The X-38 Sundagger

Thanks to some freshly forged tech alliances with an unannounced alien species, it comes complete with operational lightning guns (available in a range of power levels from playfully sparky to devastating hull splitting death rays).

15 Sept update:

Full length concept video is complete. :D Available here: https://vimeo.com/106104628

11 Sept update:

The X-38 is featured in Citizenry magazine, article out now on ITunes! :)

Updated landing gear for easy rearrangement on the deck of carriers. Landing is a gentle touchdown using the omni-thrusters.

6 April update, Airbrakes mark 2: Think of them like hackles on a dragon. Could the X-38 be renamed to become the Sun Dragon? :)

Here are some new renders of the landing lights and upgraded piping around the raygun area and body (also a better look at the upgraded aerospike engine):

14 Feb update:

I've been putting some more thought into the rear section, since that's what you will see a lot if you're playing from an exterior view and I want this machine to be **** from head to toe. :) This has led me to make a subtle but necessary change to the base of the fins. After researching real rockets, specifically the V2 and the A4, I've noticed the fins actually blend into the body for added strength. This and a craving for a more futuristic appearance to balance the organic curves of the front headlight panels has led me to ditch the chunky fin base altogether (which had intersecting geometry and jaggedy bits from the rear view). Even though it's slimmer, it would be stronger due to the curve.

2 Feb update:

Okay, here it is. I started this a few days ago so it's very WIP but the final will be just as minimalist, though more detailed and tighter like the ship. "Launchpad Hangar", perhaps?

1 Feb update:

here is the latest model with tightened up cutlines and rounded chamfers down the fuselage. This change is as subtle as it gets.

3 Jan mini-update:

I thought I'd upload my WIP for the "shuttle" colour scheme. I may not go ahead with that one but just to give people an idea how the X-38 could look with a matte paintjob (needs decals etc).

14 December update:

I'm still working on the cockpit so what better time to show a pic of something other than the cockpit. :)

Here's the 'Dagger in Cloud City colour scheme. Lando's next ride. ;)

17 November update:

I hadn't done a red and gold render since I did the extra body styling so here's how things are looking for the more flashy starfarers:

This is the most beautiful ship I've ever seen and I've been a sci-fi fan all my life. This one is a tear jerker!
