Well... ... I know, it's getting late to start something... ... the time to build is very short... ... but I will try to put something on the wheels...  ... I thought long and hard about, where to go... ... and I start with this one:  What looked so easy to begin with, wasn’t so easy, the kit looks like a toy... ... but getting those two hull half’s together with the deck was a torture... ... the black parts are a strange sort of very soft and very wrapped plastic...  But I did it...   More to come... |

Oh WOW, Bobby's in!!!!! Amazing dude! Hopeully spending the first two months thinking will mean you can blast through the build easily in the last month! Like, 2/3rds planning, 1/3rd building. Good strategy!
This is gonna be wild already, I can tell. That ship looks HUGE! Does it actually glow in the dark?

Well, Jim, the plan is still not complete, I just know the approximate course, so in, about... And no, the scale should be 1:72, according to Revell, but I think that they were wrong, it is much smaller. But that's just the right size for my Project... That's what you get:  ... and that's the magic:   Somehow you smear that everywhere on the finished model, what in my opinion, does not look so good, because it is visible in the long term:  ... and you already have the magic in the dark, for a short time...  |

Well... ... unfortunately, things are moving slowly... ... small steps... ... I've bent the masts slightly backwards...   ... and made some new wheels, here the two different widths, think, I go with the right ones...  ... otherwise, there is still much to do, just as I imagine it, I can not done it to the deathline... |

Even if you don't make the deadline I'd still like to see where this one goes Bobby! TOO cool man! Love those wheels!
