                      Let me translate for everyone...

                      sandrs, is that your model of Atlantis?
                      As for steam punk designs PH aka Pharaoh Hamenthotep has done a couple of steam punk designs.
                      Have you looked over the rest of the pages on this thread and the modelling challenge thread?

                            History:
                            Will fill in but I’ve got to go to school now 
                            DB, 10mm railguns won't work. The concpetion of railguns was to be able to increase the effective range of large calibre munitions. Hence the smallest practical railguns possible are around the 125mm ordanance, at approx 20kg's+.
                            Anything much lighter than that and it's fairly much wasted energy. If you are looking for either more impact or damage ability, you simply either
                            1/ use a higher density projectile
                            or 2/ an increased charge combination in your shell cartridge.

                            Additionally, railgun technology is not a practical application on small rounds under 125mm. You might get a little velocity increase down to 80mm calibre. But the energy requirements counter out any gains you might acheive. If you need something powerful (why 10mm?) below 100mm, go for a high rate of fire multi-barrelled set up.

                              you should really get podium for su so instead of 2d you can do 3d you can pm me for a serial to podium and how to install it

                                Podium is for rendering correct? I already use Kerkythea for that. The following are the other ships I've rendered so far (posted somewhere in this thread).

                                Spoiler:








                                I didn't bother rendering the cruiser because its still in a very early stage of modelling and rendering on my machine takes rather long so there's no point since at this stage I just want to showcase the shape and layout.
