Drum roll… This time I have taken 38 snapshots for this update beating the last update’s record of 33. There would have been a lot more pictures to show except I kept neglecting to capture every change. Since the last update I have created the Escape Pods, the bunks for the Crew Quarters, the tables …

Starship Project Update 12
This update is very big this time. There are 33 images in the update gallery and the most so far. I created all of the weapons, the rest of the propulsion system and the main antenna. In addition to those items I completely overhauled the cargo section and extended the docking ports outward so they …

Starship Project Update 11
The project is moving forward quite well. But not the ship so much because it still doesn’t have maneuvering thrusters. This time around I worked on finishing the Bridge and also completely modeled the interior of the detachable Helm.

Starship Project Update 6
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 …

Starship Project Update 5
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 …

Starship Project Update 4
Since update 3 I have added quite a few things to the model. First I was trying to join all the rooms together in a framework but decided it looked too cumbersome and it strayed too far from the idea of making the ship modular. I then added metal straps with bolts to connect the …

Starship Project Update 3
Since the last update I started adding a few more rooms including the mess hall. When I finished modeling the wall panels for the mess hall, It occurred to me that I could have saved a lot of time had I standardized the wall panels sizes instead of creating customized walls based on the particular …
