CHALLENGE!!! Steam Birds!

8,660 Deloreandude  8.2 years ago

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PARTICIPATING. Inspired by the Steam Birds air-strategy game, you will have to make a steam powered aircraft!!! :D Now, this will have to follow the steam birds timeline in some ways. You must create an aircraft that has the same 1835 Fusion type aircraft from the game (so the aircraft must have an engine power of 500hp or under) . If you havent played steam birds, i reccomend you play it, it is a flash game on armor games so no download is required. In the universe, mankind is changed forever with the discovery of low temperature nuclear fusion in 1835 by sir albert pendelton. Other than that, WW1 and WW2 still happen, but with very differently designed aircraft.

FOR ENTRY: THE AIRCRAFT YOU MAKE MUST BE A SUCCESSOR OF THIS AIRCRAFT! THE CHALLENGE ENDS OCTOBER 8th WHEN THE WINNERS WILL BE CHOSEN.

Now, here are the rules: you must have a 500hp engine or under, make the aircraft look the part of a steampunk type aircraft, and have as much detail and accuracy as possible (held up wings, bronze coating, water cooled machine guns). You will be graded on a scale of 10 on how it looks, detail, power, and speed. Also, please give your aircraft a backstory if it is fictional , have the year of manufacture, corporation that constructed it, what country its from). 1st place will recieve all of the competitors upvotes and second will recieve half. Thank you for viewing! This is my first challenge, so if im doing anything wrong please tell me. Any questions you have please tell me. THANK YOU!!!! Also! +1 bonus points if you have an aircraft FROM THE GAME!!! (Bristol, Duster PN10)
