Here are the first few items for the space enthusiast set! There are a couple models, a helmet, a wall button, and a large satellite decor.
Update (Wednesday night): Added the moon floor, space boots, a meteor rock & one in a jar, and a futuristic spacey chair.
Update (Thursday afternoon): Added some more items & previews: shoe decors, a star alarm clock radio, a moon wall clock, a painting, a console table, hair clip decor, a telescope, and a star/rainbow kid's desk.
Update (Thursday evening): Added 2 space suit decor, an adult & a child size. A lunar lander and moon rover (I made a really cute pastel swatch to go with that one!) Another console table, a plate of space tacos decor, and the plate of mooncake. Mooncake is made for the mid-autumn festival in China, so since that is pretty soon I also included this item, it's so cute.
Update (Thursday night): I spent most of this evening working on 4 potted alien plants, and a decluttered, slotted, recolored shoe rack/shelf item. It's a nice little place to put the plants, & has a space theme with the paint! I added glass to the surfaces. (the little weird top on plant 2 has been fixed.) I hope everyone is having a nice week 😊 Question: If I were to make a set of a portion of some of the ACNH wreaths, which ones are everyone's favorites?

Update (Friday afternoon): Added the control panel (it is a surface with slots) a med pod decor, a robot arm decor, & 3 walls: med bay type lit walls, alien symbol walls, and galaxy walls. 43 files so far ☺️ The medical operating cart is from the ACNH Hospital Set, but I have added a bunch of slots to it today, so if you want to update the file for your game, it's HERE 💗
Update (Friday evening): Added a space version of the board game with matching card holder and card stack. Also made 2 more wall art, a small square one and a medium rectangle one.
Update (Friday night): Added preview pics of the 3 different sizes of wall art. Added an "alien DNA" decor item that has a soft glow in the dark. (This is not done with vertex paint, unfortunately. I wish I have that figured out. This is an effect applied in the materials section of the model LOD tab in warehouse, and the item will not light up the surrounding area). I made a bunch of swatches for it, I am really liking how this one turned out!
Update (continued): I have one more item that I'm trying to get to work, for a total of 51 files. I will be finishing it tomorrow (my time, CET) & then I will work on getting all the preview & swatch pics. This set should hopefully be posted by tomorrow night! 💗💗💗

Update (Saturday evening): I added the moon as a wall lamp as a request Its mesh was just a flat square, so I gave it a new mesh that is a round dome.💗 It has no custom vertex paint, because my vertex paintbrush in Blender will not work as it is supposed to. Vertex paint for lighted objects is black, white and shades of gray. It tells the object where it needs to glow on the surfaces, and how much. I follow many tutorials and look up on Blender stack exchange, it just isn't doing what it is supposed to. So I always offer in posts that contain a lamp for any other creator to add vertex paint to the item if they want to with a note that I would add credit to them in the post and file.

The other item I was messing with today and ended up remaking is this brain robot music player. Everything looked great and then in game it emitted no music notes when turned on. So I remade it, now the glass looks too light as you can see in the preview image. I'm going to try to make the glass a little more visible on these.
Update (later Saturday night): The glass on the radio looks good now! I added a gif ☺️🎵 Now begins the process of getting in game/swatch pic.s
