Description
The Juggernaut heading away into the distance____
Edit: N.B. that the sky around the model (the ship itself) comes from a royalty-free skybox package I sourced from a Blender tutorials forum... I really can't remember how to find it, otherwise I'd provide a link - but credit is certainly due to the person who created those wonderful textures.

wouldn't the propellas have to be spinning to be airborne?

This is very cool. A few things though, judging by the stairs, this is a bit small for something called a "Juggernaut." Also, I love the method of propulsion, but it might be more apt for a civilian vessel. It would be ridiculously easy to rip or blow the entire wheel off.

I agree with you about the scale - although because this model is a kind of caricature both of the ships of the mid to late 1800s and the "steampunk" genre, it is supposed to look somewhat cobbled together, as well as over the top and having elements that are overemphasised.
I guess I intended for the ship to be suited to the kind of life that the "Albatross" was supposed to be for, in Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Adventures" (sorry can't remember the original French title!). That kind of ship was something that a gentleman/explorer would have built in order to explore the globe in the age of discovery - so in a manner, I guess it is sort of a civilian vessel...
But yeah, though it is quite "small" for the name "juggernaut" I still felt that the name captured the over-the-top, iron-bolted, smoke-belching, riveted, crazyness that this piece was supposed to capture
Thanks very much for your comments though

OK. This makes more sense with your explanation. Thanks for taking the time to do so!
