First Reban FTL-Ship "Ukumka"

And then some!         

[NARSES2]

I think we should have a Wiffy Class for "Tease of the Year" 

It's just such a terrific idea to start with let alone build 

[Vulcan7]

Epic!!!!

Assembly of the next deck has started: Deck 0 with landing legs, air and water tanks plus water recycling.

This time, floor and hull is printed in one piece for stability reasons. But this makes painting it a bit more tricky


Four lending legs will be there


Some if the aggregates which will be placed in this deck


In the meantime, a new version of the small space craft has been done and test printed. There you can see the "evolution" from left to right.


I guess this what I will go for

Pity you can't do a clear dome for the Reban pilot to look out of.

Isn't that a clear dome on the Phase 3 model on the right?

No, they are all painted. I am currently experimenting with clear, transparent resin, but the result is still far away from "clear".

Interesting, the 3 "wheels and piston" assembly at the top right made me think the Reban's used good old fashioned steam power as a backup ? 

Brilliant

More work is done on Deck 0, the water recycling is added (and no NARSES2, it is not a steam power engine....     


Water tanks (blue), some of the oxygen tanks (white) and landing leg hydraulics (red) are added


Those parts will be mounted at the outside of the hull, some pipes to pump in water plus a landing radar sensor.


Also started to print the second crew deck


And the interior of it

That's me told then 

Fantastic work

Rebans do not like it too much to go down to this deck and work here - as there is no snack machine in this deck.















Next deck to build will be the second crew deck.

Rebans do not like it too much to go down to this deck and work here - as there is no snack machine in this deck.

Which is why so much of it is completely automated.    

The Reban crew just send one, maybe two, of their number down there with their pockets stuffed with snacks &, whilst down there, they check a few instruments, run a few diagnostic checks, maybe tweak a few settings then come back up.

If anything major needs doing a relief team, similarly supplied, is sent down to relieve the first team; who then eat, rest, resupply & return to relieve the second crew, if necessary.


Looking good!

I see, you understand how the Rebans will do it
