"Prepare to be amazed!" is ringing in my head. (From the movie Meet the Robinsons)

I never cease to be amazed at how you turn a flat piece of sheet into such simple yet interesting shapes with a few cutouts, bends, and folds.

Somehow the huge multi-story open floor control room seems fitting for this ship. I really like the direction you are taking this.

Thanks always for your kind comment,sir.

Hi, friends.

Here's a little updates.

I fixed the end caps for the engineering sections.
Then I fixed both left and right side roofs.
It's coming close to the final shape.

The Acrylic sphere has been arrived and I started to build the commanding room.

This is the 16 mm (about a 2/3 inch) diameter sphere.
I hot glued it up on a pipe for further work.

I used this paint spray. 'Blue Steel'.
This is for the non ferrous metal we usually use for the paint job for air soft-gun.

I'd like to try a few more idea for this part and it will be finished.

Last Saturday, we visited to my sister's apartment to watch the Sumida river firework festival 2017.
That was the 40 years anniversary of this event and they fire up 22000 shots of fireworks in 90 minutes.
My sister' apartment is 8th floor right in front of the river and the fireworks is only 300 yards ahead.
That was fantastic!!

This is the final minutes of it.

Also, my sister serve us her NewYork style baked cheese cake.
That was also fantastic.

The lady on the right is my sister playing Alien Isolation on Xbox-one. She is single and 7 years younger than me.

It's been a long time sine I met her last but she was fine.

Nice work katsu-San, love the work on the upper deck, the sphere with the lines is totally brilliant, the blue steel paint on the lower deck floor also looks fantastic, the green of the upper deck gives a nice reflective colour to the lower deck
great work as always

your sister is single and 7 years younger !!! You sound like a dating service and trying to get her a partner :lol

Just those few minutes of fireworks were pretty spectacular.

I don't know which pictures made me smile more - the command room or the lit up engines. They're both beautiful.

Thank you very much always, Bengrim09-san.
Naa, my sister is too much enjoying her life already.
Been looking at me, she decided not to involve a man in her life.
Good thinking.:D

Love the updates and the command room looks very cool. But the real question is how does everyone stay so thin eating NY cheese cake?!!!

Thank you very much, Bones-san.

Exercise, my friend, exercise. (double cross):lol

That was a wonderful night.

Such a beautiful build. Love the way the lights enhance it.

Thank you very much for the kind comment, Moo-san.

Today's pics are little bit boring but please have a look.
Before I finish and seal the control room, I may have to make some crew figures.
This morning I made a dozen of these.
Here's the series of pics how I made the small figure.
For the instruction purpose, the figures in the pics are doubled scale for the actual figures that I am going to put in a model.

I used a 0.3 mm thick sheet aluminum for the actual figures.
In the pics, I used 0.5 mm sheet aluminum.

Not be seen in the pics but I scribed some shallow line on the sheet aluminum.
I marked three horizontal lines which are the length from the bottom to the crotch,
from the bottom to the armpit and from bottom to the shoulder.

Then I cut it up with a nail scissors.

Then I cut off both shoulder line with a sharp nipper.(Do not use the scissors)

Then I folded forward the head in half.

Then, I cut off both arms for an appropriate length with a nipper.

Trimmed the overall shape with a nipper and polished with a nail file.

Isn't it looks like a human figure, isn't it?.....No?

The dirty on the right is the tip of my index finger.

No! no! Tom-san, no!.
I made a small figures not the big finger.:angry

The smaller figure on the right is the one goes in the model.

When I got used to do it, I was able to make one in a 5 minutes.

I love how you were able to make such good looking (Ok - TINY) figures so easily.

And if you ever decide to change your profile picture, you should totally go with that last one... :D.

'Marty.... We go back to the future!!'

Thanks!

Now all you need to do is make some tiny bento boxes for the figures that are on a lunch break. :p

Can't wait to see them painted and on the command deck.
