UPDATE... I’ve added covers for the plugs. I’ve also astarted to block in shapes for the manipulator arm. I thought with it snowing now I might add a snow plow to this thing as well. You can also see the headlights on the front. This is what I’m thinking for the door. Took me forever to figure out how to get the pivot point right. And just for fun a little test animation of the doors opening and closing. It goes a little wonky at the end but that’s You Tube’s fault.

UPDATE... I found a great video that showed how to UV Unwrap in pretty good detail so now I understand it a little bit better. I thought I’d try it out on one of the doors. It’s temp for now so I will probably redo them. Instead of taking weeks to do I can now do it in a few hours.
I think that this looks like a work bee, but with a pick-up bed attached to the back. Hard to blame you for making it look like a Federation work bee, considering that there is just something about Probert's little design that seems to make sense.
UPDATE... Did some minor work on this thing. I made the hand rails on the side smaller. Added windows to the cab and some reaction control thrusters. This what some other pallets might be like for moving liquids around.
UPDATE... I’m starting to get an idea for the inside of this thing. The chair will be remade. I thought I’d go with carbon fiber for the bed of this thing. I’ve also started on the locking mechanism. I finished up the details of the access box thing and mocked up how it gets plugged in. I also played a bit with optical flares. Some minor details to the top of the cab.
UPDATE... Here is a close up of the plug. And Another shot of the plug with textures since I’ve started to unwrap the bed. This was mostly a proof of concept for me. It will be clean for now. And this is an idea for a new Earth ship. It’s a mixture of aan old ship I never finished but plan on and the Earth ships from Stargate. There are normally at least two of these ship used to escort the president’s ship. It’s currently called the Mjolnir class. Oh yeah, one more thing. If you play GTA5 online don't shoot me. Thank you.
The more that I look at this work bee, the more I think that this could also work in the ST timeline, as a Work Bee used by United Earth in that universe as well, albeit as one made by a different company, as I believe the capsule-like space-pod we saw in the first episode of ENT was a work bee. Perhaps this could be an ancestor of the Sphinx: Probert's TNG design for a work pod?
UPDATE... I’ve been wanting to do this for some time. This the example type 1 government housing. It’s about the size of my basement and it’s big enough for at least one person to live in. I may increase the size a bit to make it easier to fit the bathroom in.
UPDATE... I decided to work on the UEG drydock and I’m focused on the command sphere for now. I added more detail including large observation windows. I’ve also started on the placement for the smaller windows.
UPDATE... Well ok the windows are in and not looking bad. I’ve placed one room so far just to see how it might look.
UPDATE... I wanted to post these on sunday but I woke up in the middle of a migraine and it stuck around the entire day and I was busy on monday. Anyway the windows are done. Just need to finalize the rooms at some point. I also played a little bit with a texture idea. Here is another new military station for the M’Aangan. A few more details on the dry dock.
UPDATE... Meant to post these awhile ago but I lost my internet connection for a few days but I managed to fix it. I rebuilt this little part that goes under the dry dock. It turned out nice. I also added a little bit to my bug ship. I also came up with another ship design. Not sure what kind of ship it is yet. I also don’t know who it belongs to yet.
UPDATE... Finding it hard to do any work. Not very motivated right now. Anyway. I added some missile launchers. And a few more details.
UPDATE... I roughed these out maybe a month or two ago. Might as well post them now. This is an idea for a building. Maybe the UEG HQ. And this is another ship. Maybe an Earth Battleship. I’m simply calling it The Judge for now.
UPDATE... Well with the death of my dog I don’t feel like doing anything but staying in bed but I did get some work done on the engines of the Mjolnir.
UPDATE... Not getting too much work done but I did get some stuff done on the engines of Space 1. I also picked up a copy of Filter Forge and have to figure out how that works.
UPDATE... I threw a little detail to the front of the ship. And a few more details to the back of the ship.
