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 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. For the Bridge I first designed and modeled a 4 man computer console station which would …

Note: From here on out the Control Module will now be known as the Bridge and the Bridge/Landing Craft will be known as the Helm. Yet another big update on the Starship Project. This time most of the work has been done on the interior and more specifically the Bridge. But first I designed the …

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 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 …
