Actually really like the viewport render right now...perhaps just a photoshop airbrush pass for enhancement and keep the nice clean technical lines?
I'll be watching this project, very nice.

if you export to your render engine and match the angle with the viewport you can achieve a nice black line overlay with subtle render underneath: http://m.cmcdn.net/13521645/940x536.jpeg

Liam, could you explain a little more? It sounds interesting, but I am not sure what is meant by "viewport" or the process you described or Adam what is meant by photoshop airbrush pass.
Love the example from the link!

Thanks Modelhead. I must say I was VERY surprised at just how authentic the plain SketchUp animation output looked.
Thanks Mirian. Great tutorial. Bookmarked.

Thanks Burt and Liam.
The hub looks like it's going to take some time. It's hard to tell, but it looks like there is some kind of sliding hatch over the hub's docking collar for the cargo modules. Also, the docking details for the lander/shuttle are non-existent.
The book also calls for a cargo handler on the opposite side of the lander. I have found one done by gmcgavren in the Warehouse and need to figure out how to attach it or give it a "hanger" module of it's own.
It's a very deceptive looking module.
Well, I'd be disappointed that you didn't find room for the cargo handler, but to me it just seems like it would be an awkward addition, and not fitting for the style of the ship. My style has actually evolved quite a bit since I built the one you found, and I wasn't actually going to share this one, but I have something that seems closer to the modular style that the "Pride" utilizes. I actually designed it to attach to the docking port of a cargo module and tug it that way. Seemed more practical. I studied the docking mechanism of the space shuttle to get a realistic design. Pilot's by...you guessed it...Max Grueter.
