Description
A drawing of a Recon unit that I recently designed. It's another vehicle in the series, following my mobile artillery : [link]Related content

Just wondering - is there a word or description for this kind of aesthetic? Mechanical, white paneling, slightly blue windows, gray or black details, sometimes a red stripe? It's sort of a very specific 80s look, but I've never been able to find a name for it.

Hmmm I don't know if there's anything specific for this look. I was mostly inspired by sci fi from 70s and 80s which often feature simple shapes and color patterns mostly due to budget

Are you aware there's already a recon vehicle named "Salamander," in the 'Warhammer 40,000' games ([link] )?
Assuming the wheels are on swingarms that allow them to adjust the ground clearance and center-of-gravity, I like the overall design, but considering the color scheme screams, "Look at me! I'm over here!" maybe you should designate the vehicle as a "police cruiser" or "riot control unit" instead.

Ah I never was a fan of Warhammer so I would have to search the internet to get to that. The color is just a typical paint scheme that I used for similar vehicles - it would be adjusted for military operations anyway (sand or jungle environments call for different paint).

Why does this say "Future Ecto-one" to me?
Though really it should be Ecto-two if not ecto-nth.

Hmm must be a coincidence - I had to google "Ecto-one"

Haha yeah it does resemble that car a bit

well, I like it a lot. One question though.. Why the white on red? It looks stunning, but as a millitary livrè is seems somewhat visible to your enemies. sorry, just being a tightarsed SOB. I've changed my mind mid sentence it is cool, full stop.

For that I have no answer

That's a good idea, and the colorsceme works very well with the design.

Thanks, that was inspired by Star Wars Rebel vehicles, especially the Blockade Runner.

theres a lot of glass there, isnt that a safty isue? overall I love these designs AK keep them rolling mate

It's future so I think that glass shouldn't be that much different from a standard hull. Anyway, this unit is not intended for heavy battle so a direct shot from a bigger cannon would damage pretty much everything. I'm glad to hear that you like it, I will surely continue with these

ah you've been busy

That's because the gun is supposed to work on its own
I hope to get even more done as soon as possible. If time allows for it I want to remake it as a 3D model.
