The Christmas hols are ending. I'm back to work tomorrow, with an early start. This was the logical deadline for finishing the Shamrayev. Alas, I do need to move on as I'm committed to returning to the Raptor project, which calls for the urgent creation of some aerial concept shots.
The command module lost its colour banding because you just can't get away with painting colour strikes just by painting mesh faces. The subject calls for more complex shapes with bevelled corners. It looks much better without them. Maybe I'll create a texture map with more complex go-faster stripes?
The first attempt at the "flag" seems okay. Is it too big? Having a flag is an anachronism because identification would be through advanced full-spectrum sensors at thousands of kilometres. But it's a cool way to include the vessel's colours and name. It feels like a worthy dedication to today's Ukrainian fighters.
I'm going to create new spin habs with improved cloth cushioning.
And I'll add some more details to the engineering block.
I started to do some clean-up. The hanger door elements were consolidated and can now open. I plan to do work on the hangar's interior as well as model one or more sub-craft, possibly two "shuttles" which I envisage as "space cars".
