Combine Large Transporter Concept

[Billtcm]

Hey guys I was bored today after school and drew up a large combine transport thing, just for the heck of it. I started to model it, and I just wanted to know if you guys think I should add anythings else to it before I put it all together and skin it. The sides open up to become sort of like giant walls, they can also rotate downward in order to push stuff out of the way or something. I was thinking of adding a steam shaft or something for smoke to come out but I don't know. Just tell me what you think, and if you've got any ideas feel free to tell me. Hope you like, and sorry for crappy renders I'll make better ones when I update(when I start texturing or adding stuff).

The last one was just 4 renders drawn on in photoshop, just to test stuff before I put it on the actual thing. By the way I wasn't sure about that symbol on the walldoor it's on the scanners maybe I should replace it?

the symbol looks alright. this looks pretty cool. i think its looks a bit too simple though.

It's nice, but pretty impractical. They would only be able to deploy it in areas large enough for the doors to fully open. I think this is one of the few cases where a top-swinging door, Delorean style would be best.

looks too simple and bleh. It needs some style to it.

Take a look at some modern apcs and cross reference it with some of the combine tech in hl2.

Well I was told on another forum(which I now know isn't very reputable) that I should change my designs. So I've come up with a few other designs but here's one I modelled yesterday. I still think it's kind of top heavy and I'll probably start over again, but feel free to comment. (and yeah I know the thing that holds the front wheels would probably be extremelly fragile)

well i always applaud iniative
however, you may want to add alot more detail to your work

 

[Billtcm]

Well I'm probably just going to start a new one, plus it doesn't even have a skin on it.

keep working on the design i think it has potential. also the colours should be darker imo. also if you notice all the combine vehicles are almost organic. liek the big walky thing and the drop ship n stuff.
