Here is my MS pain [crude] model of a hover vehicle:



And here is a grey background version:

How's this as a start?

Nice! Just make the front window a bit larger and add some for triangles and I think you're good.

Well, this is as far as I'm gonna go. I'm really not an artist.

I added a little thing on top to break the surface... not sure what it does exactly. Fuel coupling? Tongue

The front window is bigger as requested. In this picture you can see the coupler on the back.

.wings file is attached if anyone would like to continue this model.

(Ignore the artifact on the fuel coupling thing. The tilted black "v". It's just something to do with Wings3D's renderer and I'm too tired to render it again. I've been up for 2 days now, time for bed.

Actually, I love the new design. The window fits exactly how it should.

Hey, what are you guys doing? What are those bricks? (Joking)
I think it's design is a bit simplistic! If the front window goes so low, it implies that there's no engine below, it's size also suggests that it's a hollow box, just with a control cabin. To add more detail, you must think of the load it carries, then the power source(s), engines type/size, speed (aerodynamics determine the hover's shape), user friendly (how do you board it, how much of the machinery can you see from the cabin, how much of the outdoors can you see? What type of terrain will it face (will if need reinforced structures, defense weapons)?

I know it's a start, and you initiative may lead to a good design, so I'm helping along by giving you some guidelines!
Keep it coming!

Here's a shot of the underside and a new .wings file. I lied about  not continuing it. Oh well.
