Another Star Ship

Wow! Glad I checked in to look again: I didn't realize the amazement continued!
I wonder: does this shuttle ship have its own shuttle ship? And where would it end? To illustrate....

You guys are good at killing me softly!

Seriously, as I wrote on the post #938 in page 40, the space port is one of the list I want to build.
I'm thinking about a square yard size of it. And I have some new idea to pour into it.
The issues that I have to clear are where do I display it and how to protect from falling dust.
 
Welcome aboard, Ladies and Gentlemen.
We are ready to depart to the star tour on the star cruiser Hyperion.
When you awake from the hyper sleep in a cozy cabin behind a huge window on the starboard side, put on the easy clothing and come up to the 1,000feet high observation deck to see the galaxy. You want to swim so soon? Come to the Palm Beach. You can get the sun tan under the artificial sun light. Hungry? Texas style BBQ will be served for lunch. When you get tired of swimming, have a drink or two inside the bar under the palm trees. You want to see movies? Come to the theater on the port side. Star Wars and Star Trek are running all night. Popcorn and coke are all on a house.
Dinner? ‘Three Star’ restaurants are open at the next of the theater. We’ll serve you any dish you want. How about to take a little walk in the Star Light Park for digestion? Oh! You want jog around in the Planet Earth Plaza. No problem at all. You can run in the breeze.
Go up to the long shopping mall to buy some souvenir. Or buy a ring for your lady to make a surprise propose under the star-filled sky?
Late at night, everybody bring your own bottle and get together in the captain’s quarter on the top deck. Talk about the model build and things about Sci-fi till the sun comes up behind the Jupiter.

OK! Fire up the Hyper-Ion engine. We are departing!

I don't know if this is the end of this build but I think it's a one good period to express my gratitude from my heart to all the people here posting me a wonderful praises and comment. When I get back and read them from time to time, they bring tears to my eyes even now. For more than a year long along this build, I totally enjoyed each and every part. However, I still had a hard time and stuck some times. Your great support and kind advice saved me from having to abandon this project.

Katsuhiko Fujihira


PS: As the other way to express my gratitude with hoping it might be a little help for your further build. I've just finished to write the memo of 'Some tips and tricks I used for the build of ‘Hyperion’. It's nothing great but A4 15 pages with pics in MS Word 2010 6.8MB. If you PM me your e-mail address, I will pleased to send it up to you.

Thank you very much again.

Katsu-san,

Thank you for the mention on the passengers/crew list of honor, it has been a great experiance to follow this build.

I hope that the Hyperion and her 'little' shuttle cruise the stars for years to come!
 
So exited, cant wait to see the crab nebula up close as we pass it :D

Probably go back to hypersleep after that for the rest of the journey.

See you there ;)
 
While I'm sure that room kyū-jū hachi will be luxurious, there's too much to do elsewhere on the ship to spend a lot of time there...

Also: you counted all our posts?!? I'm entirely impressed...
 
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And to add another equally impressive ship in the landing bay is genius.

I am honored to be among your passenger list, Katsu-san. Arigato!
 
AWWWW YISSS i'm on the passenger list! Man oh man you have made my night Katsu-san. I thank you from the bottom of my alcohol soaked heart for this ride, from conception to fruition and wish i had half the skills you do. 'tis indeed sad to see something like this come to an end and your shuttle truly rounded off a great masterpiece. A drink and a cheers to you sir!
