Aren't you done yet?

You sir   have too much free time on your hands! Might I suggest you get a hobby or something:)     All kidding aside I think its cool! B.T.W.  what do you feed the imperial walker in the aquarium?

Yeah great progress!

I can hear the TIE fighter sounds in my mind... WAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!

That is such an original idea for a scratch build.

And so well executed.

Inspiring.... .Inspiring!

Have been pouring through the Blu-ray for the surface details... thought this detail was funny - man did they cheat in a few spots to make the port align - at high-speed you dont notice it.  Man - mine had to at least look symmetrical and aligned at no-speed passes...  :P 
 

 Started laying out the general surface elements... some will need to be recessed into the surface.  Other parts are just placeholders... been looking for my stash of Death Star tiles... had one set under the bench.  Need to run to storage and see if I have them there.  Just "cleaned" recently so now I can't find them... LOL.  Also started design of the partial tower.  On vacation, so will be working on general surface layout and positioning over the next couple of days, then another round of materials gathering.

The top comes off on positioning pins and will have handles built under it, just like the bottom.  The bottom just fits through the doors.  Yeah, almost forgot about that early on, but tested it out.  Plus it is upstairs... I'm more worried about the weight to carry it down... lol

Yes, it's built in 1/144.

Well, if you mean the McQuarrie Concept X-Wing, then yes... never was good with the technical ship names, lol .  The litte one and the big one just getting started were from Rich/REL at Sovereign Replicas.  You see them pop up from time to time.  Both are very nice kits.

Thanks.  Fun to be working on it again.

Got all 12 structures tacked in to see if it would connect up...  what a PITA.  Got a couple to reposition, putty, sand, prime... rinse, repeat..., but they all basically fit.  Only the tops are tacked in, so figured would get a pic before it falls in the hole, lol.  When I get it all positioned right, then have to flip it and glue up all of the bottom connections.  Math and guessing... it works pretty swell.  Trying to get the structures done this month, then finally, on to the surface.

That IS cool!  But, how ya gonna get it through the door if you  have to move? Looks like it'll be a tight squeeze. 

Very cool!  I'm guessing you're using the 1/144 Falcon?

Your Model room is very impressive!

I would love to see more of your sweet collection. Is that a split s-foil Z-95 I see on your desktop? (If yes, where can I get one?!)

Please keep up the great work!

Let me say again, great idea and great job. Looking forward to seeing her finished!

Thanks... feels good to be back at it!

A few days off for once, much more progress...

Got all twelve of the inner structures built. Started around the rest of the hole. Was scratching my head as to why the new alignment was off the more I added, then realized that I still had to cut the hole to final size. Got them tacked together and mostly aligned half way around... Also threw in a pic of the display area, as that is where I moved it to work on assembly easier. Kinda shows the massive size of this thing. More soon...

As I said in the other tread...FANTASTIC!

What can be said, except for Brilliant!!

Great idea!

Stunning! Original!
