| Aerial Gunboat Back in the day, I used to play a RPG called Space:1889 (any other old timers remember it?). It was, I think, the grand daddy of the steampunk genre. Here is a WIP of one of the aerial gunboats used on mars by the british empire. I did a rough model in sketchup as a guide and am tracing it in paintshop. Still have a long way to go yet, and as always, C+C encouraged. |

| Onward! To Mars, rule Britannia! Can't wait to see more. I've often thought that Sketchup provides the perfect tool for doing rough perspective work for vector drawing but I haven't tried it yet. |

| Added rope railings, basic texturing, rivets and one of her majesty's officers for scale, also lightened it up but I think it looks too faded now and will probably revert to the darker one in the first post. I still have to add weathering and detail around the pilot house and the entire rear of the ship. Oh, and you should really give sketchup a go Aethernaut, it's sooo much easier just to build a model rather than laying it out in the traditional 2d method. I had trouble wrapping my head around it at first, and I'm very much still learning, but it is really handy.  |

| Looking good! I've toyed around with Sketchup but never done any real projects. Perhaps I'll sit down with it this weekend if I find some time. In the ancient past when I worked for a game company I used to do a lot of modeling so I'm familiar with the concepts but I haven't really done any serious work in a long time. |

   | This is a good looking ship so far. I haven't played this RPG, but it does look interesting. |

| Prob'ly not. In fact I sort of lost interest in this one and am putting it on the back burner. |
