So I thought that I would partake in the Blender cookie competition. I went for a sci-fi theme. Santa sleigh is now a pod racer it is inspired by Anikan’s pod racer but I am using my own ideas as well. This is my first attempt at vehicular modeling. The real problem I am going to have is texturing it, that is why I haven’t done a thing like this before. Any suggestions to make it cooler would be appreciated.

I am going to make it more Christmas like by adding Christmas lights and reindeer horns. Also the colours will fit the holiday season. This is still early so any crits are welcome with open arms.

Lolz hellz yeah! I love your radical idea. Starwars universe also has a Santa!  
Add the wires from the engines to the pod.  
I would suggest on making the huge engines, and a huge pod instead of a fast one seater…

@DDD sure thing I’ll see what I can do. It would be funny if this huge pod had a small red nose and small reindeer horns. Thanks for the feed back.

love this thread!! 🙂 I agree about increasing engine size if poss…red nose and antlers on the pod would be a fun idea, go for it!

Maybe make the energy coupling between the engines red, so it acts as a light to see by ?
