Here’s the abbreviated version of the update: I punched out a reasonable sized hole on either side of the cargo bay for the cargo doors. The cargo doors were then modeled and designed with teeth that fit into the threshold when closed. I then started on the outer hull plating of the vessel and picked a simple color scheme to be finalized later. Then after a few ideas I came up with a shape for the command module and created it’s hull plating. From the beginning I had envisioned that there would be a separate helm/bridge on top of the command module that could separate from the ship and act as a separate craft for defensive maneuvers or as a landing craft. I modeled the beginnings of that secondary spacecraft and I am ready to move on to the sub light and hyperdrive engines for the primary spacecraft. So far the engines are no more than place holders to determine the proper “placement”.
