Modeling the skirt
Let’s return to the sides of the hull and start creating some skirts. In the next few steps, we will add side armor and details:
- Use planes to create some simple shapes on the sides of the boxes we created before. Extrude them downward to get a shape, as shown in Figure 8.39.
Figure 8.39 – Skirt basic shapes
- Add thickness to the shapes that we just created on the sides with Alt + S. Adding some screws with the help of Array modifiers improves this part greatly.
Figure 8.40 – Solidification and screws
- Add some details, such as hinges and clamps, using tools and techniques that we have already learned.
Figure 8.41 – Skirt details
- Add some more planes and screws to the skirts.
Figure 8.42 – Side planes
- Add more shapes below the parts we created in steps 1–3 and connect them with some...
