ーProgress of the last couple of days.

Upper wall of the bay.

Plant a few optical fibers..

It goes here.

Adding some pipelines.

Putting on the hood and structure.

Not a good progress but thanks for looking.

Looks like good progress from here! I love the piping. Is that more aluminum or is it silver solder or something softer like that?

Thaks, Alex-san,

I used aluminum wire for this piping. I stretched it straight and bent with my finger.
I wanted to do this with some more thicker or thinner wires. Maybe later I add them.

Looks good. Those metal edges look sharp, hope you haven't cut yourself. I'd probably cut a finger off by now.

yuumi2891103 · Feb 11, 2017

Thanks, Michael-san,

I've been chopped off some but I'm OK, still a few fingers got left.

I guess if you have more than are missing, thats good.

There is supposed to be more robots that can bend/fold metal:

You might use some radiators that fold.

Hi<
Thanks for introducing the interesting site.
And I have happened to do that kind of thing yesterday.

Oh, I got an accident yesterday.
I was trying to drill a rather large hole in a middle of the structure plate.
Suddenly the dremel jumped and damaged the hull badly.
That was where the piping place I built recentry.
I have to redo there and some lighting wiring as well.
It's going to be just an one day work but depressing anyway.:facepalm

OK here are some pics of the latest work.

That work needed a little tip but not that difficult.

The upper wall with piping above the small bay has been gone....

I said to myself with a deep breath, 'Next work will be better than this'.

Thanks for looking.

I just love the detail and geometry you keep adding. Looking very cool. :cool

Tip: Windex takes off fingerprints very nicely if you do happen to lay down a few.

Thanks for the useful info, Hagoth-san. It looks good. I found it on Amazon now.
I don't know if my fingerprints may effect the finish of paint job but I may have to wash or wipe them away before I do.

Oh, also, when I sand the surface of the aluminum sheet, my fingers are coverd with the black aluminum dust.
I didn't know but it seems I often touch around my mouth with the fingers.
I don't want my wife and daughter laugh at it anymore.

Hello yuumi-san ( Katsu ) ? ,
Hoping you and yours are well . Just wondering how your excellent ' metal ' ship is going ? .

Cheers Ged

yuumi2891103 · Mar 17, 2017

Hi, Ged-san,
Thanks for asking.

As I said last time, Dremel bounced, rolled in and pulled away the LEDs wire and blowing off the bulkhead plate.
It took time to restore than I thought. I had to disintegrate the most of the hull part and re-wiring and reassemble.

This is the pics of damaged part. The bulkhead wall was completely gone.

Restored part.

I added the upper hanger deck and the landing pad in front of it.

Close up of the upper hanger deck.

Added a few more pipe lines.

I hope you'll think it's better than before at least.

Oh,

On March 13, I was retired.

Here's a pic of me and the president on the last day.
She is an outstanding person and my best friend.

And my fellow workers.

Thanks for looking.

Congratulations, Yummi-san! Best wishes for your next life adventure!

Regards, Robert

JediMichael · Mar 17, 2017

Congrats. More time for models right? Best of wishes and have fun.

DaddyfromNaboo · Mar 17, 2017

All the best for your retirement! More time for passion projects, I guess. The ship looks better and better, and seeing an all metal project is really awe inspiring.
