Completed the rear engine struts. There is no right or wrong way to make these. There were no good references except that I could see it's sort of a wing-thing and the top profile is about "that" big.

Alright! On to the neck and bridge decks!

Very sharp but you put a lot into them. Definitely very nice to see mate.
-
Thanks Mike!
-
Very rough scale and block-out of neck and upper decks.
I now see I have a main hull problem as well. It is too vertical. Damn glad I left that extra fore to aft hull line in. I can change the geometry without messing up the previous work... too much. sigh
So fix the hull first and then move back to the neck and upper decks.
-
Lots of progress on this, going really nicely mate.
-
Thanks Mike!
-
Minor tweaks. Trying to tighten things up a little. Refining the shapes. Double checking lines and positions for the future details before I start on the upper decks shapes.
-
Tweaking the neck geometry.
-
Upper deck was too long in the back.
Sloped the main hull a little bit more. Still needs a bit more slope on upper and lower hull. So, so glad I did not detail the main hull yet.
-
Roughing the bridge. It's close, but not round enough.
-
Other views. No progress today.
-
Smoothed out the bridge. Had to completely rebuild. Used Curviloft skin countours. It's done, just needs detailing.
Added the bubble to the main hull. It's a group within the component. (it's too small and I've already enlarged it)
Fiddled with the overall shape of the upper decks. Smoothed out (Erase+Ctrl) and narrowed the front of the neck. Erase+Ctrl'd the remaining hull lines, except the very top.
-
Blocking out the top decks. Same old issues. Odd angles and shapes. No decent references.
-
It looks like the finish line is in sight
-
^ It does indeed and a fine conclusion it will be.

For the block out, yes. The details? Maybe another month.
