[WIP] Voxel Vehicles Pack (Beta 5 release)

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

Well, one, I was making a joke, weak as it might have been. Two, "poindexter" as a descriptor is mostly used derisively, so if you genuinely meant to thank him then that's not the best word to be using. If you meant it sarcastically, though, then good job.

I'm going to need some help here... My lack of hovercraft knowledge is keeping me from moving on. The hovercraft that I'm going to make is going to be about this size:
Spoiler:
Here's the problem: From all the pictures I've seen of hovercrafts of this size, I can't find the air intake for the cushion. Where the heck do these things take their air from?! The intakes are visible in most larger models, but not smaller or medium sized ones. I tried to find good blueprints, but this was the best I was able to find:
Spoiler:
From what I understand, in smaller models some of the thrust of the main propeller is directed under the craft. I have no idea if that's the case for the medium sized models, like what I want to make.
If there's anyone with more hovercraft knowledge out there, any tips or suggestions are more than welcome.

That's exactly the problem I was talking about. That is a LARGE model that's able to carry cars and many many passengers. I'm talking about a hovercraft that can seat from 4 to 6 people. Take another look at the first pic I put in my previous post.

Don't know if this is any more informative:

Although, after looking at a number of pictures, there seem to be a number of different configurations at all sizes - so I'd suggest just going with something that you like the look of.

Sorry for not posting on the status of the pack for a while. Progress is slow due to lack of motivation, laziness and the increasingly difficult models. However, progress IS being made. Here's a WIP picture of the hovercraft to prove it.

Update. Made a hovercraft in 5 colors. The first water vehicle in the pack! This took way, WAY too much time to make. I'm gonna make one more watercraft and then release Beta 5.
