Hi guys sorry for the delay, it's been a busy day ;) .First thank you for your comments, they're really appreciated. A few answers in random order:I used 3DStudio Max 7 and Photoshop. For an explaination of the techniques used, I'll send you back to the cgtalk forums with the link at the beginning of the thread. I've made different scenes out of the same work, and I'm posting more images in here for those who like to have everything in the same place without having to exchange website ;) (but feel free to go there as well, I posted different images in there and I'm being a bit more technical ;) ) [img]http://www.marcorolandi.com/wip200712/imgs/Common/railhaven.jpg[/img]This is the main harbor (or main station, since there's no sea but only mud and tracks) of the giant metropolis. It's basically the latest image I've made so far. I hadn't posted it in here previously because it's more difficult to see the locomotives in the shot. Anyway you still can see the two Daridras and two more Corvettes (type S, which differs from the tipe T only for minor details).[img]http://www.marcorolandi.com/wip200712/imgs/Common/circololargasmall.jpg[/img]In here you'll see a detail of the Daridra 63, namely the officer's club. As you can see from this image and from the previous one, the building isn't shielded at all, and provides for a nice target of opportunity. I'll answer to rrebell's good objections as well in here: basically speaking, all battles in this fictional world are fought under very strict rules, and only certain parts of each locomotive are actually "legit targets", while most of the structures are to considered forbidden. It's not a written law, but it's considered "extremely unpolite" to break these rules, to the point that the offending officer(s) would have to resign and face trial whenever anything goes wrong. Since there's a little bit of story behind all of the work you see, I would say there are reasons behind most of the strange "bad design" ;). To be honest one of the most peculiar aspects of these vessels is their asymmetry, which means they can only fire on the right side, being defensive (a nice word to say defenseless :D ) on the left one. Of course there's a reason for that too.... it's all in the story ;) eh eh eh....One more image... it's a comparison between a type T corvette and the wheel of a Daridra.[img]http://www.marcorolandi.com/wip200712/imgs/Common/ruotona.jpg[/img] You'll see some naive mistakes in here when looking at the daridra's tracks.... without any mean of keeping the wheel attached to the track, the slightest curve would send the slipping daridras directly into oblivion... It's a mistake I still have to fix (so many things to fix, so little time sigh). Sorry about that [bow] I won't do that again!!!!  More later ;)
