NOTE THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY

Just had a go at making a ship in 30 minutes, it's gonna a be an interesting challenge if anyone will participate,but i need to change my technique, my ship is rubbish.

here's a pic.

Okay. .. I'm in. 30 mins. Didn't have time to do an interior, but I think this speaks for itself. And George really should holding the Joystick, but in the future cars will drive themselves.

Jane. .. get me off this crazy thing!. . . Called Love! (name the Movie!)

[Marian]

Really nice ship, David

[modelhead]

Hey that's good...nice start David!

[boofredlay]

Here is my go at it. I have a couple more ideas in mind but don't know if I will be able to do more than the one entry.
30 min. for modeling and coloring. Straight SU export using the "Brush Strokes on Canvas" style in the standard Assorted Styles.

I see this thing at about 3000 feet long.
The mesh was made by creating 10 stacked profiles of same segment, selecting/arranging groups of verticies with the scale and move tool to modify the profiles. The stack was skined with the loft ruby tool. The bow and stern where shaped with the freeform ruby. The colors where accomodated by lofting in sections which then created groups which could easily be selected and colored.

The image below shows the original wire used to make this model...nothing was added or taken away except the straight lines needed to sew up the gap after the loft. Each curve was divided into 8 sections to give me some wire to freeform after I created the layers.

Here's another quickie.

In case it wasn't readily apparent. . I am a child of 1960's television.

The Jupiter 2 from Lost in Space.

Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

Here is my entry finally.
1. Just push/pull and scale for the ship
2: then a fast,rough silhouette(Tell me if this is wrong)and follow me to make the turbins and then fast copied.
3. Then just sqares, I've already cut the painting right.
But it might have been 20 seconds over time limit or something, because of the unbeleavable lagg when I copied the container, I hope that's ok.

Here is my first enrty ever.

I've always wanted to enter but have struggled to find time and inspiration

Nice Tobobo, I think you captured it pretty well.

Jane. .. get me off this crazy thing!. . . Called Love! (name the Movie!)

I missed your request for the movie title...

"So I Married an Axe Murderer" Great film. And I did not even have to look it up
I can see Mike Meyers on stage right now...

Now this I did look up:
"Woman... woe-man... whoooa-man. She was a thief, you got to belief, she stole my heart and my cat. Judy, Betty, Josie and those hot Pussycats... they make me horny, on Saturday morny... girls of cartoo-ins will leave me in ruins... I want to to be Betty's Barney. Hey Jane... get me off this crazy thing... called love."
