After watching the movie – Interstellar, let’s you keep on thinking for a while. About time, gravity, space, galaxy, horizon and 5 dimensions. Actually abstract five-dimensional space occurs frequently in mathematics, and is a legitimate construct. Whether or not the real universe in which...

Progression on the Endurance paintwork over the past month or so. A lot of work in pastel powders and pencil, along with fine brushwork for the thermal blanket weathering to get the real NASA uneven wear look. There's still a lot to do but we're moving forward nonetheless

In the Interstellar Explorer game, visitors take on the role of alien surveyors scouring the far reaches of the greater cosmos in search of life beyond. The game is deployed on three identical Ideum Presenter 65” touch displays with an attached sound bar that provides thematically-inviting background music. Visitors drag their finger across a hex grid to discover clues, find power-ups, and avoid hazards all before their energy is depleted. Upon completion, they will see a detailed “findings” screen that includes NASA-based information about the possibilities of life beyond Earth.
I can't believe how long it's been since I updated the thread on this build- I've been working on it incrementally but totally neglected to keep things posted.
Regardless, here's where I'm at;
five of the modules had severe air cavities under the main layer of resin where it ought to have been solid, so rather than ignore the issue (as it wasn't visible, but was structurally questionable) I cut out those areas before levelling them out with resin and filler.
Then this evening I rewatched Interstellar itself whilst panelling the repaired modules.
Tomorrow I'm going to build the master for the spherical joints... my intention is to vacuum form them in halves to preserve the ability for disassembly.

This was one of the most exciting pieces I think I've ever done for myself. I've always been a big fan of space, as well as created space art before, but this one kinda came alive.
About a week ago I sketched out a rough idea of what I was thinking with my probe satellite image. I used that as a starting point and created from there.
Also I think this is the first time I've used the blur effect in SketchBook Pro - makes those spaceships look mean and fast!
Hope you like it - there are some links to other images I used while creating this one in my photostream.

The Endurance continues to progress, Rangers are both complete and the Landers are at about 70%.
Most of the modules need their windows putting in before I start to detail all the panelling, add weathering and decals....there's still a way to go but we're getting there.
Still very rough, but the Lander is getting somewhere. I may have to split it across the middle and insert a 3 or 4mm piece to correct the proportions between the pod bulks...

de facto on tour with Shadow, Norbert L., jrej and Riffuchs.
Featuring "A Cannibal Star" by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
I finally accepted that the Lander was too stubby and bit the bullet by performing some plastic surgery on the belly (badum-tsshhh)
I'll admit this ship is wreaking through every skill I know, it's a deep technical challenge. Definitely a harder task than I had pegged it to be, however...not an insurmountable one !
In other news I began machining the brass armature.

Story synopsis: “An Interstellar League encounters an alien race which is militaristic and is trying to conquer nearby solar systems. They are located far from the League’s area, but some of the threatened planets are asking for help. Projections show that in just a few centuries the alien race might turn out to be a real threat. What to do – without risking lives?” – isfdb.org
Poul Anderson (1926-2001) was an American author known for his prolific work in science fiction and fantasy genres and for paying scrupulous attention to scientific detail. He published his first science fiction story as an undergraduate and became a freelance writer after graduating with a degree in physics in 1948. Some of his notable works include “The Broken Sword,” “Tau Zero,” and “Call Me Joe.”
James Cameron's "Avatar" and Poul Anderson's novelette "Call Me Joe" (Astounding Science Fiction, April, 1957) share some notable similarities in their plots. In "Call Me Joe," the paraplegic protagonist, Ed Anglesey, explores Jupiter through an artificial body, enjoying the newfound freedom and strength it provides. Over time, he becomes more integrated with the alien identity as he battles predators on Jupiter's surface.
Similarly, in "Avatar," the protagonist, Jake Sully, a paraplegic war veteran, connects with an avatar to navigate the alien world of Pandora. He too revels in the physical abilities of his avatar and faces conflicts with the planet's native creatures and culture.
Cameron has acknowledged various influences for "Avatar," including "Dances With Wolves," Rudyard Kipling, and Edgar Rice Burroughs, but has not specifically cited "Call Me Joe" among them.
