Axtlan's Model Sheets - Sirocco (Vehicles)
More complete plans for the Sirocco vehicles. Trying to lock the narrow hulls, lift systems, sensor masts, payloads, and equipment without making them too heavy for the coast.
This stage is about keeping each chassis readable in motion and making sure it still works around spray, freezing rain, broken ice, and difficult shoreline angles.
More complete pass on this one. High-speed wave-cutting hovercraft. Small transport and fast littoral runner. One of the core Sirocco craft types. Here I was mainly locking the proportions and the parts before the final artwork.
Taking this idea into a cleaner plan. Long-range charged-particle hover platform. Revolver-style vertical feed with defensive auto-turrets and magnetic firing support. The main thing here was keeping the role clear while fixing the shape and equipment.
Defensive cassette carrier. Modified for wide dispersal, frozen-ground penetration, and deep-sea bunker delivery. Hover-tank role with deep-access reach. I kept this focused on the parts that need to read in 3D.
Taking it into the model stage. Double-service hover cassette delivery system. Low-distortion shore vehicle built to wait for long periods and deliver the right payload at the right time.
Massive hovercraft carrier. Can house Sirocco's largest tanks or a large armored group while throwing grav-gun projectile flak at speed. This is the cleaner handoff toward 3D.
A more controlled pass on the same idea. Ballistic high-speed delivery missile. Coast-war strike system that charges further along the flight path by absorbing solar bands. The silhouette and main parts should now be clear enough to reuse later.
Working this into a repeatable model plan. Coastal defense tank. Counter-invasion hover armor with synchronized high-impact cannons and self-replica ammunition pods. Not final yet, but the scale, stance, and equipment should stop moving around so much.
Vertical-to-horizontal VTOL attack transport. Carries cargo, personnel, and light vehicles for extended operations across broken littoral routes. Here I was checking what needed to stay fixed and what could still change before the final artwork.
Cargo plane and bomber. Long-path transport platform built around endurance, survivability, and sustained lift across harsh weather corridors. I kept this focused on the parts that need to read in 3D.
Taking it into the model stage. Battleship-derived war craft. Backbone technology of the Sirocco military, scaled into a self-survivable vehicle platform for coastal and arctic war.
