Project Dark Star

Project Dark Star:

 

After the failed Martian Invasion of 1896, British intelligence salvaged the abandoned Martian technology to experiment and study it's secrets. Reverse Engineering the tripods, handling machines and the deadly heat ray.

 

But the Martian flying machine was of great interest to them. And a few years after the invasion the Royal science Division created project Dark Star: An atmospheric reconnaissance aircraft. A fast, agile flying machine that boasted state of the art communications, incredible speeds and state of the art weaponry...

 

I really wanted to make an interesting vehicle with those old neon green canopy pieces. And I wanted to keep it steampunk. So the idea of a retro gothic Victorian flying machine rattled around in my brain.

 

Asymmetry was another factor, drawing heavy inspiration from asymmetrical Star Wars vehicles.
