I probably won’t have enough time on Sunday due to Clan Battles, but Monday’s a clean slate … or rather I’ll make sure it is. The plan is to do a final sweep of the ship, make sure the outside looks the way I want it to look, take care of any odds and ends on the inside, and then start recording.

I’ll need to do a few takes to see if I can go through the whole ship on a good route in just a few minutes. If not then I’ll at least have multiple takes to pull footage from. From there it’s just taking a few more screenshots, writing up some text, and editing together a video. Frankly, the blog portion of this should be the easiest part, but we’ll see.

I’m still gun shy about uploading videos here directly so I’ll probably use youtube.

For now, here are some previews of the ship in its current form.

Prinz Heinrich‘s redesigned bow

The ship had one large engine and a few tiny ion thrusters for appearance, but now has three large thrusters

Head on view of the ship, Star Blazers style~

Also some bonus pictures, since I did mention I had already started work on a new ship.

The Heinrich wound up with much bigger guns than I intended

So there you have it. Admiral Hipper might be significantly larger, but I the Heinrich is a lot more impressive on the inside right now. The Hipper will eventually catch up, but for now Prinz Heinrich is much more functional and put together. I went through enough design overhauls to be sure of that.

The article on the Heinrich should be done late Monday or sooner. It just depends on how the recording and editing go, really.

That’s all for now.
