Great render! Excellent concept too, just remember to get the sbs posted

Good luck!

Thanks! SBS is up

Great concept, VERY well done and humorous! Good work.

I love the way the canon looks in step 9, a shame that some of the effect is lost in the bright daylight. Extra points for humor!

Grass is made with VRay hair suppose. Try to assign an original grass picture as bitmap color. This add more color variation and make it more natural.
Very nice and clean modelling, good luck.

Billyboy: Indeed it is, but I think I'll leave it alone. The rendering process made my computer cry for about 3 hours while rendering that fur

very nice work author...good luck

And also congrats for your second place!

The base plate of this is too small, and doesn't show any form of mounting. It looks like the gun should fall over.

Really nice rendering of the wire and nuts!

@mircea What are you on about, did you read about steampunk, its about Victorian age steam powered machines which are applied to modern technology. Adding laser systems or LCD screens would just be taking away from the point of the task.
The Tubes which follow through valves from the cylinders to the back of the gun carry high pressure steam which fires the projectiles. This is certainly steampunk and no way off topic.
About the scene. I did like the two guns and the idea of having it on a fort, but when it came down to it, I could just not get that looking how I wanted so I went simple.

I think you're on the right track, author, and the brass look on the rightside element is good, the copper looking material is ok, I think, tho brass would be much better. However, try changing the material for the base vertical post to wood and brass, the 'bumpy' parts on the right to more recognizeable wood tone, and the color of the hoses to something more neutral, then you'll have that great look! I agree with MossyB, it could use a larger base. Don't give up on this, you've got a great design.
