Part 2: Early Sim
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am a bit behind on the model right now, I'm not worried as I will be compensating this loss for part3 . Thankfully, not all is lost, I made some progress in other areas. I created the early prototype for the firing simulation within Houdini. I plan to setup an entire animation within UE5 using the alembic pipeline.

Part 1: Blockout
This project is significantly more difficult than the Hubble Telescope, so I really have to make sure my forms are strong from the start. By now, I'm pretty married to the CAD workflow, I've been able to model 3x quicker than I would even at full speed on Blender. By now my pipeline is near instant, I don't even have to export anymore.
