So the last week or so I’ve been doing some 3d modelling, and made (of course) a Steampunk airship.  The idea I had in my head was for a small crew steampowered airship with propellers, and in the same style as the Serenity or Millenium Falcon, they love their ship very much, despite the fact that it’s falling apart and they sometimes have to take on less than legal jobs to make ends meet.

The model has a large balloon with “The Slipstream Pioneer” written on it, and two gondola compartments connected around the outside by ropebridge style walkways.  There’s the bridge, with a table for dining at (and playing cards, reading, etc) and a large map on the back wall.  Beneath there is the crew quarters, with fold up bunks for 6 crew.  In the rear compartment is the engine room with steam boiler and flywheel, with a built in cooking range next to the furnace.  Beneath that is a hold for cargo and fuel.

The model is 8998 polygons, and has 8 512*512 textures.  Download the .X format model, and .png textures here.  Free for all use – but please let me know if you’re going to use it in something, I’d just like to be kept informed   Please note – I’ve heard some people have trouble with the textures being reversed, if this is the case, I can upload a different type of .X, but it may have absolute paths – why are these things never simple?)
