Good to see someone else engage in this sort of endeavour. Some time ago I tried to design and build this beast, but I failed in the undertaking: too big, too complex for my skill. I wish a better result than mine and you can understand with how much of interest I'll follow your work.
Best, Nando

Galaxy
Quote:
One point worth mentioning is this airplane has some very subtly curved surfaces. Three views give a false sense of security until it comes to fitting everything together (without benefit of modeling clay). This can take more time than an individual patience can allow. I've taken a break after completing the airframe envelope shown. There is a massive amount of work required to finish - details like landing gear, loading ramps, interior detail, flight deck, wing flaps and propulsion units. Wish you luck on this project and of course I'll be watching your progress. -Gil |

I've seen some of his work and the models he has built he has a lot of patience and I think he can do it.
