Right these wings are not going to beat me ....
They are now half the size of the ones I started with, 3x larger than thin ones and they are staying this size. Added so blades that will enable the thing to land and lift-off which I stole from a transformers toy.

Got rid of the bolt on the wings for now - they may come back but I really don`t know yet.
Been playing with the colour of the base and gone a little bit more blue - oh though I am loving a red colour as well at the mo. Just adding some more blades in wings now just want to get the feel what people think of the changes.

I think the wings are a a bit under designed compared to the body. The panels are fairly simple and don't really make much sense. By this i just mean they're not in keeping with the look. manufacturing-wise. i doubt i would make them one piece with a curved edge. more panels perhaps, or add some flaps.
I think you just cant see them any more as I have done alot of renders of the whole thing - but the main body is also made of many different panels - but yes there was something missing from the wings. Having more pannels was where i was before - but you can now see what I have done with them.

Although i really like the model, I also have a slight problem with concept. If this is deigned for speed, then wouldn't it just whiz by all the people who are supposed to be instilled with fear by its silhouette? ...This is unless it flies very high, then it would perhaps not have the impact unless there were hundreds of them or it was huge.
You could ask the same question about why do police cars get supped up - to catch anyone trying not to follow the lay of the land. I see this pod as a multi tasking machine - able to get to areas really quickly, bring fear to all that see it and out run anyone who runs.
