        Just downloading THEA again, cant wait to get this bad boy rendering properly again on my i7 machine!!!

        EDIT:

        Ahh it only took 60 seconds and I had fallen back in Love with it. Its using all my processor power and burning through renders. My old mac book pro would have died after 4 passes!

                              Ha maybe, im going to Boulder in October so maybe round two if I can find that bar again!!
                              Red Bull beverage or Red bull aeroplane? Plane is coming along http://m.cmcdn.net/12645329/940x593.jpeg, but I have abstained form the drink as it just gives me false energy and annihilates any sort of sleeping pattern!

                              My new drink of the month is Stella Artois Cider which is stocked in the pub in work and is a low alcohol percent so I can drink more and still do some work if I have to!

                                Little bit more, ignore the scale those spacemen will be much much small in the final version, just placeholders.

                                    Cheers, you can sort of see where it fits on the larger ship here http://liam887.carbonmade.com/projects/3172025

                                    Although as you can tell I started the ship in 2009 and back then those modules where just cargo space but recently did I make the lander so will have to figure out how to redesign the ship around it, im sure it will look much different.

                                    Its not rendered I just used the technique in this tutorial here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18866&hilit=illustrating

                                        Here is some more work on the mothership. Not really happy with it at all going to take it back to the drawing board once again!

                                          Managed to pretty much finish the mirror, I just created the basic shape then a huge grid of repeated polygons spit into small triangles and intersected it all, deleting all the crap around the edges.

                                          I guess you can go about it a few ways but as far as speed I couldn't think of anything quicker.

                                          Im pretty pleased with the mirror as I think it will give something different to the final drawings, fingers crossed! I think everybody can agree its better than the one in the last post!

                                            Started work on the matter-antimatter storage holds. With a little help from Taff Goch it saved me a bit of a headache constructing the sphere!
