Got some work on the bridge done.Some progress is better than none.

Now I have to fill seems and make sure it looks good before priming.

Looking forward to it.

See !

The original design was probably a take - off of a door stop !I have seen so many Star Wars and othe Sci-Fi ships that had roots in common things till the imagineer decided to take a chance .I definitely wouldn't have room for this .My Enterprise Carrier ( when I get her ) is going to test the theory that you can put a large ship in a tight space !

Rambo, this thing is 27.5 inches long and 18.5 inches at the widest. This is a  recast from the annigrand kit, I am not sure who makes the SSD.

hey Gamera, hope I will be able to do a decent job on it.

Wow, that's going to be friggin' epic!!!

Looking forward to more!

Rambo, thanks i may pick your brain a little. This will be my third lighting effort and with each one i try to do something to improve. I guess we all do that tho.

Hogfants, thanks for looking in. I approach this one with a little trepidation.

Here is the bottom hull

I strengthened it by epoxy flat steel bars on the inside.

The superstructure just cobbled together to get an idea of how it looks.

GMorrison,

    Thanks for the advice, I will have to do something like that once I get to that stage. Not my first time playing in resin, but the other ships hulls were one solid piece. This one comes in six parts, three top and three bottom, that you join together and the warping is not helping. We will see how it goes together.

Stephen,

That will be an incredible build once it's done! I'm looking forward to the seeing pictures.

I'm looking forward to your build. Online build articles show a very impressive kit- you've got some b*lls, man.

As a longtime ship modeler, I would suggest that you design and build a good solid temporary work base, one that can be switched out for a finished one later.

When I build say a 1/350 aircraft carrier, I'll mount her on pedestals on a piece of 1x10 shelf board longer than the ship. I like to put a upturn piece of same on one end, it allows me to lay the thing on it's side and still have a sturdy support for working on it.
