    I THINK I have the Catman’s hospital module complete. Had to do two models
    – one with the door closed for transport and one with the door open and porch deployed
    – because I do not yet know how to rig a model so that elements can be posed and/or animated.
    Here are the pix.

    Now I have to go off and make an “inflatable” ward module. Easy-peasy, right?

        No, it barely fits. The motors won’t rotate, so it will have to depend on the horizontal motors for movement.

        With respect, Rob it really does fit. Here are a couple of views from the port side to prove it.
        Everything there is per the Catman’s express wishes. The fight is tighter than a new set of rings,
        admittedly and I would have preferred to have had a bit more room all around but that is the way the Catman wanted it.
        I will so attest under penalty or perjury and have the emails to back it up.
        The engineer in me wanted some wiggle room but the Catman overruled me.
        Email me and I will send you a 3ds or obj export of the complete module rescaled and attitude adjusted to match the Locust
        (bare model no bells/whistles) and cargo module Catman sent me to use for scale and fit.

        I know my stuff isn’t commercial quality, Rob. Hell! I’m still learning.
        I was cleaning out old files and the OLDEST Anim8or file in the directory was from 2 weeks before Thanksgiving.
        That would mean that I’ve only been seriously pursuing doing this stuff a scant SIX WEEKS! Gimme a break, would ya?
        Catman is getting the abso-FEKKING-lute bleeding edge of my (admittedly meager but growing) skills at 3D modeling.
        Sorry my stuff ain’t up to your exacting standards.

          YOU are the one making this,, not me.. i though it would not fit.. i was/am wrong.! :)..
          an skills,, whatever 3d skills you have is 110% more than me.!! .. think of me as a “line mech” ..
          having to fix / work on this.. (and you know how mechs love to bitch how the “Engineer” made their job twice as hard,
          by putting “that” there.! ) now did i say ,, i love this.!
          also if you want me to stop.. say so… my 2 cent comments are just that,, not worth the copper they were stamped in…
          (electroplated zinc, 97.5% zinc, then copper plated. then stamped,, worth bout 7/10 a cent..)

    Ah, Catman? Just for grins and giggles, a couple of minutes ago I checked the status on the care package.
    According to the U.S.P.S. the package was delivered to a P.O. box near you about 1000 hrs today.
    Did I piss you off or something?

    Please advise.

      I don’t FUCKING believe this! I mailed it to you over a month ago only for it to take a trip around the Southeast and end up back in my PO Box?
      And they charged me Priority Mail for the privilege? I’ll go get it Monday and FedEx or UPS it to you. Do you have a preference?
      What worries me is that things are going to get a lot worse. The Mayan prediction was a typo, they didn’t mean 2012, they meant 2021!

        Not to worry, Catman. New Years is just 6 days away. Wait until the 4th or so. Ain’t no rush.
        No need to get upset on my behalf. I’m still learning from the Cargo Madule and Locust.
        Any likelihood you’d be wanting a slightly less clunky looking cargo module? I KNOW I can do cleaner,
        tighter curves and my door hinges would NOT be fit for a bank vault or the blast doors of a Titan II Launch Control Center.
        Might not be able to open the doors just yet but they’d look a lot more like the doors on a real ISO shipping container.
        There’s a place 2 miles from my house that sells the things.
        I could go and take photos of the things to my heart’s content to use as source material and textures.

    So, he does have some discretion in how much the tolls are. That, or he figures he can cover the toll himself with that dragon someone seems to have dropped over in the far corner of the booth.

        More like, “Oh yeah, he’s going to Terra with you, no matter WHAT your Empress might say…”

        BTW; as I understand it, the Empress is the one married to the Emperor,
        and the Emperor is the one who actually rules, whether male or female…

          Emperor = a sovereign ruler of great power and rank, especially one ruling an empire.
          Empress = A female emperor is called an empress. also 1st female emperor of Rome, Livia Drusilla
          it is a title.! there have been times in history where a female ruled..
          but at times played male to please others.. IE: Hatshepsut
