Well then I'm out because me camera wouldn't even fit in your carry on.

b) take off from and land to extremely short airstrips, preferably vertical , but definately STOL (short takeoff and landing)
c) have a low radar cross-section and low emissions if possible

Hi Alp,

I doubt with current tech it is possible. I once looked up a russian ZUBR hovercraft. And was amazed when it said in the characteristics that the huge machine that transports up to 3 main battle tanks with their crews , has 3 independent gattling AA guns and moves over water land , sand and snow with the speed of 60+ knots has fuel mileage of 85 GRAMMS of diesel fuel per 100KM...

Be sure, my amazement tuned down when I read in a smallest possible fineprint 3 magic words: "per horse power" LOL

Hentai? Manga? Surely not. Besides I can download that anytime

The electronics, however

I want to thank everyone who has gotten underway on this. 14 of the 24 off are off and running so it looks like it's going to be a fun and exciting contest.

The concept around the contest sounds really interesting.

I believe in myself as an artist rather than as a modeller to be able to describe, but I will try a dare.
In the past my self-created models are limited to smaller objects and a bit architecture, but let's see what happened to me this mind.

The limits are broad and time, we have enough..

One question:
Is a fictitious company, which builds space ships, allowed?

Yes, so long as they are of military benifit, they could be a cargo transport or troop carrier so there is plenty of lattitude.

Ok, since UAV's are allowed, I'm in, not sure how much I'll be able to do given my schedule now revolves around my baby girl but I'm sure as hell going to try.

SOL Inc will be making their debut shortly.

I would like to encourage everyone to check in and leave feedback for the entrants. We're just a week into it and we have about 12 to go.

I second that , Bill
And I just remember that someone posted the intention to release the contest works as general public content on the forums ... do not remember who and where , but I am all up for that, obviously as long as copyrights are respected

P.S. and Raja , if you can get Bill Flemming's books on photorealism , you may find some good rules and techniques there. I read each of them more than once and each time it helps to pick new angles on modeling. I hope other people will say the same about them

HI all,

I just added links for everyone who has started their entry in post #2. It's an easy index if you just want to click and view.

Bob, I have a question.

When it comes to the animations do we post those in the same WIP thread or start a new one in the animation section?

Post everything in the same thread. That will make it easy for us to find it all and associate everything with the right person when the contest ends.
