Quaestor detector research

Quaestor detector variations

Microfilm library machine reseaarch – in order to try and stay logical with the minimal approach of period airship designs, I imagined a microfilm electro-mechanical device where the Ascendants could have hundreds of books and information stored at minimal space and weight

Microfilm device research – the microfilm would be projected on a screen within the library

For some props of lesser importance, quicker sketches and drawings were done.  The Ascendants’ gear needed to feel over engineered, like they were trying to reinvent event the simplest of elements they used.  With this in mind I created a kit so that the classic prospector tent would be self-supporting.
