri engine" design.

Talos · 07-19-2006, 11:17 AM

Thanks. I decided that a tail gun would be more useful than a third engine. I'll start on a side view after I finish the Mk VII, thanks again for the orthos. They are awesome.

The Serenity's Fab so far

Also quite a complicated shape as well

I like your bomber so far! It'd be interesting to see the side view to see how the tail gunner sees.

Nice work on Serenity and the Trek ship too!

Those viper variants look nice, can't wait to see more.

Choo: Thanks, the Serenity's shape is a pain to do, but it it a beautiful ship and a fav of mine so it's worth the hassle.

Safe: The tail gunner sits between and behind the pilot and copilot and uses several camera and sensors below the tail gun like the radars on the B-52H.

Quetzal: Don't worry, more are coming, I'm working on a Mk VII based on the orthos Viper Aviator graciously let me use.
