Thank you all for your support!

Of course you didn't discourage me, I like to be criticized . So, here we go - the catwalks are finished: Railings and support struts will be drawn unfolded, they are too easy to bother with them now. BTW, a gantry (is that the right word?) crane under the ceiling would be exactly the detail I've been missing all the time. I'll at least include some rails to suggest it was there and was removed when the owner started to use the cargo bay as a living room . Now the med bay door, inner airlock door, upper hatch and the promised beams and bulkheads... and then we'll go upstairs.

Mirco - No problem with those tubes. I've done it. Plain paper (20lb, or very thin card - say 32lb) rolled around a 1mm wire, then hardened with superglue (CA glue). It's tricky getting the roll started, but once you get it going not too bad. I also saw an ingenious technique somewhere - can't remember where at the moment where some guys made .5mm tubes by wrapping a long thin strip around a piece of wire (think of a spring) and then applying glue to the outside. Once it dries you slip the tube off the wire.
The hard part is finding a piece of wire that size that is straight AND stiff enough not to bend while you're using it. I've had some success making small solid cylinders by sanding down a round toothpick and gluing it to the paper first, but that's no good for hollow ones. Keep up the great work. Steve Quote:

Thank you for the tips, Sjsquirrel. I'll give it a try.
Weekend job results: We're looking from the top-left-front corner of the workspace. The green thing are the dining area interior walls, floor and ceiling. Red squares on the floor indicate positions of the airlock ceiling hatches (will be openable). So far, the interiors blended in quite well, including connection with all bulkheads and the stairs at the front. The only little glitch is that the shuttle access airlocks will have to end in the dining area, completely changing the layout of the room. Call it an artistic license . (off-topic) I finished installing a new CAD-capable computer yesterday, so I'm no longer limited to weekends only. By the way, does anybody know if there are any Windows 98 SE drivers available for Fujitsu-Siemens Scenic xB motherboard? The "designed for Windows 2000" label suggests no and I couldn't google anything up, but maybe it's just a matter of where to look...? (W98 is a must because the CAD doesn't work anywhere else) (/off-topic)

ot: did you tried running the cad soft in virtual machine? that way you wouldn't have to use Win98 as the main operating system.

What he said. This should work V.M. easily. By the way, do you have 35 or 40 hour days there? This model is incredible!!

Virtual machine? Yes, that could save the day. Thank you for the idea!
40 hour days? Unfortunately no. That's one of the reasons why the model is still not finished .
