It's unscripted, amateurish and well, my first try at such things, so it's far from perfect
And I realize a Glaswegian accent is probably gonna be rough on some folk's understanding of English
basic tips on using Rhino for modelling based off my experiences with making Spelljammer ships and other things.
Made 1 blooper: when I created the "panels" in the ship's railing, between the supports and the top rail, I actually
offset a curve inwards from each of the two initial curves used to build the top rail, and then used
Solid ---> Extrude Planar Curve--Straight, to make a slightly narrower version of top rail. Then booleaned that with each of the supports in turn, to slice it into panels (or slabs to be more exact, panels for my Spelljammers are actually part of the railings with thickness, not like a normal sci-fi definition of "panel").
