(Hopefully) First full ship: Whale-probe

[vgdude999]

I know some people already did the whale-probe, but I'm going to do it anyway. I heard it was a good first ship to make. I have the cylinder, but do I create another for the tractor, cut and extrude, or something else?

Lol that was mine first ship as well, tho I got stuck with alpha maps not showing up at all  :roll it's pretty basic for beginners.
So you have cylinder already then you have to make sphere and another cylinder or 2 crossing planes holding the sphere although I heard the best way is to make a cylindric holder instead of planes ;)

It was also my first ship as well but I never finished it.
There's still some advice in my old thread. I hope it'll help you:

Ok, I got it. Here are some pics... How do I get rid of the curves shown in the last pic?
