Sub-Razor: The Underground Rover

 The Sub-Razor is a military vehicle mainly to transport insurgents underground in Palestine 3000 A.D.. The sketch above is the second iteration that I have done recently for the graphic novel. I was not happy with the former window design which I have replaced with a round glass port hole. But the real main design obstacle is the top hatch which is used for entry and exit. It is also the same area where the landing chute is deployed. That will be a physical obstacle. But I do not want to fall into deep rationale when molecular synthesis is a norm in the future. I may sound Greek but it is better than a geek who speaks in binary.

The passenger compartment can accommodate four people including the pilot. In the story only three persons rode in the Sub-Razor during an escape operation. The space is quite tight and almost like our present day submarine. It also dives deep but in this case a subterranean deep.

The above is the final rendered model. The initial idea came out of nothing. 100% pure imagination. For functionality  I have to look into the real world and borrowed some mechanical suspension system design for the bottom half. The top half came from my right brain after a couple of mugs of thick hot cocoa and grunge music and remain sober.

Riding the Sub-Razor is like riding a roller coaster in the dark. The situation is intense. It is about ‘what is going to happen next?’. So hold on to your seat.
