D.P.T.S. (Drop Point Tracking Station) This sci-fi model was designed as a mobile tracking station that could be air dropped for field operation use. The machine can basically be whatever you want it to be e.g.

Portable tracking station.
Mobile radar station
Portable shield generator
Thermonuclear device
Alien Device
Probe
Drone etc.

With a few modifications, the device could become a satellite, space station or a structure. The device is made up of 16 objects. Each separate object is one high detail closed edge mesh, with no attached elements or linked objects, so a lot of detailed work. The device is geometry only, with no textures or materials applied. The total face count for all objects at base level is 534011 faces, so a system with a good amount of memory is required when using mesh/TurboSmooth on all objects for final renders. This model is my own design concept.
