Work-in-Progress [WIP] Design Thread

Well it was your Eagle and Eaglet that gave me the bug... And I'm loving custom cockpits at the moment. I just wish the aesthetic parts didn't add so much drag.

Hmm, yeah it's a bit trickier now for sure. My only advice would be stick at it. I'm glad you found some inspiration in it mate. I will keep an eye on your future craft.

SAP-C's SAPAF Division proudly announces our most ambitious design yet, a Cargo Plane capable of paradropping military cargo ranging from Troopers to Tanks! It utilizes RATO to counter it's low TWR, even with four whiplashes! And thats just when the plane is empty! It's WIP in the fact that tweaking may still happen and stuff for it to actually paradrop is still being created, such as a small tank that can drop down and parachute down, the perfect way to get ground forces long ways away from the KSC! The Goose's full name is SAPAF-612-MK1 Goose Cargo Transport, it may be a Military craft but it has no weapons, so be careful when going into a warzone! It can burn for a solid hour, give or take a bit, extra measures mandatory by SAP-C standards to ensure you really get sold includes pictures, incoming! eREbkWw.jpg

Current design. Below screens are of previous versions, but give off the same general idea.

Another craft in the Mad Max series I'm trying to do, based on my Ford Kraptor pickup truck and built on the principle that when it comes to post-apocalyptic vehicles, if you can see over the supercharger you're doing it wrong.

Would you consider mad-maxing my Jeep or Asteroid sports car. Thanks! I love what you've done with that pickup.

I actually already have both of those downloaded so that's very much possible, will start soon.

If anyone else has any cars/trucks etc. around I would like to try and modify them too since I think it seems more true to the real mad max cars to modify existing vehicles than build from scratch.

Ohh, I hope it works! I'll poke around in my saves, and see if I have something that's right.

I feel like I cheated... I added moar boosters instead of engineering it to orbit.... Four Rapiers and Four turbojets to get a 2ton Ion shuttle to orbit... All because I don't want an inline cargo bay... Before adding the turbojets I clipped a bunch of fuel into the cargobay in the hope I could get the drag down enough. By the numbers it should only require 4 RAPIERs, but the drag from shaping and the cargo bay, were for the time being, insurmountable.

Vote jay or nay for finishing this plane!

This is the only stock four engined turboprop airplane in KSP history, but I halted development because I switched to refining the engines and developing new engine types. This one has the first iteration PO2R with a measly 25 kN. Later I was able to uprate the engines/propellers to 55 kN, even with two blowers.

Note: 0.90 only! 1.0.x has been brutal with stock turboshaft/turboprop engines. Until 1.1 arrives with the new engine between the basic and turbo-ramjet. This could really re-ignite the turboshaft principle.

So ... want to see this flying again?

Ooh nice turboprop plane. The return of stock bearings :)

Currently working on an M8 Greyhound. Atleast this year high school teachers don't give you homework the first day...

Anyway's testing out the suspension and it passed trials time to load the armor and 37 mm and off the the depot :D

As soon as I can find a way to make the sides look better, I'll release it. it looks more like a Great Depression hobo shack than an armored killing machine.

Thanks, what do you recommend?

I plan on making an entire pack of WW1 tanks, does anyone have any suggestions?

Currently slated to be built:

Renault FT

A7V

Tsar tank

Little Willie

Yeah... uh... just so you know, the Tsar Tank is a little... special...

I see what you did there :sticktongue:

Can you rival against my amazing poke replicas. They love poking things to inevitable collapse like the VAB. And true weird but cool tank!

400 parts and counting. Tonight I added a ton of greebles and primary comms. Next launch will attach living quarters.

Would you mind telling me what, if at all, this vessel is based off of? I'd like to look at what this is supposed to be, as so far what you've shown us is quite cool!
