Another quick update. I have made some progress, I changed a couple of things that really did not work with the design over all. The most notable change is the landing gear and ramp that I have added.

New 3d model

I decided to take a small break from animation and do a little bit of modeling again. I always loved to model ever since I was little I used to build stuff out of Lego's, which was always fun and inventive. I also put together plastic models all the time, and Even built my own toy spaceships out of cardboard. Anyway, childhood obsessions aside I really do enjoy 3d modeling.
The model itself is still a work in progress, so far I have the basic shape and a few larger details worked out

In these Animations I decided to really focus on doing the animation in steps. In the past I usually just did straight ahead style animations. For some that may work out great but I figured out that it was harder to get the overall action timed correctly.

I decided to work on a weight lift animation. This was done using a combination of key framing and straight ahead posing.
