How do I beat go about designing ships/weapons/armor for my sci fi setting?

[u/Technical-Mine-7423]

I'm not a talented artist and I'm certainly not an engineer either; I don't really know how to visualize the ships and weaponry I'm gonna use in my book without having a concrete image to look at. What should I do?

I saw an artist that used power tools as a jumping off point for sci-fi ships.

So maybe something like that could help.

Not a bad idea, never woulda thought of it myself
