 So for Argon-88 I've decided to try out a different approach. I'll construct the ship model using a number of different meshes and each mesh will have a different material assigned to it. Then within the game it should be possible to change just one of the materials and alter just part of the ship. I'd use PBR materials so would still be able to retain that nice grungy look. So for Argon-88 I've decided to try out a different approach.

So something more like a flying tank than an airplane. Huge armored flying vehicles would need large oversized engines. I also wanted the I needed a design that would be modular (more on that later).

-===== Initial Models ===== 
-{{ :renders:prototype_11.jpg?400|}} I took the five most promising sketches and created models in //Blender//. For these first models I used eight meshes, each using a different material: Four different paints (a primary one and then three different ones for accents), two metals, a glass and a "hole".
