    Maybe it's because I'm viewing on my phone, but I genuinely thought they were production photographs and was waiting for the renders to load up.

    Wow!

    Those little imperfections along the seams of the "box" are glorious :techman:

    Bloody hell. I'm trying not to let my compliments sound too repetitious. Not managing it, honestly. Wonderful And thank you for sharing.

    A very early WIP shot of the shuttle interior:

    Sooooo... It looks like that's the set as built. It's probably pretty hard to do an alternate that fits in the actual shuttlecraft. (And makes more sense as a vehicle anyway.)

    Way nice, of course.

    Is your shuttle going to be done Tardis style?

    Actually, as of right now (I have yet to build the aft compartment) this fits somewhat comfortably inside a 26 foot shuttlecraft. However, the windows present a problem (there is no way to line them up properly with the interior and still maintain a modicum of accuracy of the sets as built) so they are going to represent sensors/screens instead of windows. The other non-accurate representation that arises out of marrying the exterior with the interior is the fact that the exterior hatch ends up being much larger than the interior hatch, so I'm devising sort of an airlock instead, with an exterior hatch, an interior hatch, and a small compartment between the two.

    It still remains to be seen if I can successfully pull this off without severely altering the sets from what we see on screen, but so far it's looking at least doable.

    There's also the disprepency between the upper doors of the exterior prop (they slide in and then sideways) and the upper doors of the internal set (simple pocket doors).
    An airlock marries these two door types together nicely

    The only problem I'm running into in this airlock type setup is that the lower inner door doesn't have adequate room to fold outward without colliding with the exterior shell. I'll have to come up with a solution for that.

    The lower door on a hinge will be a problem anyway unless you plan to make the airlock section really wide. Otherwise, where will the person stand as they close the inner door?

    I know it's less screen accurate, but it might be better to make the whole inner door a shooting pocket design.

    Happy Thanksgiving! Between visiting friends today, I modeled the shuttlecraft crew chair. Check it out!

    Looking at those moulded plastic seats, I have to wonder how comfortable they would be for long shuttlecraft journeys. Or at least, how sweaty they would get ;)

    I've modeled Burke chairs before. What I didn't know how to do back then was surface them. Which you've done beautifully. Nice job.

    No kidding. Not TOS's most practical set. (Which is why I never have a problem when people dink with it.)

    Going on a long shuttle ride bring a seat cushion, obusforme and your Starfleet issue blanket and pillow. :biggrin::)

    They're actually made of highly advanced material that can shape to your body, adjust its temperature, and give you a massage.

    They'll need to ask permission before doing that last one. Otherwise they're just being rude.

    I've reached a new level of insane detail. I modeled the attitude display indicator the producers snagged from military surplus to use in the console of the shuttelcraft. :biggrin:

    Still some tweaking of the textures I'm using for the console, but couldn't wait to get these shots on the board. And please note I'm going for how the shuttle interior appeared in the season 2 episodes "The Doomsday Machine" and "Metamorphosis", and NOT it's later appearance in "The Immunity Syndrome"
