Weapon and Vehicle Designs!

Our engineers here at The Asp Meridian are willing to help you design the perfect combat vehicles and weapons for your nation! I don't feel like writing an enormous, gigantic description right now because I have work to do, but I will give you more info later.

OOC: I will post actual drawings of your new vehicle/weapon/whatever here on the forum. Wondering about my drawing? Here's a link...


Look for my post- "Let's Try This One." (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=515601&page=3)

I know the drawing is a bit rough, but I can computer-edit drawings to make them more 'pretty' if you like.

I have a very strange request...

Can you draw some Nazi soldiers riding on dinosaurs?

My national animal is the dinosaur, and I RP my country as using dinosaur cavalry during the Middle Ages, so I still have some dinosaur cavalry for ceremonial reasons.

If you don't feel like it, tis no bother. Your first drawing brought more than enough happiness :D

The Teryx!

Reverse Joint Mech. Like the ED-209 from robocop, but with a few key differences.

1, the arms are turret emplacements that aim in a more stable fashion and can hold more and/or larger weapons.

2, The feet are more like feet, not hooves with only marginably mobile toes. Four large "toes" two front and two back.

3, Obvious vulnerabities (such as the exposed radiator grill) are not present, as it has the properly shielded design structure of an M1-A3 Abrams tank.

Lemme see what you can do. :D

thanks a lot...

Sorry about that. My internet was acting up and I had next to no time. Before I start on your request, I am going to have to ask you several questions...


1. What are these buildings going to be used for?

2. What style of Roman Architecture?

3. How big exactly?

4. How much are you willing to spend on these buildings?

...you wanted that to be called The Teryx, didn't you? Sorry about that...

When I described the Teryx, I mentioned that the front radiator grill was NOT something to be exposed.

The feet are incredible. The weapon emplacements look like little carriages and not weapon emplacements. The joints are not covered in armor but in some flexible material.

The long arm isn't totally neccessary.

And on a general art note, you need to refine your linework. I, personally, use a ruler.

As for some personal preference, beef up the legs.

But it is sleek and light. Pretty close to what I imagined.

You said 'protected'. How was I supposed to know what you meant? Plus, if it was hidden well enough, there wouldn't be enough space for the radiator openings. It is good enough, especially considering that the grill curves downward over the openings, protecting it from gunshots.

The feet are incredible.

Thank you.

The weapon emplacements look like little carriages and not weapon emplacements.

The carriage look is from the grips, which hold onto the weapon for extra support. I didn't show you the entire hole with the wiring and machinery because it was not necessary.

The joints are not covered in armor but in some flexible material.

This 'flexible material' is actually a type of rubber/metal particle compound designed by The Asp Meridian's military corps. It is not pliable by using the human hand. It is, however, moveable with the intensely strong joints of the AT, yet is one of the reasons it gets around so slowly. This substance is especially protective against slugs and other bullets, considering that they can leave a dent yet not peirce the mechanism inside the casing.

The long arm isn't totally neccessary.

Good for extending. Good for reaching over hull if other arm is disabled. I could shorten it in V 1.1, but that won't be for a while.

And on a general art note, you need to refine your linework. I, personally, use a ruler.

Did it ever occur to you that this doesn't matter to me? If it's readable, it's useable.

As for some personal preference, beef up the legs.

V 1.1

But it is sleek and light. Pretty close to what I imagined.


Good. I am glad to be of service. Are you buying or not?

Art requests take longer than vehicle orders, so I might not get it to you for a while (1. Art takes longer, more detail involved. 2. Vehicle and Weapon orders are top priority, since people actually 'buy' them.). I work on it in my free time. Was an Allosaurus the type of dino you pictured them riding?
(like a Tyrannosaurus, but slightly longer arms, sleeker body, smaller build)

Ok...


...this was originally a weapon and vehicle design forum. I wasn't planning on taking architecture requests. Anyway, I shall design this for you. About how many rooms and what type of weaponry do you think you would store in here? (ex.- Handheld weapons - missiles - war vehicles)


No more architecture for a while. It is much more complicated then vehicles and weapons, and I can only take so many architecture orders at once.

Orders so far-

Blackhelm Confeceracy- Armory
Raven Corps- ?

Allosaurus sounds sweet :D

I'd like to place an order: can you draw the Stg-88? It's a bullpup assault rifle with a 35 round clip, firing 7.62 Soviet. Go wild on the rest :)

i have in my region a race of extremly small being that ride giant dragionflys they ( the dragonflys) are about two feet long and three feet wing tip to wing tip the saddles are mainly on the body segment that the wings are on having holes in the place where wings are the claws are covered with tiny barbs and the legs are about a foot long the tail is a foot long and has dots on the sides the top of them are fitted with a cloth that goes from the saddle to tail where it is strung onto this cloth has assorted daggers and sidearms. the cloth is called a shen-kebo, the dragonflys are called helndo, yes i got the idea from Philip Pullman, and yes i added a few things to it, such as the holes in the dragonflys tail can spray out a toxin that is not unlike carbon monoxide. can you do this art for around 100-200 nationstates currency?

Sorry about that. My internet was acting up and I had next to no time. Before I start on your request, I am going to have to ask you several questions...


1. What are these buildings going to be used for?

General Populational use. Musems, Government buildings, ETC...

2. What style of Roman Architecture?

Neo-Roman style, with emphisis on ornation. The Kornosian people like pretty buldings.

3. How big exactly?

Some buildings like the Church of the Trinity would tower over most of the Capitol city. Others would be about half its size, but still large.

4. How much are you willing to spend on these buildings?

Kornosia is a vastly wealthy nation due to years of gold mining and fine wine sells. Plus funds can be found elsewhere



Kornsoia has been around for a while just never could find the right images to show what I am talking about...

Extremely Secure Fornelian Transmission (ESFT):

The Kingdom of Fornelia would like to offer the beggining funds for a special project:


A giant aircraft "flying fortress" capable of transporting other planes. Essentially we want an airborne aircraft carrier with the basic design of a plane. Stealth is a somewhat important concern, because this represents a significant investment and we do not want it simply being shot down. In addition, the girth of the plane probably means that it needs to be amphibious, but we have a significant amount of watery areas within our borders so this does not pose a threat. Fuel is not much of a concern, but we would reccomend nuclear fuel because we recently found a large supply of uranium within our borders. Another need is onboard anti-aircraft weaponry to help shoot down any attacking planes. It is also preferable that the craft has some form of long range weaponry such as cruise missiles or something similar. The craft is also in need of a weapon capable of attacking nearby ground targets, be they maneuverable tanks or stationary bases. Finally, we would like some form technology capable of interacting with and controlling our satellites in space. Overall this project is hoped to become an airborne command center for all our forces and a terrifying psychological weapon.


As of now we want only one, but if the project is satisfactory, we will be willing to offer more. Please tell us the cost of R&D, and we will pay if it is worth it. We also ask that this is done in the utmost secrecy We look forward to doing business with you.

Sorry about this, guys, but The Asp Meridian has been deleted by the moderators. All orders have been cancelled and exports stopped. Dissapointed? Go to This forum (z14.invisionfree.com/The_AEDN) and complain.
