S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier Cutaway

I was asked to create a cutaway of the Helicarrier for the Ultimate Book of Marvel. Marvel supplied a simple black and white drawing of a front and side view of the craft.

My task was to model up the entire craft using reference from comics and back stories, after that invent machinery and a layout that could make the war craft fly!

One of the difficulties I had to overcome was due to the detail it was hard to distinguish the separate decks clearly, the use of strong colour being reflected down worked well. © Marvel / Dorling Kindersley / Richard Chasemore. All rights reserved.
