GDI Shepherd Tank Concept (COMMAND & CONQUER 3)

Here is the design for the GDI Shepherd Tank. I only designed the turret section. The hull is based on the GDI Predator Tank. The big green panel atop the turret is some sort of scanner. This panel is purposely made over-sized to help RTS players identify this particular unit.
I also designed the GDI Kodiak (v2.0), the GDI "Whale" Mothership and the V-Wing Bombers. A "tiny" Kodiak can be seen deploying from the belly of the GDI Whale. The Whale and V-Wings are "NOT OFFICIAL" GDI units. I needed a huge ship to complete this painting, so I junked together various parts of old projects into something that I liked. It was basically designed and modeled in one evening.
I created the V-Wing bombers because I needed something to help indicate the height and size of the GDI Whale. I placed the V-Wing
mid-painting and purposely made the vapor trails visible underneath the Whale to show the relative positions of all the aircraft within the sky. It was a fun, albeit long-winded journey considering that I only needed to design the Shepherd Tank.
