This carryall is the main transport for troops and personnel from planet-side to space – the Condor seats 18 passengers and 2 pilots, making it ideal for getting large quantities of men and women from ship to ship, ship to planet or vice-versa. The Condor has a main door at the rear for rapid deployment. Each infantry division in the Union Army has fifty Condor detachments assigned to them.

Well I’ve begun work on Part 4 which I’m happy to say will have some more excitement in it.

We’ll see the orbital base of the Union and also be introduced to some of the other supporting characters. I would say about half of the voice work is done and I’ve begun modeling  scenes and vehicles.

So keep you eyes out as I’ll be posting updates on how this is going, but I expect it to be out in around two and a half weeks.

Once again thanks so much for the support and interest, it’s a huge motivator for this project.

Finally done!

Now in truth this isn’t the most exciting part, however it has a few crucial story elements and character points.

See it here

The main workhorse of the Terran Imperial Union Army. The MH76 can transport troops and supplies from A to B in the battlefield.

It employs hover technology which is standard among all Union ground vehicles, so can cross lakes, rivers and shallow waters.

Well Part 3 is coming along well, I’m onto Scene 7 and I imagine I’m at 85% complete, so I expect to have it out on youtube sometime on Saturday 19th September (NZ Time). Sorry it’s taken a bit of time, but there was a bit of model building that went on in this part – a few craft which you will have seen displayed up on the site such as the truck and the Finch carryall and they take up a bit of time to make. But it’s almost done now.

And then it’s straight into the next part. The story goes on…

This small carryall shuttle-craft is primarily used for officers and small troop detachment transport.

The Finch is widely used by the Special Forces departments of the three main services (Army, Air Force and Navy) and also the Black Operations Service.

Along with the two pilots it seats 12 passengers.

The Finch is able to travel in on-world and off-world environments making it perfect for ferrying officers to and from their ships.

That’s right!
