Where are the Image Libraries?

Personally, I always like the idea of a geometric hexagon (60º angles all around) with hex points fore/aft and slab sides on the port/starboard and the turret located towards the "aft half" of the hexagon shape and any gun barrel extending over the "forward half" of the hexagon shape. The above grav tank planform designs aren't quite that, being narrower with a more slender beam width from side to side, but still remarkably logical in layout and eminently believable at first glance.

Beautifully done. :love:

TL=14 Trepida class grav tank (wiki link)

Interesting to see that the main weapon is a coaxial rapid pulse fusion gun and (usually) a VRF gauss gun, allowing a flexible mix of solid kinetic and thermal kinetic weaponry to be employed depending on the target to be destroyed/exploited.
 
An Imperial Trepida-class Grav Tank and 3 of Battledress infantrymen with views of the flaming city. This picture was drawn in reference to a work painted by Steve S. Crompton in 1988. The original work was published in pp.7 at The Referee's Companion. The Battle Dress is 2 of Type 438-B Redding Assault Battledress and 1 of Type 62-C Rearden Medium-duty Battledress. The two types can be distinguished by the difference between the backpacks. The surface painting of the Battledress is an urban digital camouflage pattern.

Seeing the TRP initials, I'm going to guess it was the Tom Peters in the Credits.
Thank you very much. I will challenge that work next week.

An Air/raft and four scouts.

This picture was drawn in reference to a work painted by Tom Peters in 1988. The original work was published in pp.32 at The MT Player's Manual.

Four scouts are riding a left-hand drive air/raft. Two of them are set by scientists and wear blue uniforms.

Two pyramidal buildings with landing pads on the rooftop and a tubular skyscraper are depicted as a short-range background. The lower floors of tubular skyscraper are commercial facilities with larger floors. The original lower floor roof is striped. This part was glazed at the atrium. On the roof of the pyramidal building, a closed type air/raft and three citizens were placed. I planted tree lines, set up the green zone, and arranged the citizens on the ground level.

The original medium-range background depicts two pyramidal buildings with landing pods on the roof. In addition to placing buildings in the same shape as the short-distance background, the blank areas were filled with small buildings.

In the original distant background, a building that seems to be a spaceport is drawn. Free traders and Scout/Courier ships were placed.

A 4-man hurricane class air/raft launched for a rescue mission on an ocean planet.
Excellent.
To better connect the scene, perhaps the crewman riding shotgun could be looking back over his shoulder at the dhow rather than watching the dashboard? Not a criticism! It's just a suggestion, and I don't know if the person-models you're using are customizable enough to enable that.
 
Convoy!!

Imperial Trepida-class grav tanks and Imperial Astrin-class grav APCs escorting convoys consisting of grav trucks and fuel transporters. This painting was drawn in reference to a work painted by Rob Caswell in 1988. The original picture was published in pp.39 at The Referee's Companion. A military air/raft and One of the APCs is equipped with missile launchers.
