The P-38 Cophi Sky-Carrier

Here's the WIP of the ship you saw earlier, getting blown up by the Kali-Class Heavy Aerodestroyer and is used by the same nation as the Cophi Sky-Cruiser (which I'm also working on a newer version of).
Short version: It's an aircraft carrier carried through the air by massive dirigibles. It's covered in guns. It's used to make lots and lots of dead people fall out of the sky, and it's very good at it.
Now, this is a WIP. There's very few weapons on it as of now, and I haven't even touched the dirigibles. The little cloud blimps are just placeholders.
I'm also thinking that Cophi ships may not, in fact, have the limitedly useful camouflage all the Kharan ones do.
Now, let me note this in case you're isuwen not paying attention, this is an aircraft, not a spacecraft.
What else...
Oh yeah, five levels of runway in order to cram as many aircraft on as possible (mostly small airplanes), and I haven't even designed the engines for these dirigible craft yet.

-If you wanna hear the long version, just ask.

Your stuff could easily fit in a steampunk scenario. I like your concepts, they are pretty raw, but original.

I'm sorry, but I see a bunch of flat things and capped cylinders. I guess if this were someone's first model, it could be considered slightly impressive, but other then that, I'm a little underwhelmed. That's a background model in a render, not the model you're showcasing. Sorry to be an *** >.> <.<

OK, so I actually reread the thread, and I think you should have waited to showcase this model until it has some complexity, or something to look at. Just me.

I have to agree with kirby, too many simple shapes and not enough complex ones.

Great concept- keep adding more details, and it'll eventually become a great model.

They need to build stuff like this IRL. Same goes for the tanker dirigible in "Stealth"

I thought those balloon thing swere planets at first. That'd be one massive ship.

If those things are walkways I'd highly recommend adding railings. >.>;; Someone could fall off by an unexpected gust of wind and never be heard from again.
Seishun da!

Runways, not walkways.
Huh, never noticed that before.
So yeah, railings, storage/offices/stations/etc, and more guns are in the near future. I've got other dirigible ships I've gotta work on before I can make the blimps better.

-Not to mention other ships in the works (Two I'm really excited about: A submersible that uses it's sails as fins while underwater and a steamship for the Pepper's Fleet called the Helter Skelter)
