Sylandro-Tec Orbital Capsule (WIP)

[Sylandro]

I'm a total newbie to Blender, but i'm getting used to it. So; what do i do with it? Make a command module.

It still needs textures; though. My inspiration for the command module is this:

[Top8]

You could do a version of the Orion capsule NASA is working on.

Or model the cool trans-hab you have posted there.

[Sylandro]

Actually, the trans-hab is added onto the command module already.

DP - Some progress images.

You know that ESA's ATV doesn't have a command module, there was however in the former soviet union a spacecraft that could carry cargo and crew: the TKS.

It was tested a few times without crews and was later retired but the design stayed and was used as a baseblock for other space station modules.

[Sylandro]

I was also inspired by something else by the ESA, but i can't find the image for it. So; for now; it's a lovechild between Orion and ATV.

[MK3424]

I think i can guess what it could be: i read about a cooperation between NASA and ESA to combine the Orion and the ATV for long duration flight.

Engine bell has been added.

Also; i'm thinking about calling this Maja Einstien. Why?

In case you didn't know, Maja Einstien was Albert Einstien's sister.

[MK3424]

Yep, got the nudge.

[Sylandro]

I wanted to do three small engines, but due to my limited blender skills, nope.

[MK3424]

You can make them as seperate engines for the spacecraft.

[Sylandro]

True, true. But anyway, i need a texturer.

[BLUAV8R]

Like the work so far if you need a good texture person i would contact blackheart612 as he is a good texture artist there's some others as well but he helps do textures for lots of cool mods

[Sylandro]

So, i made a SRB to accompany the Maja Einstien.

It's pretty much like a upper stage that does most of the gravity turn for the command module.

I may make a model scout for everyone; but that is penultimately decided by my procrastination.

Hi there! Welcome to the fun

There are two pointer I would like to give to you. First of all, I understand that this is your first model and all, but you might want to add some more detail. It is good to block things out, of course, but there needs to be some meat on the bones.

Also, you might want to consider naming the thing Einstein instead of Einstien

bump for optimism about this mod
