I'd had a mind to enter the contest when I thought it was just something RSI was doing for fun, but upon learning that it is a much more involved affair I though it best to turn my amateur *** for the hills and run as fast as I could.

But, I felt like sharing the work I had started since I'd already put some time into it. It really wound up being more an "in atmosphere" craft than a spaceship, but ... anyway.

So, I give you ...

The Chabuhi Rockets And Propulsion (****) Paprika I (Hope you like it!)





This is an early version where I planned to have interchangeable cargo/passenger/luxury modules. I had intended to do full internal modelling as well, but the way I went about it was way more work than it needed to be. If I come back to this project at some point in time I think I have a better idea how to do the interiors that will allow me to also do a seamless cutaway view the way I had planned.



At the very beginning I had big plans to have a full "exploded" version of the craft. I often tend to aim too high.
