Orbital Elements: Medium Rig #2

Where's the Blender work? This is a Blender blog!

That's coming; it's good I recognise it's too soon to start building because too many elements still aren't decided.

I decided that having the cargo cans arranged along the main axis isn't good if you want to treat them as a large floor space. I've turned them around and docked them onto the main hull. You can now have airlock access to the cans.



 Clara looked at this from the other side of our dining table and said: "That looks a bit phallic". True! erm. So I'm adding elements to break up the "head".


This is starting to make me question the solid central beam. Comms arrays and a big antenna. I want to go back to an open frame with stuff bolted on.

Okay, it's time. Next update, you'll see the block-out in Blender. There's still room for design changes, bit I'm happy with the general form.
