VSS 002 Space Carrier - Part 2

9/30/2020

Comments

 
Primary Deck Layout
In part 1 I settled on the layout for the two primary decks of VSS 002, a space carrier for my Cobra army. How many decks will this carrier have hasn't been determined yet. So far there will be these two decks, the primary flight deck, a secondary mini-flight deck, and the bridge. If the bridge is deck 1, then there will be four decks.

Engines
Deck 2 will have the engine room/engine area. Since VSS 002 will become a main component to any diostories I do, then I want the engine room to have some serious eye-candy for photographic purposes. For me that means interesting lights and shadow. So the engine room area should have a lot of lights, color, and things that go well with those lights -- acrylic displays, grills and floor meshes.

So with these things in mind, I began modeling the engine room. First thing: LED flame torch lights. These things suppose to look like a flame inside a light bulb. They're just a series of LED that light in a pattern to look like flames rising inside the bulb. I found some of these lights that are powered by standard USB. This is great because I also happen to have a Star Trek Warp Core USB car charging device. VSS 002's engines will be powered by a warp core.
There will be two LED torch lights, each housed in a thruster. The structure will have slots mostly for some light to spill out into the engine compartment. The warp core itself has blue and some amber lights. The challenge will be to find a nice balance where the warp core lights provide the main source of light in the compartment, while the torch lights color around the rear walls.
