Star Adventures II - Design changes



The command center for the Foghorn is different now. To recap: The original wooden set of the Foghorn was a rectangle with three command seats glued to the deck and a booth in the rear for "eating" and in the very back were 3 chambers for cryogenic suspended animation.

The problem regarding the interior size of the Foghorn with the exterior was never really addressed. There was this looooooong corridor shot near the equipment room that could not possibly have fit into the size of the Foghorn. The Equipment room itself was huge, and the bridge was big enough to hold the entire crew of the Enterprise.

The new Foghorn is smaller still. It is insectoidal in external appearence and so this requires basically a single habitable unit within. The interior is basically the bride and nothing else. The cryo-chambers have been moved far forward and the "living" area is in the center. I changed the big giganto seats into smaller seats that can allow easier access. They swival 360 degrees, and each has a joystick controler. Note Joe the Handyman for scale.

This is still a work in progress. More to come...
