Small spaceship
-
As you can see. All I have are two views. I will have to infer the side profile.
But it's still more than I usually have to work with. But oh man those curves...

well - what would life be without curves?

I'm coming back to this one.
-
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.

-
Finally making some progress.

-
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.

-
It is indeed a survey ship.

-
Progressing very nicely

-
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.






-
More bridge detail. Still WIP.


-
Scene for scale.

Looking good ! I think your “stick to it” attitude is great. Even if you put something on the “shelf” for awhile you always seem to come back to it.

Thanks tuna!

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.
-
Still working on the bridge so not much to show right.

-
New job. Been occupied elsewhere. I really want to finish this.
