Stunning work!
Is the level of detail your showing standard, or are you adding additional detail?

I'm just doing the normal level of detail with a few tweaks here and there.

Beyond that, I finished section 8 last night. It is the super speeseship robot pagoda edition!

Things are still going together well. I don't remember it going nearly as quick the first time I made this.... but it is looking nice.

I'll be interested to see your build of the guns - then I might jump in. I don't know if I can pull off the front end and the guns without messing them up.

Last time I did the guns I did add some detail there. I'll probably do something similar again this time.

This is what they came out like.

Here is section 09, the bottom portion.

This too went together very easily.

Thanks for the great tips and vids. May I ask what are the weights you use in your videos?

Those are 1-2-3 blocks that you can find in a machine shop or welding shop.

Thank you for the info, they look very useful.

I am also working on a 3d model of the HMS Fearless from the Honor Harrington books. It is coming along over here: Album: hms fearless cl-56 I am figuring it'll be 2-3ft long when done.
