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.

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...

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.
This is the White Nova Lines Cygnus class passenger starship the Interstellar Queen, passing Uti Nebula.
This vessel was inspired by the paintings of the "Interstellar Queen" by Angus McKie and from the famous "Terran Trade Authority" books by Stewart Crowley.
My version is much more "anime" and made to fit my "Axis universe" background.

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

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.
Photo dump: making headway on the Lander master.
Landing bulks are machined acetal, and thruster chambers in Perspex. I had to simplify the geometry of the landing bulks as I had very little success getting it correct; so I captured the essence of the shapes and moulded them. I'll cast and modify a pair for the slightly larger rear boxes.

A photo I took while picnicking in the desert few months ago. Admiring the stars, I noticed this interesting angle of my husband. It is not his portrait and only an impression of an anonymous character in the dark. My husband said this photo reminds him of the song "Interstellar Overdrive" by Pink Floyd.
I think it fits :). You can click HERE to listen.
After the debacle with the first lander attempt, I decided to build the ship using 9mm perspex.
I milled the angles on the main body, but the rest of the shaping had to be done by hand with a file; you can see I've only built two pieces so far which is because I'm going to save precious time by moulding the side trapezoid part.
Next up, I'll be moulding the Ranger....wish me luck !

This is my first MOC. It started out as a Mining Freighter but shiny white and sleek design does not really match a Space Mining Company now, does it? Interstellar priority freighter it is, for the moment being. :)
Critique and Comments welcome!

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.
