This is just a small update. I somehow missed a few changes to the cargo doors and never created pictures of the changes. To give the doors a little more depth I added a little detail to their faces. Also, since the last update. I created a hatch for the elevator that will seal shut …

Starship Project Update 8
Oh, boy, I have really done a lot since the last update. First off I had been working on the loading ramp for the command module, but after getting so far into it I decided it was way to long and steep. So I scratched the ramp and removed it from the model. After watching …

Starship Project Update 7
It’s been a while since I wrote an update on my starship project mainly because I have been working on it at a much slower pace. However, since the last update I have added quite a bit. I modeled the Hyperdrive engines loosely similar to the ones on the Tantive IV Blockade Runner with the …

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 …

Starship Project Update 2
Just a quick update: I added some console boxes to the corridor walls to give the corridor a similar but different appearance to the Tantive IV corridor. I also started to add some color to the model.

Starship Project Update 1
Since the last blog post I’ve added more rooms onto the main corridor. There are now 4 officer quarters and 8 crew quarters (2 members per room) for a total crew compliment of 20. I am in the process of putting up the interior walls and paneling. In case you’re wondering, it will not remain …
