Spacematic Variant - Interior/Exterior

[Tarek71]

The whole idea of indoor plumbing is just a way to ruin books---I should know.

I put the sink next to the bathroom with that in mind. And left room between the wall and bathroom and kitchen and the outer hull for a water tank. Plumbing is a well known issue with space ship design. I made one ship with a rotating section for the crew and I am still trying to figure that out.

I did see a machine that someone made IRL. You pee into it and out the other end comes drinkable water. Something like that might be needed on there.

Working on the front compartment. I needed to lower the sleep pod to make sure there is a room for the wraparound glass cockpit window. The pilot and copilot stations and their chairs are up.

Not happy with those chairs. So I made a new one from scratch separately and then imported to this model. Definite improvement.

I created a cutaway of the ship and slotted the interior model into the exterior model. The matchup is a little off, but I expected some nip and tuck alterations would be needed to make them fully fit together.

Working on the rear engineering compartment. Added a chair to the workstation (and one to the desk in the living compartment). Also building a small Warp core/reactor assembly.

Warp core attached.

Increased the size of the Warp reactor and started running the pipes connecting it to the nacelles.

SpaceMatic runs into the Romulan Gunship.

Closed up the back of the exterior and added some detail to the aft section. I looked at TOS Shuttle aft exteriors to get a general idea on how to lay it out.

Love it!! I drafted a ship pretty much this size and submitted it to ADB for Star Fleet Battles, and they published it.

Thank you! I am pleased with how this little guy turned out. Certainly an idea to submit it.
