Why does the workbee take that long? Well here is an isolinear fusebox cover in the seat. (It is for the optional control sticks.) I decided to do the upholstery in felt. I wanted to go full Neelix with the fabrics, but I'm a coward, grey-ish it is. :)

1800 followers! Thank you very much people! :) I need to be a bit more active on here, but..... life:

Supremely slow progress, as I got some other work to attend to, but here is an earlier shot of the bee. (Still in the paint phase...doh!)

Merian configurations. (+ a civilian, NAR registered, ring version in progress.)

About once a year I do some architectural visualization. With the asset libraries of today, this always feels like a sort of "lighter" more gamified work than having to design/model a starship or a yacht. It is quite fun to do.

Sometimes limitation can help you forward. This was the predecessor of the Retroprise. (Made only out of Teapot primitives.)

For Star Trek Magazine, 2010-ish. :)

Bee Behind. (WIP) It is going well, while not visible here, the materials are for 90% applied. Decals/textures are left, as is some simple rigging to open the canopy and doors etc.

An unfinished early UESPA station. Done around 2009. A circular hatch on the XCV-330 might hide a NX style docking port. So these two in theory could connect.

USS Pelican, a reasonable long work in progress, but going to be worth it I think. (Refit of the USS Spirit.) Some WIP shots:

The short lived MKII Vesta class concept. (2010)

"Arrival of the Diplomat"

Difficult to keep the camera steady, but I hope to get some better shots when it has landed. :)

Human engineers checking the nacelle of a Coridan designed Star Yacht.

USS Carver at the temporary dock in the Epsilon Eridani system, nearby AEgir. This system is 10.5 ly away from SOL. Also the home of the upcoming HSY dock.

Redundant melacortz Ramistat (most of the time just Ramistat) is a well behaved, slightly unconventional PC that helps me in my creative endeavors.

Some early and never finished USS Demeter concepts from 2012. The ring could rotate down for easy landing and would be "flush" in the side-view with the hull behind it. Also came in handy for QSD flight I assume.

Cover I did for Kirsten Beyer's Architects of Infinity.

I reached 1400 followers this week, thank you!! 😀 Also an unexpected container from the Ferengi Alliance arrived today and I should not have opened it.

I think the modeling is done for 95%, next step: optimization. :)
