Challenge #9 - MaxumX - Salvager

[MaxumX]

This is my first entry into SFM callenges. the idea was given to me a few days ago by my pops. he was thingking of what you would do with all the space debre that is left from the construction yards or just plain old junked ships. can't vary well just leave them to drift can we. His description was pritty much a cylender that crunches up debre kinda like a grinder. vage enough but i got the idea.

Then i got to reading this Challenge thread. Looks like i may have somthing for this one. And what i've come up with is roughed out below. i've got alot of work todo. as a late entry here (as it were) i hope i can get it done on time.

As you can see. it has great big chop'em up wheals on the inside. for the chrunching of objects, or the ocational fool that falls in..:P There is a set of hand rails roughed out to keep scale. the two large-ish objects to ither side of the opening will be tractor beams when compleated. and the funny looking side asm are thrusters or will be here soon.

Nice ... i am curious wouldn't those rails get munched as well if things are entering from that angle?

Good idea. But you will have to make some kind of an engine compartment and controls and storage or smth for "eaten" debris... Will this thing still look like a cylinder afterwards? Maybe you should think on some side parts - they will bring your vessel more cylinder-like look and maybe solve this questions...

[MaxumX]

fluxfire: the rails wont get muched, the teeth are far enough back in the machine to allow for the small walk way up frunt.

dredd2000: the contole section in the works, still working on ware to add it. As for the crunched debre, it is 'spit' out the other side of the machine. storage is a separate container.
