This month’s project is a Rocket Wall Clock for an aspiring space traveller’s room! Inspired by photos and illustrations of Classic Sci-Fi rockets and scenes, it features a vintage/retro-style rocket taking off from a “mystery planet” with a 2.5″ diameter clock insert mounted in the rocket’s porthole!
The relief components and vectors were created with the Vectric Aspire software. The main features used: Create Shape From Vector, Create Component from Bitmap (a dome overlay created from a photo of Phoebe – a cratered moon of Saturn), Two-Rail Sweep, Polyline drawing, Copy object along vectors, Node editing and nudge, Smoothing, and Add Draft to model.

Re: Free Project - Rocket Clock
Nice and fun design, Michael.
But how will you explain now to beginners that using Aspire is no rocket science?
