It's has been experimental for material testing but looks like good for my ship (with little corrections)

Looks good so far! Neat idea to have bullet holes in the windows, gives a authentic feeling.

I think that my ship will need some light.
All my available LED was too big because of that I used LED from old mobile phone.
The switch is made from silicon.

Here light is in the wheelhouse.

A lit stove? Expletive, now I've seen everything! Impressive! :thumbs_up_1:

And the windows from a pill strip: that's ingenious!

I am back :wave_1:
There is some details for show.
Steam room and kitchen. All doors has opening and inside has light. It's not fully finished.
PA220014.JPG
PA220018.JPG
PA220021.JPG
Hatchway to engine room. All covers has opening.
PA220022.JPG
PA220013.JPG
And here is my ship body.
PA220020.JPG
And here is my ship crew prototype.
PA140012.JPG
It's made from wax. After from this provided to create a few from silicon and inside aluminum skeleton (one individual can to strike a pose how I want) , and in the boots little magnets (don't need glued because my ship has from metal).
But reality is not to sweet... :huh:
Too biggest problem has block creation. First time I cant take out finished product but second time my to prototype and he don't survive. :(
But I don't think to surrender!
