Creating Your Own Everything Mk. V

[Vadia]

.... I'm asking what it's name is.

I have no idea what to call it

What size gun? What kind of ERA? Does it have composite armor?

It looks very pretty.

The gun is 120mm.

It has composite armour, yes.

note that any discrepancies with scale can be marked down to me eyeballing literally everything on the thing

speaking of, have a top-view render with better sampling and some modifications

You should resize them tbh, they look all pixelated and not that good

i made a flying thing

[Rhodesialund]

Made myself this. Basically took the Tirpitz that my nation has been using from the 1940s to the 1990s. In the early 70s the Tirpitz underwent modernization programs as to keep it relevant in the ever evolving world of military technology. It served well until the 90s when it was mothballed by the then Presidents and political atmosphere of budget reductions.

The Original Tirptiz (1940s)

Modifications at this time included the removal of the two foward secondary armament of the twin 15cm gun turret. 3 harpoon static launchers are present in those locations. The Mounting of Phalanx CIWS guns and the reduction of manned guns can be noted. The most radical change is the superstructure, in accomodate the addition of electronics and radar systems.

Now, there are movements within the military and political structure to revive the Battleship program. Spurred by the massive increase in budget from 2.5% of GDP to a astronomically high 9.5%. Retrofits include the addition of 4 SeaRAM CIWS systems, sacrificing 4 original Phalanx CIWS mounts. Addition of 4 Tomahawk ABLs for added capability of striking targets from afar, and two more Phalanx CIWS mounts.

2015/2016 Planned Retrofits (Note the NH-90 that will soon be put into service)

Me gusta. I was planning on making something like this out of an Alaska class cruiser.

Notavalkyrie?

Hard part is trying to predict and plan out everything. I went in short jumps like from the 40s to 80s, then 80's to current. You will find yourself extensively modifying the superstructure of the Alaska Class. You might not like how it will turn out, but it'll still be beauty.

yes

speaking of, updated version

not too happy about the way the cockpit turned out, but meh

this is going places
up, probably

[South New Caledonia]

Since you're all throwing around flying stuff... I decided to post something from my nation. Say hello to this recoloured version of A6M2 made by someone called Jeff High. I'll try to make a custom aircraft in the future, but I don't have enough time now.

Lysander Boomer Mk VIII multiple stage ground-launched rapid-response interceptor

"What goes up must come down."
-- Adams

The Boomer is composed of three sections: the booster engines, which detach at the apex of its trajectory; the tail mission pod, which usually contains missiles and can be discarded once empty; and the fighter itself, which carries the pilot and the interceptor's four 10mm railguns.
Boomers are designed to be launched from silos or chemical-rocket pads, since the exhaust from their fusion engines is too intense for starport pads which are constructed for use by starships lifting off on AG.
Like Lysander's other interceptor offering, the Super Meteor, it is marketed to frontier worlds and mining colonies without the resources or money to construct more comprehensive orbital security solution. It's something of a lower-budget alternative to the Super Meteor, since it doesn't require any orbital infrastructure to operate.

[Paragania]

Here is a scene I made to test some new camouflage on some new Paraganian soldiers I put together. It should have been completed much earlier, but do to the many bluescreens and crashes of Windows 10, WIP corruption, Firefox not working anymore, and many more annoyances, this came very delayed.

Don't get Windows 10. I got it because I had no more options, the bluescreens didn't get better with 8.1, and eventually after many tears I got 10 in hopes of it fixing it. It didn't.

It made it worse. Much. Much. Worse.

At least they let you send feedback on what you want to change/improve, and troubleshoot... Oh wait, you can't.



I lost a lot of work on these guys due to WIP corruption.

Honestly this really sounds like a problem with your hard drive not with Windows 10. I already have 10 on my laptop, and while the upgrade from 8.1 caused some problems, a reinstall fixed everything and it's been perfectly stable ever since. Even the problems the upgrade process caused came in the form of freezes, not bluescreens.
If you're getting corrupted files, that really points to the hard drive, not the OS.

Neat, any chance of a side-on view?

I mean...there's not much to it that you can't figure out from the top view. It's an F-22 front end plugged into a giant fucking brick.

[Transvaal Vrystaat]

Those are some intense fucking tail fins.

You could use them to stand the ship upright if you felt so inclined.

it is vertically launched...

How didn't I notice that.

Carry on.

Well, I downgraded to 8.1, and it's working a lot better now. Maybe it is the hard-drive, I really have no idea, but what is certain is I'm not the only one who has been getting the two specific bluescreens (Kernel Data Inpage Error, Critical Process Died, and specifically on Windows 10 "Unexpected Store Exception") I tried fixing it before, but eventually I just learned to live with it. W10, however, had them happening so often I really am wondering if it's the operating system clashing with the hardware.

As for WIP corruption, it only happened 4 or 5 times on Windows 8, when it BSODed as I was saving it. When I was using Windows 10, I lost my Paraganian troops' WIP when I clicked 'Edit Colors', and it froze as it was doing that, corrupting the file.

Anyways, enough about me and my horribly boring computer related problems. As for art, I really like that Lysander Boomer. Leave it to you to make a futuristic vertically lauched rocket F-22.

THOSE TREES LOOK FAMILIAR.

Yeah, now that I look at it, you're right, it's a lot more visible than I thought. I was trying to finish it as fast as I could, I'll try harder next time.

Here is a WIP PAF Para-rescue team I tried putting together based on some USAF training photos. The team-leader (Far-left) is using a SCAR-H I traced as a place-holder for another weapon, at the moment.



Suggestions on what to change or add are welcome. I also plan on doing some 'in action' ones, such as carrying a stretcher to the helo, rappeling, parachuting, etc.
