The Vetox Vertragus (Swift Greyhound) Steampunk Airship

[Kqgqn]

Simple airship I re-created from the original minecraft version I made a while ago. Feel free to rate :)
It'll be appearing in something Coburn's making that has a neat storyline with a steampunk atmosphere.

balloon is WAY too small, the interior is extremely cramped, and the color scheme is very bland.

otherwise, it's real great.

It looks like I can cut myself on a rope like that

But there is no standard in terms of balloons. What are you basing your ideas off of? I've seen much smalled balloons. As for the interior, it is only a transport craft designed to pack as much possible into a small space :I
Detail will be worked on later.

i agree, the balloon looks really small compared to the ship, making it look very weird

balloons are used in airships with a hot-air system to lift the ship into the air.

and you need a TON of hot air to be able to provide enough lift for even the smallest of weight. that balloon should be at least double the size of the actual ship, and not half of it.

This isn't based on realism, it's a fantasy thing. :|

perhaps if you put it another way, It looks weird, we know it's a fantasy thing, but things must at least look right.

but, apart from the balloon, it's great

[Kqgqn]

Thanks for putting it another way. I'll try and work on it. The ship wasn't meant to be something major, as it will be appearing in one of Coburn's builds. But as I do want to keep a copy myself, I will definitely improve it. Thanks Khain.

Oh, and if you people are talking about the Minecraft version being small, yes, I know. I built that one a while ago and then went on to making this one

np :3

[kiwibear]

Honestly it doesn't look very steampunk to me, it just looks like a generic boat airship thing

[Kqgqn]

Please explain.

[Alteration]

The balloon seems a bit too ovoid, the rope could be done better with plates, and the exterior could use some steampunk designs like large tanks, pipes, or other machinery.

Other than that (and the interior, which I left out since there's not much you could do about that), it's a very nice build. <3

if you want something to reference, i made some steampunk-y airships. i think that a bigger balloon and more color would greatly benefit this build

Thanks, but I don't really like how you went with the tower below the ship. I'm all good with references!
