Day 2 I really thought those dorky little shuttles I built in Raydream about 84.6 years ago were just too dorky so I built new ones. This took about 1.5 hours. They're really low detail and they're not like the real thing but hey, these are construction shuttles in drydock. It's art! In all cases, these shuttles look nicer and have more details in the right places and are significantly more spiff.

I also changed some of the smaller parts on the drydock model as I thought some of the original stuff was a shade silly (yeah, I know, I built that model only four days ago and I'm not happy with it!). Fooled around with the blue panels some but I'm still not happy.

Re-textured the starship primary hull completely and re-did all that paneling. The original thing I did with the paneling was just too much so it needed work. In addition, I did some manipulation of the internal decking and dialed it. Adjusted the lights a lot by adding some additional target helpers and spread them out some. I also adjusted their angles and falloffs a LOT. I built a frame for the starboard engine pylon and added conduits to the pylon internals.
