Thank you very much, Muzza-san !!
I spent 4-5 hours each for a day of this week end.
This is the a few progress of today.
Some rather large plates on the roof are just for test fitting.
Thanks for looking.

A little progress of yesterday.
I started to think about the bridge. Looks like I need some more idea.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Al-san.
I started to think about conning tower.
After some draw and trash, here is the sketch for.
And 3D-ing
Using the plastic grille. The flower pot stuff.
Let's see how it goes.
That's it for a day.
Thanks for looking !

Thank you very much, gentlemen !!
So far it looks like a millionaire's pleasure boat:lol.
Today I started to detail up the tower.
Scored the groove on the plates for 0.25 FO.
Add a few more detail and then to the upper deck.
The trench on the aft deck behind this tower will be like a petrochemical complex.
Thanks for looking.

Hi ! thanks for looking.Fantastic!
Your Battlestar looking cool!:thumbsup
I think your original modeling technique is really magnificent.
I'm look forward to seeing more.
I saw your CCXRed2 is in a trouble right now.
It happens but I guess your skill can fix it faster than you think.:thumbsup
I believe you'll make it all right.:love

Today, I could squeezed out one and half hours to build before I get to my job. So I did a little preparation for tomorrow.
Last time I did the lighting with optic fibers, I had a hard time to fix those fibers in the layers.
I had to make many of these parts with my awkward fingers.
I've been thinking about any other way to make it more efficiently.
And I don't think it's a best way to do but I fixed the some kind of 'bed' for the fiber like this.
I made this with a acrylic plate and aluminum tube and a couple of screw bolts.
Then I set up the fibers on it like a wires in a grand piano with a double side glue tape.
Unfortunately, I had cut all the 0.25 fibers in 1 feet long some days ago, I have to did this one by one
but if you have a long straight line of fiber, all you have to do is just reel the fiber around and around.
Then I inserted the plastic piece with superglue from the side way. and sandwiched with the other sheet plastic.
And then I cut it up. This time I could make it two in 30 min.
I will cut them in an appropriate length and put it in a layers.
There must be some other better way to do this but I will try with this, this time.

Incredible!
Yeah I'm not sure if there is any better method of installing fiber optics. I just do a small section at a time and then glue that section in from the backside with Aleenes tacky glue, which is like Elmers only thicker. CA might attack and break a strand. Or you can slightly melt the end so that it mushrooms and can't fall back through the hole. I prefer a dab of glue on each one though.
