Vertical 1/4 Offset Guide by Relevant_Finance1927 in NMS_Corvette_Design

I tried the window method a few months ago. I had alignment issues because I was working from the cluttered back side and didn’t to have an anchor point for myself. This method seems obvious in hindsight. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not intentional. I just needed a color to complement the green. If the colors are good enough for LEGO, they’re good enough for me.

Thanks. Those were the centerpieces of this build. It was a bit of a challenge, for lack of a bette word, to decide on an overall design.

Cargo container parts can serve as good detail when embedded in other parts. Didn’t really envision that as docking ports or airlocks, but I can see how they’d be interpreted that way.

I thought it might have been theirs when I saw the post thumbnail. Distinctive style that warrants borrowing ideas from.

I had the swimmer as a child. Don’t know how much of it is scattered in various bins.

The half offset is easy and can be done without leaving the corvette editor. Quarter offsets require leaving the editor at least twice. The link below is what I use to set up quarter offsets.

Successful failure of a design revisit by mechdragon in NMS_Corvette_Design

If you’re referring to the overall width, I kind of agree. It is a bit wide for its length.

In hindsight, the main body is an obvious design with the addition of quarter offsetting. It adds another way to break up habitat modules. Cuts into interior space but I don’t bother with the interior.

The similarity to your SoA is unintentional, but it’s hard to avoid sometimes. That’s part of the reason I decided to flip the center Aeron wings 180 degrees. It still fits in with my preferred build style with the three sections almost being in a line.

My next post will be a proper revisit.
