The hero ship is done (well it was done a week ago, but I’ve been blog-procrastinating). With the ship out of the way and definitely using Lightwave for everything but dynamics, I’ve started constructing the dock superstructure, drawing heavily from industrial reference and the death star tunnel from Return of the Jedi. The plan is to construct a framework that will extend the length of the dock tunnel (this is done, see below), then construct a dozen various pipes, assemblies and doohikies that can be scaled and rotated and placed around the set, per the needs of each shot. In the image of the dock below, the mockup of the Flea has been thrown in for size comparison.
