I know of the capabilities of a lasercutter, but these are breathtaking!

Thank you for good words!

Some "dramatic" image....

Model is close to completion. The last big job will be to build about 20 lifeboats, after that - final touches.

Thanks Michael.

If You asking how assembly vent on then I can say it was a bit challenging but far from any frustration.
Haven't used any moisture adding technique, just bent each part again and again until reached required curvature. Sure, some elements a bit cracked, but adding glue and thick paint - corrected everything. Thank you for being interested.

Grateful to announce that Test model of Michelangelo is finished.

The build took much more time than it should. Like always, there are some aspects that I succeeded, and some that I didn't. This was my first build that I've used laser cut hull formers and proved itself - hull geometry appeared straight and precise.

Next step - I shall continue my work on preparing instruction and parts to be released. However I'm still planning that one (pre-realise) build must be done by some volunteer. Because too many changes, due to prolonged design and build, were carried on so that it would be a risk to realise very "buggy" issue.
