      It can't be done. The design looks cool but it actually doesn't work. I've tried over a dozen different ways to model this and the design is pure fantasy.

      So I'll make something that might be close. Maybe. Sort of. πŸ˜†

          On to the exterior and interior detail work! The cabin details are just placeholders right now.

            Cool. I get 'Survey ship' myself. Lots of sensors and views of whatever is being researched/surveyed. πŸ‘

                  Thanks loco.

                  Like I said, it would be close. I could see the actual shape required in my head, but I could not arrive at a solution to model it. Far too many compound curves. So this is close enough. Very close except for the bow. But it works for me.

                          Looking good ! I think your β€œstick to it” attitude is great. Even if you put something on the β€œshelf” for awhile you always seem to come back to it. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                            Doing the hard things is how I get better. I'm still not where I want to be after 10 years of using SU. But right now, my hardware is holding me back. Hopefully I will be able to finally upgrade this year.

                                    So far so good. Thanks! I just hope it lasts. The last contract of the previous job was supposed to last for 3 months. Lasted only one. Took 3 months to get this one. Just now at one month for this one.

                                    Fingers crossed!

                                        Thanks majid. I had not realized that. I guess I am. πŸ˜†

                                        Finally got back to the interior work. Still a little bit more to add. The doors are from the warehouse. I hid the glass to see the interior better.
