        Thanks tuna! Thanks Mike!

        Cleaning up the lower hull. Working on the most efficient geometry and trying to get rid of all the extra lines and triangles. Almost ready to work on the stern.

        Thickened the support struts. 2 Push/Pulls+ layers from center plane, top and bottom. Scaled face front to back to get angles. Still need to match them exactly to the hull. I'll show the detail on them later.

            Aft indentation created. Will add the weird vent/fin/grill things next.

              Top rear grill thing complete. Made as a separate component, one side only, then duplicated. I'll stop here and double check my proportions. I already see the lower hull is too wide at same location as the top grills.

                Back to this in a few days. Doing some brain salad surgery on my laptop. Much needed maintenance.

                    Forward nacelle struts cleaned up. Intersected main hull and then deleted excess lines that were inside the main hull and filled in the faces. It's not "perfect", but upper and lower pods will hide most of the details later. But is IS flush with the hull now.

                            Go sidetracked on the artist studio render. But I learned a lot from it!

                            Let's see, what part to model next? The rear engines I think...

                              First rough block of the rear engines.

                              Same technique as before. One component, replicated 4 times for each pod. I'll add the missing gap sections after I finalize the main pods.

                              Now for the fiddling... first I'll get the outlines and mass shaped up.

                                    Rear engines shaping up somewhat.

                                    Just a reminder that everything to date is still just blocking out. Even the front nacelles. I just did a little extra on those to give me an idea of what I need to do once the blocking was done, but even they need more attention. Once the mass shapes are good, I will go back and smooth everything out with more faces. So there are many more stages to go after the block-outs are done.

                                    Months I tell you! πŸ˜†

                                      Forgot to mention I will be using Curviloft for final cleanup and smoothing.

                                      I will be sure to show how I use it. I've already tested it and it's going to work beautifully.

                                      But I have to finish the block-out shapes first. So it will be some time before I get to that stage.
