Spaceships

The original design for the hero's ship was going to be based off of the image of an eagle swooping down about to snatch up prey. With backswung wings, weapon pods designed to look like outstretched talons and a birdlike cockpit at the front.

However a couple of problems. 1. It wasn't in keeping with the Flash Gordon, 1930s era space swashbuckler that I was designing. and 2. Due to a PC crash and an unforunate mistiming of backups I lost my work on the 3D model.

Work resumed with a new design. Based on classic 1930s rocket ship designs.

The hero's ship was designed to look long and sleek with flat wide wings and a dashing red colour.

The bad guy ships, were designed to be squatter, shorter and more rounded. The colour scheme was meant to contrast against the heroic red of the good guy's ship. With a design somewhat reminiscent of sharks, with the dorsal fin, protruding.
