So the time has come around to start building this thing. I have printed most of the parts and greeblies to fit as soon as I get the structure sorted.
As always with these big builds it is necessary to completely finish the underside first, to avoid too many turns

Here's where I am so far...
Cheers guys...bit more progress on the underside. Primed the hull, cargo bay and chute are fitted and waiting for lights. Fixed all the large surface panels and the dome and have started putting on the trim and chiplets
For motion control, he’ll have to put it on one of those little trains they have at the zoo. I daydream about dangling a high explosive laden Borg cube made from plastic pallets with miles of discarded wires and sprue on it from an abandoned warehouse crane above an old TV station camera…
