Happy-ish with the plane design now, can spend some time on the backdrop!
Painting in my own water now: current direction for the plane is unpainted wood as the family is still experimenting with it but that may change!

Work continues on the cockpit design, I am going to start adding instruments and controls, among other things.

Which of the two files do you find most interesting a way to meet these dolphin creatures?

I am testing Notion to give me some structure while I put this book together. It lets me see exactly what needs to be done, and I can set my own deadlines to do it.
