Nice work WM.
Might I suggest you use wire for pipes etc. Just put them straight then staple them across.
Keep it up

That is coming along nicely. Some paint on there will really bring it all together. Nothing wrong with detail, but you can always add more later if you are in a hurry to get it on the table for a game. If not, then just enjoy the process!

What is the black mesh stuff? I like the fineness of that as compared to granny grating.

Thank You.

The black mesh is fiberglass insect screen, I just so happen to have had some on hand. I want to use granny cloth as pallets for goods and cargo.

I wonder if the little patch kits would have a more reasonable amount of screen, as opposed to several doors' worth.

Might be, I just went to the local Mom and Pop Hardware store that rescreens screens and asked if it was okay to have a small chunk of old used stuff, they said it was no problem.

I plan on using Cat5 connectors as computers they will need the back cut off and some updating.

These are the ones I already have, so if you have a bunch of Cat5 connectors and wire laying around now you have another use for them!

Thanks for the idea, but I'm sure I can find something that I can save and print for far less but yes that is a great idea.

Really cool project, it reminds me the indie video game "faster than light" !

Hello again WM,
Would this be good to use as a floor plan? It's on sale at the moment.
I personally like using ready made art & use it as a base.Saves me loads of painting.

Pretty sure those are scaled for larger figs, but I've adjusted print plenty of times in the past for others...

0-hr and Fat Dragon Games are other producers I like, though FDG used to have a lot more ships that where pulled for using Open Design License, which I was promised LONG AGO would be stripped to allow further sale.

So far, no joy. :'(

Very interested in the Cat-5 connector terminals. I think those are going to paint up splendidly. Easy enough to get my hands on those too!

zruneload,
Myself and CookAndrewB are scaling the floor plans on a one inch square, I'm taking my leads from Cook, so if you can rescale that down to one inch squares I can't see why not.

I did get some more work done on this project, I have all of the hull interior stuff done, now I just need to work some more on the out areas and the wing section will have time to do so tonight hope to have pictures up soon before painting it and then some after painting it.

1"/25mm is a pretty good scale for 15mm, I find. A 25mm hallway is big enough to move a 15mm figure down without being too cramped, while still feeling like a hallway. I think most grid maps for RPGs, etc are scaled to 1", though you might find the scale of the sundry items in the image to be out of proportion if it is designed for 28mm. A car, for instance, would be enormous by comparison, even if they are both in a 1" grid. If the mad itself doesn't have anything like couches, cars, etc overlayed, then I can't see why it would matter. Things like pipes, barrels, and signs area all scale agnostic. I've seen huge Las Vegas style signs and smaller "open" signs. Pipes could be something like a water supply pipe in a house, or an oil pipeline pipe. You get the picture. It really until something is a place where you "put your butt" (chairs, cars, toilets, etc) where scale gets weird

I manage to get some more work done on this project I didn't get as far as I had hope too but things are moving along. So here are some of the updates;

The bridge is done now,
