Have to put in all kinds of deck furnishings too. Monkey Boy: it uses Martian lift wood for anti gravity. Steam power: coal or oil fired boilers and triple expansion steam engines with propellers for propulsion. Sail is used as well, sometimes in conjunction. If the craft is meant to fly between the planets then they use ether. The game was based on the idea that the Victorian ideas were right. All the planets have life. |

That sort of stuff and they still used alot of rigging too. Do you intend to use this for a game? |

 Cool pic. Don't know how much detail I will put in it as SketchUp will only go so far before it chokes. Also there is a lot of details that once you have a curved face then the program is almost impossible to work with. It was for architecture originally.  I'm not making it for playing a game with myself but if you played Space:1889 then you would play it in that game.  | |

 The pivot is a little thin. But the plot is even thinner... Thanks for the compliment too. I've been trying pretty hard to get better. There are so many limitations with the program though so I have to find work a rounds. | |
