Happy New Year to you too my friend.
Looks like a very nice meal. Makes me very hungry now.
I love the landing gear.
It always amazes me how you think these things up and just make them work..
May have been a boring process but the result is awesome.
And thank you very much for the 7 rules of F.P.S.
I will remember them well. Especially this one: Better to switch weapon than to reload.
I have found a very nice free FPS game to play on my laptop.
It is called Warface, I play it every day.
Best regards,
Jim
Thanks for the comment, Jim-san
I heard that the Warface is some nice game.
I will try after I cleared the COD WW2

Thank you very much, Ged-san!!
All the frustrating works are now rewarded by your kind comment, my friend.
You sure make it look so good and easy.
Thank you, Michael-san.
Happy new year to you and your family Katsu-san may you all have a healthy and prosperous 2018
The landing gear is totally outstanding, yet again you have pulled another marvel out of the bag ( you must have a big bag ) from design to build is truly astonishing,
did you try different designs or did you draw one design then build it ? as I and many others would have tried a few different designs / attempts to end up with something that even resembles landing gear and probably nowhere near as fantastic as what you have built.

Thank you very much, Ben-san.
There were three ideas for the landing gear in my mind.
Skid type, wheel type and the chicken leg type.
I choose the chicken leg type and tried to draw the rough sketch.
This is the first one.
Then I drew a bit more detailed one for scaling.
Due to the total balance and the limited space to put them on, I had to make it be able to fit in a size of 1" x 1" x 3 " square when they were retracted. .
I wanted to actuate the four claw tow tip with four actuator rods but was difficult to keep it in that space.
So I gave up that idea and fix the final design.
Those landing gear are incredible!
They easily look like they could be fully functional
Happy New Years, and great advice for your daughters!
Thank you very much, blakeh1-san, I'm really rewarded with your kind words.
That landing gear is bonkers, man! I love it! :thumbsup
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you love it.
Yeah, what a great update. I can't wait to see how the landing gear will attach to the ship. All best wishes to you and your family in the new year.
Thank you, Bones-san. Landing gear is the last big fixture for this model, I hope it goes good.
That landing gear is insanely cool. You're an engineer-artist.
I hope your daughters recognize the wisdom in your advice, and apply it to all aspects of their life.
Thank you, Tom-san. Yes, I hope they do.
In fact, My daughter No.2 is called a real killer in the web game world.
Massive Immediate Killer Instinct
looks like I created a monster for the world....:facepalm
I hope she never drift into a dark side.
