early satellite is instantly recognizable, spaceship is funny - i like the paintbrushed areas - i can see it as an animated object roaming around those planets you created and the universe far beyond- happy faces leading the way - possibly the Chicken Souvenir characters you created could pilot the animated spaceship. if they were real objects, maybe 2 inches tall ceramic or plastic - i would buy them - they make me laugh and i do love to laugh. you added a very cool looking logo on the pen drives - is that your design too? the latest work is technically so much more advanced - you HAVE come a long way! you inspire me to keeping learning. i am at the blob stage of modeling - nothing to show for all the time learning but the growth that you have shown us here reminds me to keep working, studying, and playing in trueSpace. i know i will ALSO be able to eventually say "now my modeling skills are good and I can do almost anything what I want" just as you have said.
Thanks for the inspiration!

i will be sorry when i am finished. the 2 sds chapters have taught me so much this morning - edge loops and all about 5 pole and 3 pole creation and when they are good and when they should be avoided. amazing how it all fits together! i wish i would have gone through this tutorial earlier - i was busy just fooling around - although fooling around in trueSpace was worthwhile too. now, thanks to the tutorial, i feel much more confidant and ready to try some actual modeling of objects and characters. i have some simple ideas that i can't wait to get started on. and, as i have learned this week, i will ASK for help if i get stuck. the forum members have years of experience and can answer just about anything! 
(of course i will try a SEARCH first... 
yes!)
