Back To The Drawing Board

This post will be commenting on the idea that I had originally for the ship that I am modelling and what has gone wrong and what needs to be rethought and redone.

While I was creating my ship I had different ideas on what I wanted to achieve when modelling it and was referring back to original images of ships back in those days and what to add as much detail as I could within the time-frame that I had. 

There was obviously compulsory elements that I needed to include such as:


  • Weapons
  • Navigation Room
  • Engine
  • Satellite Tower
These I feel needed to be included within the model, anything extra would be extra detail which I would also aim to include however there was a time-frame that needed to be stuck to and if I could fit the extra's in it was great, however if I couldn't I would at least try and fit some in.

Anyway back to the idea, when I had first started to create the ship, I started with the main body which I thought was perfect, then started to add the weapons onto the ship, however I might have got a little carried away with the weapons, as when I started to add the navigation room I realised I was running out of room on the body fast!

I needed to rethink about the model and also I was not happy with the first attempt at the navigation room, I felt it was not right and needed to be different (in shape, height etc). So I thought about what I needed to change so I scrapped the first idea and built it again, not changing much but changing enough that it eventually became perfect and I was happy with what I had created.


This was my first attempt at creating the navigation room, I think you will agree it is awful and nothing like the original ships from Pearl Harbour.

I will be creating another post after this one to show what I have changed and I think you will agree it looks so much better.
