Spaciship? Spaciship!

Thanks tuna.
Here is the bridge imported back into the main model and two more smaller mass blocks detailed and added.
-
Busy week at work. I'll post updates tomorrow.
-
Greeble panel as drawn by the artist.
-
Greeble panel placed back into model. Look close and just barely make out SketchUp person.
-
Tranport hanger doors.
I'm using very simple angles and push/pull offsets.
-
I forgot the close up of the guns. Again very simple trapezoids. Everything will get more detail over time, but not too much. The ship is so large that details too small are not worth modeling after a certain point.
-
Here is the bow detail. The gun was just turned upside down and push/pull used for equipment bay thing and simple arches and offsets for detail.
-
Here is how it's all fitting together so far. I may start work on the aft sections next.
-
Modified module imported back into model.
All non-detailed mass blocks are erased just before importing the modified mass block. Do not erase before. You might need it again until the detail is finished.
-
Roughed out angular modifications along the keel. Very long way to go underneath.
-
Couldn't resist posting another shot. Changed the shadow angle.
-
your first picture of this post compared to this last one - Wow !!
keep spaceshiping !!
-
Nicely done, filling out nicely and massive.

Thanks! I can see that this is one of those models that will not need a lot of detail to look detailed, yet I could easily work on increasingly smaller detailing for a year.
Exactly the kind of project I needed right now.
-
...but I decided to do some more bow and gun detail instead.
-
Okay, now the aft updates. Still just roughing out the mass blocks. I have no pictures for reference of this angle, so I am making it up as I go.
The starboard side of the ship will be the same. There is only a port side drawing of the ship.
-
An updated view from the starboard side. It definitely has a classic overall Japanese sci-fi spaceship shape.
-
Some detail change to the section next to the bridge and some detail added to the keel.
-
Landing bay pod updated.
-
Updated overview.
