Wow!  I really like!

Now I get a good idea how a low-budget show like Red Dwarf could cobble together such a fantastically detailed monstrosity for a ship!

My son was bugging me about how to go and make something like what you show here from scratch.  You may have just provided a highly worthwhile "how-to" that covers everything from ingenuity to practicality.

Thanks much for sharing.

Definitely a will-do thing.  He's wanted to try and make something from scratch more than anything, even given the handful of model kits he's not touched but wants to do as well.  He and I looked at your site last night together and it's a definite thing in his head.

So, gonna git on it!

Thanks, Terry for your kind comments. I'm working on part 3 right now, so hopefully in a few weeks, I'll have that up.
Take care.
