Weekly Developer Log #9: Ship Builder Kickstarter (Patreon)

Hello everyone!

Patreon just changed the structure of some posts, to make things faster for everyone to locate the posts I have grouped everything related to the Sky Ship Builder Kickstarter under the collection Collection | Patreon. If you missed any previous content, just in case you are curious to see how it evolved into what it is.

Even though I like Duchmogul 32mm scale model as a reference, I decided to change to the Old Knight.

Starting from last week I have opened all Ship Builder developer logs so that everyone could have access and those who are interested could follow the project until the final release.

What I did from last time?

I added a cabin structure on the back, from my example, there are 3 levels on the back part of the build. I changed a bit the layout from the reference so that I could add a bit of modularity but everything is there in essence. 

Of course, this is not final and things may shift a bit when I start to add details. To block volumes I'm using planes.

Modularity

So far there are already 3 modular parts without me thinking of redoing some parts.

These are:

Ship length - middle section

Ship length - back section

Top deck - Removal of stairs, Removal of topmost part, length

What's next?

For the next developer log, I will start replacing floor tiles that I already did previously. This will give me volume so I can start moving pieces around.

I will probably shift the cabin a tile forward so that the stairs don't overlap the guard rails.

My total time invested in this project: is 30 hours

Best regards,

Ivo
