I’m not finished yet, so I probably won’t have pictures or the like until tomorrow at the earliest, but the reason I’m doing this is because I realized I can get the interior and exterior combination I want without starting from scratch.

That’s not to say I didn’t try. The trouble there was that I’d already come off that inspiration high I mentioned last week. By then I was just struggling to follow a specific interior pattern and it left me flailing while trying to figure out the exterior. I didn’t have any real direction, basically. Once I started chopping off pieces of the original Hipper to fill in the blanks, I knew I was on the wrong track.

The original Hipper’s shape is more or less right. The internal layout is the problem, so we’re stripping the whole thing out and rearranging everything to be more sensible, navigable, and just that bit more practical for actual fighting. Anyway, that’s the plan on that. There’s plenty of other things going on, but this is the only thing worth mentioning right this minute.
