BBB Trasport Ship

[Dzemo]

This is my concept for a ship called BBB

[Dzemo]

I didnt like how the textures were coming along so I decided to remake it. I took the original, did an -subdivide until I got the box shape of it. From there I selected each part by using the surface select and remade each part individually. Then I put them together a for this look.

Next I made a cargo container. I used the tutorial on making custom textures. Yes the texture on the ship should look familiar to all of you. I assure you though that using the same basic textures in the tutorial, I made my own.

I modified the can I used from the can making tutorial and applied a custom texture to that as well. That became the 4 fuel tanks ontop with a nuclear symbol on them. Because everyone knows space fuel is nuclear

The cockpit was textured with a standard pic I found of broken building windows. I really didn't like this though

[Dzemo]

Now I made a new cockpit and found a much nicer pic to texture it with. Its a dome window. I just noticed comparing the pictures I am making of it that the cargo holders became much larger at some point

I also made a custom texture for the placard at the front of the cargo box.

Arm for cargo holder.
I should comment too, that along the way of modeling this ship and one of my others, I have been searching the tutorials and trying out the various plugins.

One of the most helpful ones was the UV Mapper.

The cargo box a bit lower held by a chain.

Here I have shamelessly downloaded someone else's model and taken the chain from it. I dont know how to make chains yet. You can bet I will replace it though, when I learn how.
