This week's challenge:

Hovercraft

A hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicle (ACV), is an amphibious vehicle or craft, designed to travel over any sufficiently smooth surface supported by a cushion of slowly moving, high-pressure air, ejected downwards against the surface close below it. Essentially all practical systems use a skirt to follow the terrain and contain the air.
It could be a one person or a multi persons vehicle, real or fantasy, but you must include air cushion and turbines. When modeling, try to keep in mind some of many details that Hovercrafts have that may not be. These may be things you wish to include in your model.

As always, have fun and enjoy your modeling time!

Dam

As a great engineering marvel and tourist attraction, we will be modeling a Dam for this weeks challenge. One of the most well know is the Hover Dam which is also considered to be one of the man-made wonders of the world. They all have one basic purpose, to hold back and control a LOT of water! When modeling, try to keep in mind some of the other features that Dams have that may not be visible from the exterior such as the turbines. These may be things you wish to include in your model.

As always, have fun and enjoy your modeling time!
