Let’s see… I added upper level catwalk and added doors for the “Jeffries Tubes” in the cargo room. I then created the rails and rail car for the tubes. Next I started working on the docking/airlock section of the ship. It was a bit of a challenge to add that to the model but after a bit of thinking I came up with the right solution. I had to modify existing components and remove others to maintain the idea that the ship is modular. The docking ring/clamp was modeled to match that of the Millennium Falcon to facilitate compatibility in the Star Wars galaxy. I then went on to adding wall panels to the cargo area which cause me to redesign the catwalks to fit with the wall panels. I also had to reposition the “Jeffries Tubes” and modify their doors to fit into the wall panels. Next on the agenda I will decide how the cargo doors and landing ramps will work and where to put them. In the more distant future I will start on the command module at the front of the vessel. Right now an empty box is serving as the command module just for reference. After that the outer hull plating and hyperdrive engines will be added. This will determine the overall look of the starship. I can’t wait to see where my vision takes me.
