Description
I'm continuing to explore Blender 3D, recreating some of my pen and ink lineart as 3D meshes. Shown is an Ogre cybertank and a ground effect vehicle (GEV)Related content

Very good. Β I have an empty OGRE folder on my drive, waiting for me to one day start making models for. Β Still doing Traveller models.

AWESOME!
Just a point, and I know you're doing it to muck around, but you know that tall 'mast' is retractable? Right?
It's an early 'idea' which was going around in military circles of the time of 'Giraffe' tanks.
Machines which could raise masts to look over hills/tree and 'spot' for enemy targets.
Now-a-days they have helicopters, drones, satellites etc as a lot of variations to achieve the same effect.
Jus'..y'know...rambling for old times/nostalgia sake.
Very much cheers to you and yours.

Yes, my original design had the mast on a hinge to lie down along the back. The miniature sculptor though it made more sense to be retractable, and Steve Jackson agreed.

How many other 'Types' were you involved in/with/etc?
Very much cheers to you and yours.

Glad you like them!
Sadly I was only directly involved in the design of the Ogre Mark III, Mark V, and a bit on the Mark VI.
I also did the Paneuro Galahad GEV, Paneuro Hammer light tank, Paneuro Jaeger heavy tank, and Paneuro Ajax missile tank
