About this creation
-Problems on the Bridge-

After laying down some preliminary floorplans (the floor, essentially), I start from the beginning to build up. Using the large Paradisa windows (soon to be called the PCS windows) really helps give a good shape and curve to the front of my ship. It also helps in brick conservation.

The color scheme I want is dark grey, black, and red. Red will be use kinda sparingly until I get to the end, when I'll be using it alot for detail. Hopefully this will all work out. Mainly I want to avoid the red stripe I used for the Duvernay.

This episode will focus on some of the design problems I had while building the Bridge. First I found out that the Paradisa windows are exactly 5 bricks high when placed on their side. Although I want most of the ship to be 6 high, I though five high would be good for the bridge.

The problems? I also wanted to include a sliding door between the bridge and the rest of the ship, but I made the door five high. It ended up looking sloppy, so I raised the bridge to be six high. Here I show using grey bricks as "tester bricks" to see how something will work before I redo the entire structure.
