      Honestly, I can't figure this one out yet. I need a side profile and one does not exist, so I'll have to invent one.

        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.

                      Update. Added hull number and cleaned up the bridge. More detail yet to add.

                            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.
