This model is my most recent. \u00a0Still almost a year old now!<\/p>\n

I always start with the engines. \u00a0If one engine is good then 6 must be better. \u00a0And what’s better than 6? \u00a012!<\/p>\n

The engines started out as a cube. \u00a0 Just a simple cube. \u00a0Which I stretched, extruded, bent, twisted, inset, warped and a few other things to get it into an engine shape. \u00a0Once you’ve modeled one engine, a little cutting and pasting and you have an engine cluster. \u00a0The cylinder parts actually started, believe it or not, as cylinders. \u00a0More tweaking and you get fuel tanks, warp drive, particle accelerators, whatever you want to call them.<\/p>\n

\"Doc2\"<\/a>That’s the easy part done.<\/p>\n

Then for the rest of the ship. \u00a0For this one, I wanted it to feel human, rather than alien and not too futuristic. \u00a0Something we could possibly have in a hundred years or so. \u00a0 I wanted it to feel like each part had a purpose. \u00a0Something industrial, like a container ship. \u00a0But with a bit more interest. \u00a0So a container with some girders sounded good. \u00a0 Cut and paste a few times and you get something not totally unlike a space ship.<\/p>\n

\"Doc3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next comes the command module. \u00a0 Always my major failing. \u00a0But add some pointy bits & a few radar dishes and it may look OK.<\/p>\n

\"Doc4\"<\/a>\"Doc6\"<\/a>When I added the command module it gave some scale to the ship. \u00a0Not a huge Star Wars type ship. \u00a0More a Star Trek size. \u00a0The lower part looked in line with the engines, so I added some landing feet to it and to the engines. \u00a0 This thing can land on a planet! \u00a0I had to remove the pointy bits from the engine. \u00a0But I’m still pretty happy with where this is going.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just need to paint it now and render it from a few angles for the shop.<\/p>\n
