Delos 2.0 Update (Outside Galley, Revised Roof, Water Catchment) (Patreon)

A HUGE thanks to our amazing Patron Chris and his son Max! A few weeks ago we put out a post asking for help and Chris kindly volunteered his time. Together they took on the task of updating our Rhino .3DM surface model to incorporate the latest design features from our structural model. The surface model is used to show how the design will look and the structural model shows the actual parts are used and how they are assembled together. So in essence the structural model is used to cut and assemble the actual pieces, while the surface model is used to produce renders and show us what it will look like. When the structural model is update by the design team it takes additional time and labor to keep the surface model in sync. Since we run on a pretty tight budget Chris volunteered his time and used the opportunity to teach his son Max a very cool skill, saving us quite a bit of labor cost in the process. It's awesome they were able to work together on this :) Nice work you two!

 If you look closely you'll notice:

1) A revised and larger roof surface that provides additional solar capacity, water catchment, and protection from the weather. We now have one solar company that says we can fit an astonishing 5KW of solar power on the roof alone!!!

2) Revised roof supports for a more modern look, moved outwards to make more space along the aft bulwark. These roof supports will also serve as cable runs for solar wiring and to route rain water into our tanks below.

3) The aft bulwark has been revised to include an outside galley! So we will have a stove, BBQ, sink, and even a fridge which will just be pure joy for tropical living :)

4) The aft bulwark also includes a dive compressor, dive tanks, equipment lockers, life raft, and even an integrated fuel tank for the dinghy which is something I have dreamed about for years.

5) We have also decided to make the rudders invisible, and will utilize a new electric thrust vectoring technology! J/K Just making sure you guys are paying attention :)

Please let us know your thoughts below and a huge thanks to Chris and Max for their help!
