I Finished My Space Shuttle!

---

‎

This has taken me so many hours and I’m very happy with the result

---

‎

What I did in the past 4 hours:

‎

• I started and completed the large support that connects the body of the shuttle to the external tanks.
  I had to cut into the external tank and I used multiple tools to add realism like the extrude tool.
  After that, I created cylinder supports that i then connected using the transform and extrude tools.
  ‎
• I started and completed the small support that connected the nose of the shuttle to the external tanks. I had to use many transform tools to make the correct shape but eventually I shaped it correctly.
  ‎
• I added a liquid oxygen fuel line to the large external tank and connected it to the system tunnel with many supports. I mostly used the extrude tool for this step. This took the most time to complete in the 4 hours since my last devlog.

Thanks for the support on this project! I will likely do a space station for my next project.

I will probably ship this project tomorrow, and then it should be available for printing! I tried to design the shuttle for multicolor printing so you should be able to choose multiple colors. There should be a total of 3 different colors since I wanted to limit the amount of filament colors for printing.
