    SO REUPDATE ON THE PROJECT!

    now it's 502m long, and currently being shaped and re-hollowed by hand

    Now for an example of how i build parts of the ship when i feel the binvox shaped it wrong:

    making the contour lines:



    extending the contour lines:



    finally finishing the curve:



    editing little contour errors made initially with first contour lines:



    And that's how i build binvox ships. binvox--> part of the result is crap--->delete crap--> redo shapes that binvox got wrong :P

    I have made a little ship called the pillar of autumn that is just under that lengh (Around 490 blocks i would say). The only diference is i made the whole lot by hand :/. If anyone is interested in the ship message me and if i get enough interest in the ship i will go to showcase it on the official starmade servers. It is a repleca true to the original (although scaled down to a suitable size) but has a redone interior that isnt finished.

    update: a lot of work done :D

    upper hull exterior is finished incl all the turret emplacements that are to be on the top.


    the turret emplacements on top (inset turrets) might be expanded for bigger turrets if i deem their power to be inadequate.

    i\'ve probably spent a few hours each day the past 3 weeks working on it.

    it annoys my bf that i stay up super late and sleep in in the mornings while he still has to go to class. :P

    the wedged version will take a long time (since i\'m busy working on another battleship at the moment and the purple hurt my eyes from all the exposure :P) i\'ll get back to this sometime in the future though.
