Finished with ship number three, my favorite design so far. For this one I used three lengths of chopsticks as the basic press-shape. I still utilized a little pasta, glued to the sticks, for surface detail. I used both angel hair and thick spaghetti. After pressing the basic shape in the mold I detailed as before. A new homemade tool I tried on this one was simply three beads strung on a piece of metal wire. The beads were pressed into the basic outline to give the spherical tank look to the starboard side of the spacecraft.
