Flying Hexagonal Mobile Home Called "StratoLark" (CLOSED)

In 1995 a friend asked me to make a UFO prop for his college project movie called "A Flip of a Coin". So of course I drew it first to plan it out. The image below is my plan drawing, with some frame grab photographs from some test video. The 6 foot cardboard UFO is suspended on fishing line strung between the top of the clock tower you see in the background, and a signpost on the ground.



Below are some shots of a small mockup.





And finally, below we have a promotional picture of my most recent 3D version. You can download it for free at: https://www.deviantart.com/luqu/art/Mobile-Home-Flying-Botlir-StratoLark-V1-899281000



Like many of my models, it is too complicated to be of much use to the average user. But you might find it fun to explore.

I'll post more pictures of the details later.

I made my first 3D model of it in 2017, in the online program called "TinkerCad".

Here's some cut-aways of the most recent 3D version, specifically a configuration I call "Type A". The free download includes a Type A pre-assembled.

On the landing pad here we have a configuration that is more serious about being a vehicle, as it has a pilot station and extra propulsion unit in the back. Dig it.

If the thing were gutted, it would look like this inside. I put the pink wall and orange pipe in just to hold up the control panel for the door.

That hole in the floor would be covered up by the elevator.

The elevator: Double doors both sides so you walk through it.

I really love the vibe of your stuff, I think you have a really good eye for things from the 60s and 70s that have a very cool vibe about them.

A few times now I've been tempted to make an "All Lukon" (apart from the figures) short animation, just as an excuse to play with them.  Time and time again I see your creations and think to myself, man, that would look so stylish with this composition and that composition, etc.  I think of you as a sort of Barbarella specialist, and believe me that's a massive compliment coming from me because Barbarella is one of, if not my favourite film of all time.

The only reason I've not done so already is because I'm too pre-occupied with learning figure creation at the moment.  And I hope you don't mind my prying, but do you have a link to those test videos, or better still, a link to the finished movie or short?

I love the look of it and would really love to sit back and watch that!

I get an error message when I click on that deviantart link

I try to make my model interiors wheelchair accessible.  This one had a challenge to get the ramp long enough. The best I could do was make a ramp extension come out. It wouldn't pass ADA approval, but at least I tried.



In this picture we also see the option for a big front dormer window. When you build your own configurations, you can put that dormer window on instead of the flat triangle window panel, in any or all of the 8 positions.

Another window option is this triple-wide dormer window wherein three adjacent sectors have dormer windows that continue across all three sectors. In this particular configuration, I put the triple wide-in front, and a single in the back.
