This is "fatso"

[tbd]

After several accidents, and loss of valuable cargo because the tail on the original hopper had massive problems in the mechanical area, the company making the hopper fired the designer and hired another. This is what he came up with. A fat tail with no twisting action to go wrong. And more room for cargo. Some redesigned arms for the container as well. Not quite the speeddemon, but nice and reliable. The company were rather pleased with the designer, and lett him ceep the job for other projects.

Well, its in the same family as the hopper as you can see.

Amazing... Have you been using AC3D longer or did you just start when you started posting because I've been at it for a while and I am not nearly that good...I'm kinda jealous! :D

[tbd]

Not sure how long I have been using Ac3d. But its a easy modeler to find your way around in. And with a bit of trying and failing you soon figure out what to do. + this is just a hobby, and I'm not that good :)

[nightoftheroundtable]

making the 3d models is also my hobbie yet you surpass my skills lol. at least in the detailing. because your models are pretty detailed, moreso than what mine are. and captainj2410 is pretty good with modeling as well. I think its time I started paying more attetion to detailing

[captainj2410]

Yeah, I used to have trouble with shapes, now I've to to make the shapes look better. I guess the whole problem I have is that in Star Trek, excess surface details are frowned upon, except for hull plating that is. I'm just a bit too conservative I suppose...
