I drew this back in the early 80's. Not too long after I first learned drafting. I think I posted it here several years back to show how it was related to another ship I was drawing. So, I guess it's time to find out what it looks like in 3D.
Okay. the links may or may not have a thumbnail attached. I need to either pay $80/year to GoDaddy for an SSL certificate, or change to a different host and get a free one. So, either spend a strangely large money to them or get off my lazy ass and do something I should have taken care of a long time ago.
I think the rock part of the bases would be difficult.
I remember seeing an episode or two of that when it originally aired. I thought the buildings on the asteroid looked like assorted coffee making appliances. And Jonathan Harris with a cape and disco hair... Yikes.
Okay, I went and watched the first episode on Youtube. Terrible, terrible. I'll have to watch some more.
Jeeze, it's been two months since I started this. . I don't know that I ever worked on one of these for two months.
Sometimes they take as long as they take. The fun jobs are the ones with a deadline that seems to keep changing. And then suddenly you're in crunch time.
Yeah. It's just that I've never done a ship this extensive before. It was the largest I ever drafted by hand, as well as the largest in CAD.
I make these things for me, to keep boredom at bay, so there's no deadlines. Most of my deadlines at work are like they need a drawing in 8-10 business hours, and It's done in 15-20 minutes. Pretty low stress.

It never ceases to amaze me, the interesting and clever designs people come up with.
I chalk up a lot of my designs to 'happy accidents'. Scribbled shapes that catch my eye, and software that doesn't work as expected.
