Concepts and start modle

start of project two and I decided to make an entirely new base model to use for this project rather than use one of my previous ones from the first project

I made this while experimenting with different excursions on a sphere on Solid Works (this was the grand creation, it kind of looks like an X button on a game controller without the massive paint job)
when I saw this result, the ideas on how to make this a construction model came instantly and so I began to sketch and create on Solid Works different ideas on how to make parts and put them together.
