Post by galaxy_jason »

Been posting in the Trek section but haven't posted here in a while. I have an updated cover photo and a few new build photos on my build up web page.

Making progress, thanks for looking...

That HAS to be awkward to whoosh around the house. :D

Apart from that, great work. Nice to see traditional model woodworking methods put to good use.
Sheer elegance in its simplicity.

Political unrest in dictatorships is rather like a round of rock-paper-scissors: The oposition goes on denouncing the regime on the papers, the regime censors the papers, rock-throwing ensues.

Why just build the kits you see, buy some plastic, an xacto and some glue and see what you can throw together.

I would like to see more.

You know, I had this idea of super stacking parts. Imagine I get a replica of your bridge, shave off the top--and place a 1/350 scale bridge atop that. Repeat. Place a 1/537 atop that, and so on to a pin-point, desguising each layer a bit to where I have an odd ziggerat.

Same with secondary hulls. In the TOS Ent, you have these two blocky projections to either side of the nav-dish setting. Each of those would be discrete secondary hulls (the aft ends cut and puttied to flare into the larger sec hull. Repeat--turtles all the way down.

A fractal model where you see the same structures repeating while zooming in.

Something to think about.
