So, unlike the several of us who've been doing fun stuff with Poser and DAZ and such, I decided to go in for a different field. I've been working so far with Google Sketchup, although I'm tempted to give Autodesk Fusion a try since they offer a free one-year renewable license for hobbyists.
So I've been doodling some spaceships, had a test print of one run from Shapeways and it came out pretty darn good.

The destroyer design has changed slightly since this picture and still has one update to go through, I think, as I need to clean up the hull-edge trim properly so it will print in WSF.I'm working on a frigate to go with these but at the size it's coming out it will only be able to print in FUD (though it won't cost much even for that).I've also posted a heavy cruiser design that I don't have a picture of right this minute.
Meanwhile I've started work on another set of ships:Khitai Principality Bai Ying CA:[img]http://i.imgur.com/lA5Math.jpg?1]
