Gatling A-Wing

When lots of guns isn't enough.

Project first made in February, then Uni hit for Semester one.

However, with Uni over I could finally finish this concept and the outcome, whilst not as good as I wanted it to be looks…okay?

Still got a long way to go in order to like the things I make.

However, The Concept was to have a fighter in star wars with a dumb level of firepower, like an X-wing, but instead of 4 cannons, 16.

My personal head cannon is that this ship would instead of having a hyper-drive unit, that space would be used instead to power and control the extra cannons. In Star Wars Rebels, the rebellion steals a fighter carrier and these would be put in it, and mix themselves into standard fighter squadrons in the battle. This would make an enemy force think they are up against a standard squadron until this thing unleashes the power of 4 X-wings simultaneously and blows a hole in the enemy defences. Or they could be deployed as a squad to lead a spearhead in a battle that has already heated up as they could not be used in a hit-and-run.

This was, like everything I do a learning experience. But this time it is modelling a thing properly in order to have it be nice to UV unwrap.

Like before, if anybody would like to request different ship bases (I’m trying fighters/astromechs from Star Wars) for me to render, feel free to leave comments in Deviantart
