Okay, sorry! Then I will not even mention any crazy ideas for a refueling station. :devil

But seriously, it's very cool that you were already thinking about those things. I should have known!

Getting caught up after being off grid for two weeks. Astounding! Stunning! Absolutely jaw dropping! Magnificent! (I'm beginning to sound like the Hobbit praising Smaug) I don't have words to adequately express my delight and amazement as your creations unfold (or should I say fold - flat sheet metal to beautiful -semi WORKING- mechanical assemblies) before my eyes. The landing gear is (prepare for understatement) ...phenomenal! cool:cool Your garbage smasher salvage collection is art waiting to be organized.

That ship looks so freaking cool sitting there on its own structure!

Soooo... Boarding ramp is already in progress. Refueling station has been mentioned. I'm not going to let you forget the radome/observation platform on the top side. :devil
I have to do my part to keep this going a little longer. :angel

Hagoth-san,
Thank you very much for your phenomenal honorable praises which could make me wanna dance and sing all night.:$

....But....
Gas station? Sight seeing deck?
How about suggest me to build a Ferris wheel or hot dog stand next week?
Guys! I will never build anything coming to your naughty mind anymore. :angry:facepalm

My mom used say 'stay away from bad boys'.
God help me,

Don’t forget your Ship needs a Base of operations as well ! ... Plus , ancillary support vehicles / craft !!! ... etc ... etc...

lol:lol

And you thought you were Retired !?

I'm thinking that I'd better learn the small servo mechanism in the near future.

ooh yeah!

JediMichael · Jan 25, 2018

Man, that landing gear is really awesome looking. I normally don't care to add landing gear to a model, as I prefer it to be in flight. But having working gears and all just really makes it crazy good. I'd really think you could totally design full size ships like this,....that really work.

If you want to start to learn something new, there's no word of too late.:darnkids

lolThank you very much, Michael-san!

OK, most of the major part of this build has been finished and this project is almost done by now.
Of course, there must be some more detailing and fixing any flaw here and there
but I've just taken some pictures to see how does she looks like now.
So, I carry her to the living room and put on a dining table.
I need to see her from a little distance.
Let her standing on her own feet to get a good measurement for boarding lift and cargo ramp.
Also, maybe this will be the last time to show you the bare metal condition.

Thank you very much for looking.

Domo arigato gozaimasu - Katsu san ! :love .

When you’ve got some free time ! ..., could you please guestimate how many pieces ( parts ) went into this Incredibly Sublime Build ... and have you settled on a name for her yet ?
Just curious

...

cheersGed .

p.s. in post #853 , I wasn‘t suggesting that the landing gears be motorised ( though it’d be cool ! ) , but rather that , the amount of effort and detail you put into them - as with all aspects of this ship actually , is such that - I wouldn’t be surprised if certain features were articulated at the press of a button - such is your skill of making something , out of nothing ! :lol

SmilingOtter · Jan 26, 2018

Absolutely beautiful.

Bones_68 · Jan 26, 2018

Agreed, it truly is a thing of beauty, Katsu-san. The landing gear really shows off the wonderful profile. Every section has so much personality.

Part of me is sad that the metal surface is going away but I know whatever you have planned will be amazing.

Snow Builder · Jan 26, 2018

Absolutely gorgeous. The number of pieces you've fabricated for this model is staggering.

Very interested to see how you choose to paint/detail/finish her.

BTW, have you picked a name yet?

SCUDMAN · Jan 26, 2018

Truly amazing. I love the landing gear.

Caretaker10 · Jan 26, 2018

You are a true master-builder.. Respect!

Hagoth · Jan 26, 2018

A beautiful feast for the eyes! Can't wait to see what you do with colors.

opcorn

No more suggestions from this bad boy.:angel

blakeh1 · Jan 26, 2018

A true work of art!

IN a way i kind of like the bare metal finish. Curious to see what you have planned for it color wise

Zuiun · Jan 26, 2018

This is truly stunning! Can't wait to see what you have planned for paint!

Any idea how heavy it is?

Dream on! Ged-san.

Her name is Cyclops.
The total number of the parts are 4358 pieces including my nose hair.

Thanks, Bones-san. I will paint it in early February,
I hope if I can paint this not to kill the metal taste.

Thanks, Zuiun-san.
Now she is 11 pounds.

Today is a Saturday here.
My wife took me to the super market to buy a week supply of foods and drinks.
So, I had only 3 hours for the model.

I made a couple of boarding lifts today.

When it's retracted, the size of it is 1" wide x 1.2" high.

The 1st shaft.

and the 2nd shafts.

The length will be up to 3 1/2 inches.

it's a bit fancy for a battleship isn't it.

Tomorrow, I will insert the elevator cage and put a couple of figures inside.

Thank you very much for looking.

opcorn !!!

blakeh1 · Jan 27, 2018

Fantastic!

Hagoth · Jan 27, 2018

Never disappointed. Fits nicely in style with the landing gear. Well done!

Elevator cage should not look like a bank deposit tube... :lol
The very fact that I had this run through my mind means it will not be used by your own decree! Right? :angel
