Don't know how you do it Sofa...the amount of work is staggering and the result really shows how dedication, hard work and passion can produce such iconic set:cool
You' re an example to follow, that's for sure!!
Sofa, this is legendary, you know that? This thread is my first stop every morning on the interwebs, and it never ceases to amaze me...and motivate me!
Hi M,
I don't know... All of you continue to inspire and motivate me so... I'm just trying to finish it up so we can start Ver 2! Thanks so much for the kind words and continued support! Let's hope for a productive and exciting next couple of months!
Version2??????:eek
Version2??????:eek
Yesss!!... The version to be made out of silver, gold, & platinum!...
Amazing work, SofaKing! It seems you've cracked curved wall making effectively!
I have a suggestion: The floor grating along the wall in the corridor is going to be subject to a bit of natural wear (people stepping on it). Presumably the grating is supposed to be metal. Would it be an idea to cut similar grates in thin aluminium plate and glue it to the MDF structure? That way, when the paint start to chip naturally, it will pick up the proper weathering all on its own, and not need repaint/replacing after every show?
Sofa is the bada** large scale builder we all wish we were.
Keep it up brother!!

Soon, it will be a fully enclosed space, filled with magic and lights and the smell of hotdogs with extra onions! Perfect!!
Random observations...
Great update!
I wonder what white glue is called in countries where Elmer's isn't a big brand.
I didn't know that about sealing the edges of MDF...good tip.
I notice you have dressed up the transition from the round hull to the platform beneath. That was a good idea.
Those forward shelves are a bit of an optical illusion. From some angles, it's almost impossible to see them as horizontal, rather than sloping towards the ground.
These latest shots of the cockpit really show it coming together. It suggests how cool the final product will be.
I don't know what you were planning, but I want to encourage you to eventually put glass in the windows. I know it's often left out for film sets because of reflections and other issues, but I think it will sell the look if you include them.
Seeing all the work you've done on the lower hull panels, how on earth are you going to tackle the upper panels? Access seems so difficult.
I've never seen those T Nuts before. What exactly do they do?
great update, you're really tackling this entrance corridor quicly. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I dont feel like searching through 330+ pages, but what do you do for a living? Because if you don't already work in set building for hollywood and think about a new career, this would make a nice portfolio piece
Hi OC,
I'm a graphic artist during my downtime You should see the number of concept sketches I've done for all the greeblies, panels and various parts of the build.
Hey Sofa,
You just know we're all going to say "Yes Please", to that offer don't you (as and when you ever get the time of course):lol.
Roughneckone :cool
