When finished with this step, you will have something similar to the image blow.
Instructions
- Place a sphere on the workplane. Scale it down to 2mm on the Z axis.
- Scale the sphere on the Y axis 40mm.
- Rotate the sphere 90 degrees on the X axis.
- Rotate the sphere counter-clockwise on the Y axis 22.5 degrees.
- Using the black handle, scale on the X axis until the wing is about 25mm
- Align the wing to the Living Quarters, centering on the X and Y axis.
- Move the wing on the X axis until it touches the Divider.
- Select the wing and choose Edit>Duplicate. Holding SHIFT, move the duplicate along the X axis to the other side of the spaceship.
- With the copies Wing selected, choose Adjust>Mirror. Choose the arrows that will mirror the wings along the X axis.
- Move the Wing on the X axis until it touches the Divider. Select both wings and group them together.
- Position the camera so that you are looking down on the spaceship. With the grouped wings select, hold ALT and rotate on the Z axis by 90 degrees. Holding ALT will create a duplicate of the group.
- Select all of the wings and rotate them 45 degrees on the Z axis.

The wings for the Escape Pod are similar to the Living Quarter's wings. Instead of starting from the beginning, lets copy the wings we made and make a few changes. When you are finished with this step, you will have something like the image below.
Instructions
- Select all of the wings made in the last Step. Holding ALT, Move them up on the Z axis about 32mm.
- Holding SHIFT, scale the wings down to 15mm equally.
- Move the Escape Pod wings up on the Z axis until they touch the Nose Cap.
- Position the camera so that you are looking down on the spaceship. Rotate the Escape Pod wings 45 degrees on the Z axis.
